SHERIDAN BARRINGER of Hillsboro, Illinois, designed the rifle range shown here which earned 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 rifle 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.
Start a 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, and adult instructors to make your shooting safe.
It costs you nothing to join the 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 Rifleman Medals.
Get together with half a dozen of your chums, join the W.J.R.C. and organize a regular 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.
Get the official plan and handbook
Write today for the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps “Plan for organizing a W.J.R.C. Unit,” and for the official handbook, How to handle a rifle safely. This booklet tells you all about the W.J.R.C. and describes in detail the fine points of shooting.
If you are a boy scout, or member of another boys’ organization, state what organization and give the name of the official in charge.
