Mr. Liebeler.

And you wouldn't be able to identify that rifle if I showed you a picture of it now?

Mr. Davis.

No, sir; when you see as many rifles as I do out at that range out there, it would be hard unless there was something outstanding about it.

Mr. Liebeler.

There was nothing outstanding about that that you can remember now?

Mr. Davis.

I was more or less mad when I went down there, because someone was shooting at the wrong target.

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you observe these two gentlemen leaving the range on. the 17th?

Mr. Davis.

No, sir; I sure didn't.

Mr. Liebeler.

Have you had experience with the sighting in of rifles?

Mr. Liebeler.

You are quite experienced in that field, as a matter of fact, are you not?

Mr. Davis.

Well, I have taught myself in the past 5 months of operation of that gun range to where I can usually sight one in within 8 to 10 shots pretty close. Mr. Price is a gun enthusiast and he is real good at it. and he has been doing it for a long time.

Mr. Liebeler.

If a man purchased a rifle from a mail-order house that had a telescopic sight mounted on it, would you have any opinion as to what the accuracy of that rifle would be without it having actually been sighted in by actual firing of the rifle?

Mr. Davis.

If the gun was anywhere near accurate, it would have to be an accident, because the slightest jar can knock a scope 2 or 3 foot out of balance, and there is no way that you could ship a gun and carry a gun around a little bit and make sure it being accurate. That is why your deer hunters practice and shoot their guns in every year before they go deer hunting. And I have saw them waste almost five boxes of shells trying to get them accurate down there after having sighted them in the year before.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are you familiar with the technique of boresighting?

Mr. Davis.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

If a rifle is boresighted is that enough to make it accurate?

Mr. Davis.

By the average individual, no. And by the shops around Dallas here, no. Because they have brought us several guns out there that have been boresighted in various shops around Dallas and we have had to resight them, because another thing, the scope will have to be adjusted to the individual eyes, too.

Mr. Liebeler.

And that can only be done through firing a rifle?

Mr. Davis.

That is right, that can only be done from firing a rifle and sighting it in. You can get it close, but you couldn't get it right on target, especially at a hundred yards.
Every gun I sight in, I boresight them myself at a 25-yard target to get. them into the 25-yard target, and once I get it within an inch of the "bullseye," then I go to the long range, which is easy to bring it in.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are you familiar with the Irving Sports Shop in Irving, Tex.?

Mr. Davis.

Nothing; only I have dropped a poster off, advertising, when I first opened the gun range, and I am not familiar with the owner of it.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know a gentleman by the name of Dial Ryder?

Mr. Davis.

No, sir; not the name. I may know the face, but I don't know the name.

Mr. Liebeler.

He works in the Irving Sports Shop.

Mr. Davis.

No. sir.

Mr. Liebeler.

Sights rifles and mounts scopes and things like that.

Mr. Davis.

No; I am not familiar with him.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether you have ever sighted in a rifle that has been boresighted at the Irving Sports Shop?

Mr. Davis.

No, sir; not offhand. We usually don't ask them where they sighted the guns in because it is not a good idea to run down any gunshop.

Mr. Liebeler.

Are you familiar with the area around Love Field?

Mr. Davis.

Fairly familiar with it; yes, sir.
