By 1923 smallbore was no longer viewed as a sideshow to the military matches and the smallbore shooters were delighted to be greeted by a new centrally located shooting ground. For the past three years it took a hike of about a mile to reach the smallbore facility then located at the extreme western reaches of Camp Perry. Competitors found an innovative target carrier system instead of the traditional wooden frames upon which targets had been tacked. They were replaced by six small gauge railway type tracks that ran down range. Upon these were fixed wheeled trucks holding the target frames that were moved to the required distance by a rope and pulley arrangement similar to that found at indoor shooting galleries. It soon became apparent that the new facilities would be inadequate for the unexpected large number of contestants so Captain G.L. Wotkyns, smallbore range director, doubled the range capacity by adding six more sets of target carriers to meet demand.
