Displayed below is a picture of the Long Range target that was used by the
American and Irish teams competing at the Creedmoor Match in 1874. As you can
see, it is significantly different than the target we use today. The original
Creedmoor target contained square and rectangular scoring areas (2, 3, and 4 points), and
was twice as wide (12 feet) as the target in use today.
