336 TRAP SHOOTING. 



at the bird, or his gun is not properly loaded, 

 or does not go off, the bird is to be scored 

 lost. 



Eule 10. Should a bird that has been shot 

 be flying away, and a "scout" fires and brings 

 the bird down within the boundary, the referee 

 may, if satisfied the bird would not have fallen 

 by the gun of the shooter, order it to be 

 scored a lost bird; or, if satisfied the bird would 

 have fallen, may order it to be scored a dead 

 bird ; or, if in doubt on the subject, he may order 

 the shooter to shoot at another bird. 



Rule 11. A bird shot on the ground with the 

 first barrel is " no bird " ; but it may be shot on 

 the ground with second barrel if it has been 

 fired at with the first barrel while on the 

 wing. 



Rule 12. The shooter is bound at any time to 

 gather his bird, or depute some person to do so, 

 when called on by his opponent; but in so doing 

 he must not be assisted by any other, person, or 

 use any description of implement. Should the 

 shooter be any way baffled by his opponent, or 

 by any of the party shooting, he can claim another 

 bird, with the sanction of the referee. 



Rule 13. Shooting shall be from five traps.
