Major Charles W. Hinman
He is one of the few American riflemen who have shot at home and abroad,
and who have won the highest prizes in England and America.
He designed the Massachusetts decimal target in 1883, believed to be the
first decimal count target used by rifle clubs in America. 1885 he
designed the standard American 200-yard target that was used until a few
years ago when the NRA targets were introduced. |
