TRAP SHOOTING.
A Game That Requires Skill Rather
than Sportsmanship.

II oieodhSys IA OAhSo6O
Trap-shooting Is an ancient pastime. and
honorable, so its devotees say. I have noted
its peculiarities for many years, and IL has
grown TO be an institution which is appar-
emily firmly fixed. Its various rules and
regulations now would fill volumes and its
technicalities can be considered competent
ly only by an expert. Ii Is not my purpose
to discuss by rule and law the so-called
sport of trap-shooting. but to give a gen
eral outline Of the anne and leave the judg-
ment to the reader. 1t is best called a
game, for IL does not require sportsman
ship but skill, as pin-pool or billiards re-
quires skill. A man can become a shark"
trap-shot without going into the woods or
fields for a day AT the same time II should
be borne In mind that many thoroughbred
sportsmen and crack field shots shoot at the
traps at both live birds and targets.
In the old days when i saw Bogardus,
Fred Erb. Andy Meaders and others shoot
at the traps, live birds meant wild pigeons.
Judy, OF st. Louis, furnished many hum
dreds Of live wild pigeons to the tourna-
ments and practice shoots In those days.
