TRAPSHOOTERS

Success of Yankee Marksmen
Urges All to Train With
; the Rifle

Every man who has been drafted
and has not reported for duty should
waste no time in learning to shoot"
declares the veteran Captain A. H.
Hardy.
The government hasn't time to
make even accurate shots out of its
national army. If you have been
drafted and know nothing about the
shooting game, go to the, nearest
rlIle' revolver or gun club, and make
your wishes known, and you will al
ways find willing and competent in
structors ready to do their best to
aid YOU"
He also recommends trapshoot-
ing for the young American. he
cause at least it teaches to point the
gun, think and pull the trigger in
unison. If YOU have never fired a
gun the Captain advises trying the
little 22-caliber rifle first. You NAV
not learn about windage and recoil
from this but you get the essential
rudlments of accurate shooting; how
TO be careful and how to squeeze the
trigger off instead of jerking it.
Trapshooters at the front now are
having the time of their life, as
NASPe'NNAiSS bOlls accustomed TO hit
moving objects at varied angles. the
numbering Hun is an easy mark for
these experts. There was Private
Brooks, champion trapshooter and
particularly a squirrel shooter. of
Rich Hill, Mo-, who was leading a
patrol for information. He got IN
under an enemy machine gun twenty
feet away, at the edge of wood, and
silenced it. A grenade exploded in
his rifle, but he stuck it out all
night with a comrades rifle and
captured an enemy machine gun
thus preventing the Germans from
thanking him. Enemy rockets fell
so close that one blistered his hand,
Another famed marksman of the
traps, Private Charles Lloyd. of
Newark, N. J., was assigned to
smother a German machine gun
crew, 600 yards away With the
other volunteers killed off he
crawled 100 yards alone, started his
trusty shooting iron going and so
| expert was he in dropping the
elusive, fluttering birds in the days
gone by, that ,he accounted for
twenty Germans in as many minutes
and silenced the battery.
