Scattered Shot Picked

By Peter P. Carney

There should be more competition
at double targets. This is real shoot
ing. yet the only competition lastfyear
was the event for the national cham.
pionship.
Two thousand three hundred and
and 2.934 shooters won the 1886 tro-
phies distributed by the American
Trapshooting association in the regis
tered tournament in 1918.

The Chester County Rod and Gun

idea is to have a country club with

1919 Trapshooting Plans
By Peter p. Carney.
Editor National Sports Syndicate.

E01tOf Na1On0l Sports SynQlc0te.
Sportsmen in general and trap
shooters in particular are very much
interested in the 1919 plans of. the
American Trapshooting association
formerly the Interstate Trapshooting
present for your consideration at this
, 1t is the purpose Of tho American
the work inaugurated by its p%redeces-
'sor; to broaden the scope OF its &C
tivities. and, by giving the amateur
trdpshooter a voice and vote in the
affairs that directly concern him, to
make the organization truly repre-
sentative Of all interests, all sections
ana all classes Of the shooting body.
+ New management brings new ideas.
the 1913 plans are vastly
different from those Of the past few
years. Take the registered tourna-
ment proposition for example. Here
tofore there has been no limit to the
number of tournaments given regis
tratioh. This year not more than 200
will be registered. Last year more
than 400 were given registration and
the year before more than 500:

registered tournaments, we were in
formed. is to raise the standard of
these events. We were informed by
one Of the members of the executive
committee of the A.. T. A. that there
was a great deal Of complaint in the
past that many clubs without proper
facilities for entertaining sportsmen,
and without trap and clubhouse
equipment. were awarded registered
tournaments. This the committee
says will not occur in the future. No
club will be granted registration un-
less it has proper facilities for hold
ing the events.
Applications for registered tourna-
ments must be filed on or before
April / with Stoney McLinn, man
ager, American Trapshooting %associa-
ton. No. 460 Fourth avenue, New
York.
Application for registration will on
ly be considered when made by clubs
which are. members Of their state as
ISOLATION. such applications must be
Endorsed by n of the officers Of the
state association. To each registered
tournament the American Trapshoot-
ing association will contribute n
}$25 trophy. .-
The association is opposed to pro-
|fonged tournaments, believing that
too much shooting is harmful to the
sport; therefore. one-day tourna-
ments will get preference. then two
day tournaments. The programs at
registered shoots shall not be less
than 100 targets. and not more thar
200 leach day, excepting in the case of
State Championship tournaments.
when on the first and second days
the program must not be less than

State Championship at 500 Targets.
At registered state championship
tournaments the classification of
shooters Will be encouraged by offer
ing prizes to the high guns in each
class. Where there are more than SO
amateur residents competing there
will be four trophies, under SO there
will be three trophies. The basis of
classification follows:
+ Four classes: A, 90 and over; B.
50 to 90; c, "a to So; ID, under 81.
Three classes: A, 80 and over; 8,
SIS to 50: c, under IS. /.
Thf State Trapshooting Champion
ship tournament for five years has
been decided on 100 targets. This
year the title will Sc decided on 800
targets, $50 On each Of the first two
days. How many targets these state
champions will shoot at to decide the
National Amateur Championship the
pt1ns do not say, but We take 1t for
granted that If the state title will be
decided on 800 targets. so will the
national title.
Instead of giving each state cham

lean Handicap $50 to aid in the pay

/ Canadian Champion is Eligible.
The champion of Canada is now
eligible to compete in the National
Amateur championship, witch we
suppose Will hereafter be known as
the championship Of America instead
of the United States. The Canadian
championship will be shot at the
Dominion Game Protective and Trap
shooting association tournament.
Long-run trophies will be provided
for competition in registered events.
Runs Of so to 80 will count one point.
100 to 149. three points, and $50 ar
over, five points. Runs will not car
~ over from one tournament to an
other. When a contestant has ac-
cumulated Is points he will receive a
trophy.
The states have been classified as
in former years according to the
trapshooting interest. and the state
championship tournaments will be
treated accordingly.
A state association to be recognized
must have a membership Of at least
five bona-fde and active gun clubs.
