much has been heard, has left for

The Brownsville club tournament

While dwelling on the subject OF
skeet, we might mention a few rec
ords hung UP recently. Bob Wade,
dean OF the Brownsville gunner5.
has broke 173 out Of ITS targets.
This is believed to be the best dore
in the valley. His scores were "a
25-25-25-24-25-24. While accom-
plishing this. the lank mechanic
broke 70 straight. o small ac-
complishment, ask Hurt Batsell.
John Rutledge. Buck Weaver or any
Of the other Va.le- skeeters.
Bob believes the remainder Of the
lead sprayers will agree with him
that the number Jour post is the
hardest shot on a Skeet field. There
the gunner gets a direct right and
left single. A difficulty the average
beginner has to overcome Is the
tendency to overshoot outgoing
birds. This Is the most common
cause of misses. 1t Is hard for the
neophytes to get under these birds.
