Missoula. April 22.-The Missoula
Rod and Gun club has completed the
#, programme for the state tournament
that is to be held in this city next
month The copy is now in the hands
of the printers and will be prepared for
circulation as soon as possible. The
programme provided for three days OF
the best sport ever offered to Montana
shooters and will attract general atten-
ton from all who are Interested In
gun matters. Secretary Cave has been
a busy man for the past two months
and the club has every reason to be
grateful to him for the interest that
he has shown i'm the matter. He has
been in conference by letter with the
leading shooters of the West and has
compiled the programme after having
obtained their opinion in the affair.
Mr.. Cave prefaces the regular pro-
gramme with some interesting notes
that will be appreciated by shooters.
He gives some of the general rules that
will govern the tournament and con-
cludes with the following: The fellow
who always keeps his squad waiting
will have to shoot bareneaded In the
next event" ANY fellow caught kick
ing will be taken to Fort Missoula and
forced to try conclusions with well
tried government mule" This shoot
will be on the dead square and every
shooter will be treated right"
Some of the general conditions of the
meeting are given as follows:
The events are open to all corners,
except the contests for state trophies,
which are limited to Montana shooters.
The programme will begin at 3
o'clock a. m. each day.
-. - ,In ANw4n IC
will be used
Unless otherwise specified. the Rose
system of scoring will be employed.
The official programme Is as given be-
low and will be followed exactly in all
events. 1t will be seen that 1t gives all
shooters a good show and as the Rose
system of scoring is to be used i'm all
events there will be an evener break
In the purses than ever before In this
state This system has been fully ex-
planned in the Standard and under it's
conditions IL is impossible for any man
10 shoot for place. The money is d.
vided according to the record made by
each man, no matter how many ties
there may be for any one place. IL is
not possible for a man in second place
TO get more money out of an event
than the man who beats him i'm the
shooting but who is tied with others
for first place. This will be the first
time that this system has been tried In
a state tournament in this state and
Il is believed that IL will be adopted by
the association after "a trial this year.
IL is by all odds the best system that
has yet been proposed. The following
is the programme as adopted by the
executive committees:
