Shooting Will Begin on March 2I With Three
 Events Planned

At the Country club of Water- bury, there has sprung up an un- usual interest in trapshooting dur- ing the past six months, so much so that the club has decided to stage it's first trapshooting cham pionship which they plan to make an annual event.
 This event is scheduled to take place on Sunday, March 21, rain or shine, and t he committee in charge has prepared an excellent program for all trapshooting advo- cates of Waterbury and vicinity. A new automatic trap has been in- stalled and already we find guns are being cleaned and ammunition being inspected as the members begin preparation for these events.
 With the increasing number of shooters appearing at each weekly event, 1t is expected that well over fifty contestants will compete for the high gun honors. and the championship of each class. A spc- cial prize event will be staged for guests, and it is hoped that many of the leading trapshooters of the state will attend. The events will be decided in the following man. ner:
 1-Club Championship
 10 0targets-Scratch event. This event open to club members only. A handsome 31 inch silver cup will be the trophy which will have to be won three times for permanent possession. A smaller replica will be awarded to the champion for his immediate and permanent pos- session. F 2-Championship for Glass and
 Class B
 100 targets = Handicap event. This event open to club members only. The same target score made in the club championship event will be used to determine the club cham pionship for each class. Those contestants with no established handicap will have one assigned based on 50 to 100 targets, as de. termined by lot. A smaller replica of the large championship cup will be awarded for the permanent possession of the class A and class B winners.
 3--Turkey Shoot
 50 targets--Handicap event. This event open only to guests with or without established handicaps. Any contestant without an established handicap will have one assigned strings as determined by lot.
 The winner of the club cham pionship, as is customary in trap shooting events, will not be eligible for the class handicap trophies. In In1 sxo |, s,.t cap events, the individual score will be the broken targets plus the handicap. All "tie" scores will be decided by an additional string of 25 targets.
 No entrance fee will be charged for any of the above events, but each contestant will be charged for the targets, including shells, at the rate of $1.5O for each 25 tar gets. Shooting will commence promptly at 10 a. m. and 50 targets will be shot in the morning, fol- lowed by luncheon at theclub, and another 50 targets will be shot in the afternoon.
 Arrangements are being made by the club for the erection of q "sweet". field and as soon sthis is completed, sweet shoots will al- ternate with trapshooting on the club program. Plans are under way to register the club in the COnnecti- cut Trapshooting association, and this will mean that they will be in asposition to hold registered shoots in the near future.
 The committee in charge of this sport at the Country club is as follows: D. H. Madison, chair man; D. s. Futile, pr M. H. Beere. w. A. AmeIung.
