The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1910-06-27

Trap-shooting is fast becoming one of
the most popular of all outdoor sports,
since it combines a degree of skill and
accuracy Of eye, mind and hand almost
Simultaneous, and yet is without that
strenuous physical action essential in
other sports, such as boxing, rowing, ten
mis- or even golf.
The clay pigeon" presents a very small
target and to make a good score requires
a high degree of craftsmanship, and
q steady nerve.
Many men who are good shots afield
engage in trap-shooting during the closed
season on game for the practice it af-
fords them, and some of the best field
shots are also good trap shots, though
1t does not follow that a good trap
shot is a good shot in the field.
Birmingham has good reason to be
proud of its gun club composed as it
is of about 40 of the prominent business
men.
The club meets every Friday after
noon at the fair grounds where it has
three sets of traps and visitors are
always welcome whether they shoot or
come as spectators.
The club will hold a tournament on
July 26 and 81 at which time the annual
event for the Alabama state champion
ship will be contested and, as heretofore,
q big entry list is expected.
Entries to all events are confined to
amateurs but professionals may shoot
for targets only and usual the manu-
facturers of guns and ammunition will
send some of their best experts to dem
onstrate the excellence of their wares
by their scores in competition.
For the past week the local enthusiasts
have been eagerly watching the papers
for news from Chicago, where the ban
