TRAP AND FIELD
Rewards Are Greater In Trapshooting
 Than In Any Other Sport.

No other sport offers so many and so valuable rewards for skill as does trapshooting. And in no other sport can the novice so quickly rise to fame.
 Trophies. medals. prizes, etc, donat- ed by those interested in the sport, are within easy reach of the shooter who applies himself to the mastering of the principles of trapshooting.
 Ample opportunities are given by To- cal county and State shoots for the contestant to become known. As he ac- quires proficiency and gains in confi- dence, the trapshooter may look for ward to the time when he may bring himself and his club the honor of win ming the State championship, or sweep ing the field in the Grand American Handicap. In these meets the privilege of contesting for trophies and prizes is restricted to amateur shooters.
 The handicap regulations of the In terstate Association enable the less ex- perienced shooter to complete on equal terms with the best as the whole in tent and purpose of these rules is to equalize conditions. .,
