A Gun Club in 

 Your 



That's the 



HAND 

 TRAP 



It will give you all the facilities of 

 a regular Gun Club wherever you 

 may be. Ashore or afloat, it's 

 fascinating sport to shoot at "clays" 

 thrown from a Du Pont Hand 

 Trap. 



You'll find it's not just plain trapshooting. There is an added element of uncertainty 

 to Hand Trap shooting that makes it just about as exciting as field shooting. The Hand 

 Trap will throw an almost endless variety of targets. You're "some shooter" if you can 

 hit half of them. 



The Hand Trap weighs but seven pounds and folds up to fit in your suitcase with 

 targets and shells. If your dealer can't supply you, we will deliver postpaid for $4.00. 



Write for free booklets about trapshooting and use of 

 Hand Trap. Address Dept. 345-S, 530 Du Pont Bldg.

"Exhibit A." 



Recently we printed a cartoon on 

 the cover of the magazine showing bob- 

 white in a canary cage, in order to call 

 attention to the attempt which has been 

 made in some places to put our best game 

 bird on the song bird list. Farmers have 

 been urged to prohibit the shooting of 

 this bird on account of its being bene- 

 ficial to agriculture, but seldom are they 

 told that the birds can be made and kept 

 very plentiful and profitable provided 

 they be properly looked after and pro- 

 tected from their natural enemies. Shoot- 

 ing paradoxical as it may seem, can be 

 made to cause a rapid increase in the 

 -number of the quail and many can be 

 safely shot and sold every season. 



Recently the bag limit was nearly 

 doubled on Long Island, N. Y. The 

 quail shooting was very good last fall 

 and promises to be even better next sea- 

 son for the simple reason that the birds 



are properly looked after by sportsmen. 

 Recently we printed the story of one 

 of the Long Island shooting grounds 



Petitions have been circulated calling 

 for the prohibition of quail shooting on 

 Long Island and the enemies of sport 

 seem determined to add Long Island to 

 the list of places where the quail can 

 not be shot at any time. Should they 

 succeed it will be bad for the birds be- 

 cause no one will look after them. 



Long Island should remain a good 

 quail shooting ground in striking contrast 

 to the places where the birds can not be 

 shot at any time. 



We shall insist upon keeping Long 

 Island open as "Exhibit A" (as the law- 

 yers say) to be used in evidence when the 

 attempt is made to put bobwhite on the 

 song bird list in other states. 



More Game and Fewer Game Laws.
