Trapshoofing Hints That
Should Benefit Beginners

Habits, unless they are good ones. are
bad things to form when it comes to
trapshooting, and very often little de-
tail overlooked at the start of a novice's
education viii prove a very serious han
dicap later on in the sport.
For instance, the proper position "at
the score"-which, by the way, is term
that describes the mark at which the
shooter stands when shooting at targets
may seem a mere detail II is. But
II is a far more important detail than
the average beginner realizes. IL must
be an easy and natural position. If it
is at all "stilted" or cramped il is only
logical that ones shooting ability will
certainly be handicapped.
Watch the expert shooter as he stands
at the score. Note the perfectly natural
position he assumes. There is nothing
to hinder or hamper his work. His atti-
tude is not strained or awkward. His
body is poised to swing easily from his
hips He is ready to meet any target
that is thrown and his gun swings free
and clear under every condition. I'm
consciously his very attitude allows for
every possible facility of motion. And
right here there is a lesson for the nov
ice. Watch the expert. Try and copy
his attitude. Start right and then there
will be no cause for regret in after
shoots.
Ones position at the score, of course
depends upon the individual whether he
is right or left-handed shooter. On the
whole, however, perhaps this hint may
not be amiss. In taking a position at
the score lean slightly forward, placing
the lett foot a little in advance jf the
right one. and letting the body rest
chiefly upon the left leg so as TO coun'
teract in a measure the shock of the
recoil. The left hand should be placed
well out on the barrel of the gun, but
not so far extended as to make the arm
straight and stiif-the right hand grip
ping the gun firmly at the grip" Ol
course, this applies only to the right
! handed shooter, but can readily be re
versed in the event of shooter who il
"south paw"
Now, as to the matter Of how th'
| butt of the gun should he held whel

sonal choice. still practically every eN
pert brings his gun to his shoulder an

chances are you will never catch up with
and smash the target. Use the sight to
discover whether the gun is properly
aligned when IN the shooting position
before you call "Pull" That is the time
when the sight is useful in clay pigeon
shooting. If you will remember the
axiom, "the hand follows the eye" and
that the hand out on the barrel does
the pointing, you will soon realize that
the most important thing to do viii be
to look at the right spot-in other words
look where YOU want to put the load
of shot ana your arm will soon learn to
put your nin in the position which will
insure yodr putting the shot just where
you war it to 60.
1t my seem rather peculiar to tell a
begnnf to disregard the sight on his
gun. But a moments consideration will
soon ,hstify this instruction.

ULLMAN HAS PLAN FOR

Local Organization Affiliated with Ma

by Many Enthusiasts.

''WaShinSton motorists can have an
automobile club that. in point of rem
dcrinS practical help and achieving de-
sired improved motoring conditions in

motor club in the world, if only L few
of them follow ,thc lead of a number OF
local autoists who called at \. \. A.
headquarters during the past week. and
indicate their pleasure in the matter"
This is the statement of William ILL.,
man. former editor of Motor News. who
is now connected with the American
Automobile Association. and who has al
ways been an ardent advocate Of a Dis
trict auto club that would be Of ma
terial assistance to the member.
With the national headquarters of the
4. \. 4. in Washington, a local club af
1liated with this body would have i'm
mediate access TO more touring Informal
ton of authentic character than. per-
hapS. any other motoring organization
in the country. The business of sign
posting the highways leading into and
out of the District and improving roads
leading to points Of interest would be
quickly accomplished under such. an ar
ranGement. Knowing this. and anxious
TO improve local conditions for local
motorists. well as for .hc benefit OF
visiting autoists who long ago had their
highways marked for the benefit of the
stranger, many prominent motorists
called upon Mr.. UlIman during the past
week to ascertain the possibilities Of
launching a District branch OF the A. A.

siastic over the idea and sisnified their
willingness to assist in every possible
way the formation of such 4 club.
To representative of The Herald Mr..

ready to back such venture. and that
many of the desired improvements in
