Saturday 28 May 1887 - Shooting competition at Wickhamford range

The Volunteers.

The second competition between members of the D (Evesham) Company of Volunteers took place at the Wickhamford range on Saturday last. The weather, although dry, was bad from a “shootist’s point of view, the wind and light being very changeable, and at times the mirage was most troublesome. The scores were very low, the following being the best:
