quite often happened that one OF tho
squads would finish long before the
other. II would hold them up for
quite some little while, az the squads
could not swing from one trap to
another until all the gunners had fin she'd
on their respective traps.
This year ] am going to divide the
squads into companies of Ave squads
each and shoot the companies together.
In this manner | should save several
hours in handling n big field. The first
company will be made up OF squads
Nos /. 2. 3. and 8. In the second
company will be squads Nos. 6. 7. 3, .
and 10. The next five squads will make
up the next company, and so on until
all squads have been put into COM
panies. At the start Of the shoot the
first four companies will take TO the
traps and will interchange at the end
OF the first string OF birds In this
manner we should facilitate matters and
save considerable time. I expect at least
200 gunners at Travers Island for the
amateur championship"
