THE TRAP. 
BEST CLAY-PIGEON GUN. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
May we ask the opinion of your readers (in answer to numerous 
inquiries received by us) as tothe best gun (irrespective of name of 
maker) adapted to break the Ligowsky clay-pigeon? Al. Bandle, of 
Cincinnati, writes: ‘‘In my experience at clay-bird shooting I haye 
come to the conelusion that a 10-zauge gun weighing from 914 to 10 
ounds. 30 to 32-ineh barrel, full choke, is about the best gun to use, 
The weight and lengthis a matter of choice, I prefer a 30-inch as it 
is easie-t to handle, and just as effective as a 32.°° 
J.B. Miller, of Cincinnati, writes: ‘My experience at the trap has 
tanght me that a 12-bore is not the size to use; a trap gun ought to be 
10-bore, 82-inch barrels, both barrels full choke, weight of gun 9% to 
10 pounds. Ido not thinkit necessary to have a gun weigh more 
than 10 pounds. I find that weight sufficiently heavy to stand the 
‘racket,’ as the saying is. One using alight gun is sure to shake it 
to pieces; again, a light 12-bore gun will not shoot up to the 10-bores 
atthe trap; ithas been tried and tried, but without success; but 
occasionally you will find a man who is satisfied that the 12-bore gun 
is plenty large enough for trap shooting.” _ 
A pronunent Ai shot ‘tAnonymous” writes: ‘‘For shooting at pigeons 
thrown from fourth notch, I prefer a 10-zauge gun, full taper choke, 
with either 30, 3) or 32-inch barrels, both bored alike. Weight of gun 
anywhere from nine to ten and one-half pounds would suit me; 
weight haying little to do with the shooter provided the gun is not too 
heavy at muzzle, or does not strain or tire the arm in handling. The 
weirht of the gun—in choosing for purchase—should be governed by 
the strength of the handler. Many advocates of the 12-gauge advance 
most excellent ideas relative to the hard hitting of their favorite 
ealiber, and they are justly entitled to full credit forall they advance 
in favor of their favorite; but all other things being equal, such as 
uantity of shot, skill, etc., i thinkit only fair to let the handler of 
the 12-nore ‘go in’ jlyd. ahead of the 12-bore, and even then I believe 
the 10-bore has an advantage over the 12. Occasionally we meet 
with an exceptionally hard hitting 12 gun, but notas a rule, hence the 
many sticklers for the No. 10 gun, Many experienced shots prefer 
the harrels choked nearly alike—full choke—but the barrel used as a 
second is required to throw closer than the first, and I think the idea 
an excellent one.” 
Ool. John M, Barbour, of Louisville, writes: ‘This is a difficult 
question to answer: but I will give you my opinion, formed from 
what I have witnessed at our tournament, For the average shooter 
I would say, at live birds, a 914 to_10-pound gun, 10-gauge, modified 
ehoke, 30-inch barrels, is the best: but for clay-pigeons, the same, but 
full choke. While I think this the most effective gun, I would like to 
see adoptedin America a rule limiting the gauge to 11-bore and 844 
pounds’ weight. This would put the small aud weak men on a more 
equal footing with the giants, who can handle a 12-pound gun as 
easily as the small man can hadje an 8-pound, and with his 6 or 7drs. 
of powder give little show to the 8-pound gun with ddrs. Ido hope 
we willnext year get a national convention to adopt a set of rules 
that will be acceptable to the clubs generally; rules for live-bird 
shooting, also for all target and wing-shooting, and I would gladly 
give my aid tofany moye in that direction. Suppose you make the 
moye? We expect to shoot the greab American Field Championship 
eup next year if birds can be procured, just as last year’s programme 
indicated,” LigowskY CLAY-PIGEON COMPANY.

NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. 
O* the second day of the New England Trap-Shooters’ Tournanient, 
on the grounds of the Boston Gun Club, at Wellington, Mass., 
nlmost all of the first day’s shooters remained to carry through the 
remaining part of the programme, The day, though fine, stilla good 
wind kept down and prevented many full scores; buta splendid day's 
sport was had, This is merely the beginning, and it augurs well for 
the future of this organization, the general good will evinced, and 
the evident determination which manifested itself everywhere that 
all would do their best to have the first shoot. a success.
