PARRIS ISLAND, S.C., June 15 - These three shooters and the scoreboard "tell" the story as far as individual shooting in the Marine Corps Rifle and Pistol Matches is concerned. Left to right, the Marines are; 1stLt. W. W. McMillan of Parris Island, 1stLt. R. E. Martin, Twenty-Nine Palms, Calif., and Capt. C. E. Reese, Cherry Point, N.C.

Three position! The two on the ground are properly using the sling. "Lauchheimer" is a German name - a person from the town of Lauchheim. I remember when I qualified beating the crap out of my elbows, knees and butt, even with pads, while hitting the positions in timed fire.
