(Successor to A1 Huerby Motors) IN YOUR ENTRY , CONTEST CLOSES OCT, 'Deer Shoot' Gets Heavy Play From Hopeful Hunters The running deer shoot con- ducted by the Shelton llifle and Pistol Club last Sunday drew a large and enthusiastic crowd of hunters and spectators. After sighting in their rifles on the sta- tionary targets shooters were gt/v- en 'an opportunity to try tTmir skill at hitting the moving deer target. Shooting from 100 yards the deer proved quite elusive to many hunters---perhaps it was just "buck fever." However, oth- ers fired with an accuracy that would have stopped any live deer in its tracks. Hunters using lever action ri- fles were able to get in several mor@ shots at the deer than most bolt action shooters, but not al- ways with better accuracy. The deer was marked off into various scoring areas with the vital zones counting up to ten points.. Top shooting for bolt ac- tion rifles was turned in by Bob Marshall with three top scoring tens for a 30 point total. Best lever action shooting was made by Don Lund who turned in a 10-10-10-3-0 string for a 33 point total. Other fine shooting was done by John Yingst, Her- man Heinold, Tony Nelson, Bill Sallee and Bud LaPlant who made 20 points i;3 two shots. The ladies turned in some fine shooting--shoing up a lot of the men present. Jean LaPlant fired a 10-0 string and Easter Lurid turned in a 3-0 string. Of a total possible score among all shooters of 2670 points the ac- tual hits scored 711 points. This made an average score for the 109 entries of 6& points, which makes it sound as though there will be plenty of venison on the Mason county tables come hunt- lng season. Observations at the sighting-in area after close of the shooting disclose d that two hunters using a .303 SaVage and a Winchester: .25-35 have unsafe rifles. Shells of these calibers were found which show excessive head space. It is felt necessary to warn all hunters to have a complete check on their rifles before using them during hunting season, With the favorable reception that this running deer shoot re- Celled it is hoped that the Shel- ton Rifle and Pistol Club can put on a more elaborate and even l more interesting shoot next year. i THE FORUM I . Star Route 1, Box 355 Bclfair, Washington Dear Editor: It would seem that we who live on Hood Canal between Belfair and Union are the "forgotten men and women" so faT' as bus :ervice is concerned between Bremcrton and Sheltoh. Under the schedule which went into effect on Septem- ber 6, 1949, th is the service we now get: If we want to go to Shelton to shop, or for anly other purpose, on week days we can get a bus from Belfair at 2:55 p.m. but can't get back by bus until the following Day at 11:30 a.m. On Friday omy we could get a return bus at 5:45 pro. On Saturdays, Sundays and loli- days we could get a rcturn bus at 8:b5 p.m. Now, if we want to go to Brain- erich, we can get a bus from Bcl- fair at 12:20 p.m. and a return bus from Bremerton at 2:30 p.m., al- lowing 1 hour and 45 minutc, lor any shopping or errands we Jtty have to do, as the bus arrive, in Bremcrton at 12:15 p.m. On Fr- days, Saturdays, Sundays and hol- idays, there is a bus trom lrcm- crton at 6:00 p.m. It should bc of interest to the business men of both Shelton and Bremerton that vccy little shop- ping can be done in either city if the prospective shopper has to de- pend on the bus to get to town. This letter is written from the standpoint of residents along the North Shore of Hood CanaH no doubt the Brcmerton - Tacoma Stages, Inc., have their reasons for curtailing their service to the above cxtcnt. Possibly there is not enough btls- iness to warrant better servicc, but other runs might have suffi- cient passenger traffic to make up for the lack of sufficient passeng- ers on this part of the route. What- ever the reason, let us hope a re- vised schedule wtU soon be put into effect. I Yours very truly, Mrs. G. G. ShacleorJ.

' -- • r Sheltonian Shoots vy Mammoth Moose On Canadian Hunt One hundred years ago tias August the U. S. Patent Oftzce issued a patent which helped change the course of history in al- most every land on earth. It was Waiter Hunt's patent No. 6663 for the "Volition Repeater" and was the first appearance of what became the lever-action repeating rifle. That few persons associate Hunt with the lever-action rifle is understandable. His idea be- came practical only after it was refined and suitable fixed ammun- ition was invented. TODAY, looking back over the hundred-year pedigree of the rifle that's operated by a lever, this gun holds its own with the more recent bolt and slide-action rifles. its influence on history was im- mense, according to arms expert Bill Depperman. Those who claim the Model 73 lever-action was "the rifle that won the West" are quite right. However, Hunt had bitten off more than he could chew. His con- ical bullets which he called "rock- et bails" were reluctant tO per- form according to the direetions that Mr. Hunt wrote on the label. And lacking a proper eartrfdge, no lever-action could have work- ed properly. FROM HUNT patents for the lever-action moved through sev- eral phases until the repeater was acquh'ed by a Connecticut shirt I manufacturer named Winchester. He fought a lossing battle to have the rifle perfected. With all the Company Lands To Open For Entry Simpson Logging Company lands in Mason and Grays Harbor counties will be reopened to entry this Saturday except in areas im- mediate to logging operations, company officials announced this week. THE STATE FORESTER has been asked to lift closures on Simpson lands because the danger of fires in this area has been less- ened by weather conditions, it was explained. The fire season clos- ures were placed in effect last July. Oscar Levin, managing forester of the South Olympic Tree Farm, which includes A large amount of Simpson lands, urged sportsmen to continue fire precautions while hunting this season. "A FEW DAYS of drying winds could bring back fh'e conditions which have been so dangerous this sununer and early fall," Levtn explained. "Sportsmen can help local, state and federal laresters by being careful with their smok- ing and camp fires. We have had wonderful cooperation from sports- men in past years and I'm confi- dent this will continue through the 1949 hunting season."
