SHERIDAN BARRIN-
GER of Hillsboro, Illi-
nois, designed the rifle
range shown here which
carned for him the W.J.R.
C. Special Service Pin.
Barringer is 12 years old and a
member of the Winchester Junior
Rifle Corps. This range shows
what a little inventive genius
can give you in the way of a safe
range for rife shooting, The plan
needs no explanation. The picture
shows how simple the range is to
build.
Of course, not every boy has a
back yard or field where he can build
such a range. For the city boy, a
safe backstop for .22 shooting can
be rigged up in the cellar or attic.
All you need to stop a .22 bullet is
a packing box filled with sand.
No boy, no matter where he lives,
need give up hope of getting in on
this manly and fascinating sport of
rifle shooting simply because he
doesn’t happen to have a rifle of his
own or live out in the country.
Starta W. J.R. C. “Unit”
with your friends
‘The Winchester Junior Rifle Corps
will help you from start to finish in
rigging up an indoor or outdoor
range.
The W.J.R.C. gives you all the
instruction necessary to become a
real expert in the use of a rifle. It
provides for officers, supervisors,

W.J.R.C. There are no dues and no
military obligations. Any boy or girl
not over 18, who is in good standing
in his or her community, is eligible.
Membership in the W.J.R.C. covers the
entire United States. There is hardly a
town now that has not at least a small
“Unit” where boys are learning to become
expert riflemen and are competing among
themselves for the famous Winchester
Marksman, Sharpshooter and Expert Rifle-
man Medals.
Get together with half a dozen of your
chums, join the WIR C. and organise a ro-
ular unit which will be officially recognized by
National Headquarters. Any boy who starts
a Unit gets a Special Service Pin, And when
you have enough marksmen in your Unit
You will be matched against other Units.
