Frequently there come TO our desk
requests for information relative to the
starting Of trapshootlng club. and.
with the sport rapidly increasing in
popularity, q few helpful hints on this
topic win be Of interest to many Of
our readers.
While the big shootfest across the
pond has injured baseball and other
sports, it has helped trapshooting-and
trapshooting in turn has helped the
United States, for It has prepared many
young man for service on the firing
line.
Baseball has declined to such an ex-
tent that Il is doubtful If any leagues
lower than Glass A viii begin the 1915
season. This makes t imperative for
sporting writers TO advance other
branches Of sport for the beneft OF
their readers, and many Of them have
adopted trapshootlng-the sport allur-
ing. the patriotic sportc There are
now 46i0 gun clubs.
Getting down to first principles, the
start Of trapshooting club is no differ
ent from the start Of any other kind
Of a club. The chief factors are men
and equipment. Given a few enthusias-
tic lovers OF the scatter gun--men wko
are willing to throw themselves into
the spirit OF the thing-and any young
club is bound 10 be a winner.
Having gotten the boys together
and dec ded definitely upon a commmlt-
tee to look after things, the FIRST step
is TO locate your shooting grounds
This in itself seems exceedingly sim
pie, but a great deal Of serious thought
should be given TO the topic, for lt
must be remembered that trapshooting
demands space In the flrst place there
should be at least 250 to 800 yards dis
tsnce between firing line and any signs
OF habitaton This is considered to bt
the limit OF safety. Next accessibility
should be considered.
Have Grounds Within Easy Reach.
BY all means try TO locate your
grounds within easy reach. Be careful
about transportation facilities. Many
club has come 30 grief simply because
OF lack Of foresight on these details.
Having decided upon your site. the
next essential is equipment
