SHOOTING MATCHES 



THE ^'EW YOBK TOUKNAMENl 



'Editor Forest and Stream: 



TiiG writer lias just returned from a visit to New 'i oik, aud ju lus 

 Veregrination'si was fortunate iu meeting a mimbci of the Long 

 Liliuid delegation, who made themselves so famous and ploasantlv 

 prominent at the SeHeca Ealls State shoot in June Xhey are all 

 erithusiaBtic, and every man is worliing like a bcavei Theie lb 

 Bcarcely any doubt but that the meeting of 1881 vfill bo the laigf at, 

 most atti'active and enjoyable of any ever held Pei-mit uie 

 through this medium to present to the State committee and Piem 

 dent Ci-ook a suggestion that Trill ren'der the event btill moio it 

 tractive. It is thi.s : Let all winners of prizes in pie™>ns coutests 

 he handicai^ped back five yards, more or less, iccrrdui„ to the 

 judgment of the committee, and it wiU then he of some encoiu 

 agement to tho.se of us who always weaken and lose hefoie sucb 

 cracks .is Newell, .Smith, Witmer, Crouch, Tompkins, Hookei, Hud- 

 son, Luther, Wmgert and West, et al. 



Tiiere can he no question regarding the propriety and lustice of 

 such a restrictiou, aud I trust the delegates and members of the 

 clubs of the association may give us through your columns their 

 views on the subject in exlenso. Another suggestion has been 

 made : Let the association offer a flrnt, second, third and fomdh 

 prize for the best retriever. Let entries he made by such owners 

 of eligible dogs as desire to, and let every bhd hit be retrieved, 

 thus kUhng two birds with one stone, satisfying the scruples of 

 Mr. Borgh, aud doing that which neither bench shows nor field 

 tiials fuUy a«comphsh. Es Gabde. 



Owners of valuable dogs will hardly wish to enter them for 

 pigeon retrieving, as this bad work for them. 



BoiAEV Teap Rules.— .Roc/jesfer. — Oar habit in this neighbor 

 hood of ball shooting from rotary traps is to call " Beady !" for the 

 puUor to Bet the trap in motion, and then " Pull '" for him to 

 spring the ti-ap. We are governed at present by Bogardus rules, 

 which were made for his ti'ape and uot for the improved rotaries, 

 and the.se, it seems to me, should be revised. In a recent match 

 here a man was challenged, and his ball, though broken, declared 

 lost by the judges on the gi-oimd that after stepping up to the 

 score, and before saying ready or pull, he had raised the gun abov e 

 his elLiow, not lioivfivcr to take aim. Some of us contended that a 

 man cannot be coutfidored at the score until he says Eoad\ ' When 

 a man takes his position at the score it often hapi ens th d the ball 

 falls from the trap, or the cord requnes wmdui., up aud what 

 more reasonaljle than that during this del n thi butt jf the puu 

 should be dropped under the arm as the m t n itm il md le tfiil 

 position ; but according to our judges (and in th stii t mtfi \n 

 tation of the Bogardus rides they seem to 1 c ii^lit i tbi c^nm t b 

 allowed. The sensible plan it seems would be to make i-ules as 

 iic.-ir a.i possible like those governing bird shoolmg from traps— re- 

 qiihe a man only to have his gun below his elbow at the woid Pull 

 and until the ball leaves the trap. Uudei the Bogardus rides it is 

 allowable to raise the gun to the shoulder at the wold 1 ull, aud 

 many take advantage of this. This is elearly wrong, as it is con 

 trary to the natm'al habits of iield shootiug where eeitainlv one 

 would not put his gun to his ehoidder before the bird leav es thi 

 ground. "Will the readers of Foeest am) Steeasi i>lease oive us 

 tlieir views of the interpretation of the Bogardus rides, and mfoim 

 ua whether there arc other and newer regulations govermngbiU 

 shooting from rotary traps. En Gapde
