Apr. 18 The blind shots on competition: There has been a competition in Sweden between seeing and blind shots. The blind won. They did it through using a new type of sight which can be applicated on rifles as well as on bows. Instead of the sight there as a small box on the rifle. The box is transmitting a tone. The bead is replaced by a photo electric cell. The target has rings, painted in the complete grey scale. The center is pure white. When the marksman is taking aim the box is very noisy when he is pointing at the outer parts of the target. The more into the center he is pointing the lower the sound is when pointing exactly at the center the box is silent. Then he has to pull the trigger. The invention has been done by a Swedish engineer by name Knut Sandberg. This new sight is very efficacious, In fact the blind shots had much better results than their seeing colleagues in the competition. It is supposed that the invention will be very appreciated by people who is trying to stimulate the blind to take part in sport events
