Rv shooting with a keen eye,
atrong hold, an unerring skill
Private Augustus Byrd, U. S.
? n son of Mr. Mace Byrd,

a a sharpshooter at the Ma

"Shooting is always attrac
ts and shooting the marine
orps way is doubly so. The
•narine corps way is nothing
|nore or less than hitting the
target. .Every effort is made
;0 qualify men on the rifle
range which not only gives
jvjem increased pay but makes
hem more valuable to them
selves and to the service. The
showing made by the marines
jn ail prize and champion
snip matches speaks well for
the coaching and training that
they receive along these lines.
Young Byrd, enlisted in the
Marine Corpus last December
«t the Marine Corps Recruit
ing Station, Odd Fellows
Building, Memphis, Tenn., the
only shooting that he had ever
done at that time was with’ a
small air rifle and some shoot
ing with a shot-gun. He was
transferred to the marines
training camp at Paris Island,
S. C., where he received a
short training, after which he
was transferred to the receiv
ing station Philadelphia, Pa.,
where he is now stationed.
“We make marksman out
cf the rawest material” Cap
tain Louis E. Fagan, Jr.,
Officer in charge of the Mem
phis station, said” and after
a short recruit training, all re
cruits are then sent to the rifle
range, where they are coach
ed by experts, who show the re
cruit how to judge the wind,
and also distances.
“This training allows the
marine to return home upon
liis discharge, and he will then
he able to protect his family
against theft, etc.”
