The Linton Rifle Club

The Linton Rifle Club was formed in the year 1900, chief among its promoters being Mr. Hugh Akers, with Captain George Craw first in command. The present membership is fifteen, and the corps takes a leading place among the rifle clubs of the North Island. Frequent shooting practices are held on the rifle range at Linton, and also on the Government range at Hokowhitu. In the New Zealand championship teams' match at Trentham, in 1907, the club scored seventh place, and in the same year they won Mr. Grear's valuable shield against some of the best teams in the Dominion. In other contests the club has also done capital shooting.
