Description
Photograph of men at pistol target range, ca.1930. Two men in darkly colored suits and hats aim handguns at a target in the center while a man to their right sits on a stool taking notes. The targets are dark circles on a rectangular lightly colored background that are visible lined up in the distance. Above the circular targets stand human shaped pictures that could be used to add difficulty. In the foreground, a man with a large stomach slumps over to clean his gun on a small staircase below the firing range. To the left a man leans on his knee with his right arm as he looks at what appears to be the results of his target practice.
