Haslam Shooting.

The Haslam Shield Match, a Tournament event, will be fired at Trentham on Saturday, April 6th.

At the time of writing the provisional team has not been picked, but it is safe to forecast that it will include Ross, a reliable shot who won his "Blue" in 1933; Croxton, who shot his way into second place last year; Clark, and Sansum. Both these latter gained places in the final teams for 1933 and 1934, and all four should be able to attain Tournament rank in 1935.

Several other competitors and aspirants of previous years are turning out again, but seem as yet hardly to have had enough practice to do themselves justice, while there are several newcomers who have done quite well at practices but have not been tested under match conditions.

Ineligibility deprives the Club this year of two good men—Perry, who gained his "Blue" in 1933 and was again in the final 1934 team, and Harrison, a "Blue" of 1930 vintage, who reached top score for Victoria last year.

The Club has been fortunate in obtaining an issue of service rifles, and although the ammunition has not been very satisfactory. Victoria should be able to show a not discreditable result if weather conditions on the 6th are at all good.
