SPORTING RIFLES AT CREEDMOOK.-Ecf/for Forest and

 short-range matches in tlie fall meet iiii^. In order to correct the 

 very natural mistake tliat ho has made, and that others may have 

 made also, I will state that, as is customary, ;i suiiplementarv pro-

 Forest and Stream: I notice a communicatioTi in your last issue 

 complaining of the terms of matches Nos. 6 and 10 in" the fall meet- 

 ing programme of this Association. It was not the intention of 

 the committee that drafted the programme to disalhjw cleaning 

 between sliots of the sporting rifle, but hy an oversight the 

 words "cleaning allowed for non-military rifles'' were omitted. 

 This will be rectified in the sup])lemcntary programme, which 

 will be issued in a few days.— John S. SnEPitEitD, Sec'y N. R. A.

TRAP-SHOOTING REFORM. 



Ediior Firrrst <ind Stream: 



iv It seems to me tliat some rule might be adopted whereby any 

 amateur shooier comcsring at the trap with a known professional 

 should lose his amateur standing. Perhaps tlic professionals ought 

 to be handicapped, but 1 tliink tlic class ot men wlio attend tour- 

 naments for the money to be made tliere Ihrougli tlicir skill, as 

 "Reformer" says, "cease to be sportsmen and become si3ortiag 

 men," and ought to be relegated to a class by themselves. They 

 have enjoyed a prolonged picnic at the expense of good-natured 

 amateurs who have been luayed for all they are worth and who 

 shotild now (to use a vulgarism) "take a tumble." MiLtAiua.

Editor Forest and Stream: 



I have noticed in your valuable paper some articles in regard to 

 "a much-needed reform in trap-shooting." 1 would like to see a 

 toui-namont gotten up and bar every good shot in the count ry from 

 shooting, and see how many shooters wonhl attend, and have it so 

 fixed that every man who was in attendance would win a "large 

 prize." It would look a little flat. It is the "good shots" that 

 keep up the interest in trap-shooting. This talk about "profes- 

 sional shots" taking all the money is all bosh. They do not do it. 

 When we have a tournament here, we want all to come and all 

 to shoot, and if one shoots better than another, let him liave the 

 prize and welcome. These shooters that are ahvays kickiiij^ alicut 

 "professionals" do but very httlc work and put very little money 

 into tournaments. If I have got to win prizes by "poor sliooting," 

 trap-shooting would be but little pleasure to me. J. G. Smith,

Editor Forest, and Sir earn: 



It is proposed to hold a tournament of the National Gun Associ- 

 ation on the grounds of the Boston Gim Club at Wellingttm, Mass., 

 during June, 1887, and in order to make this tournament a success 

 (with regard to the number of entries) the cnlraiice fees to the 

 sweepstakes will be much lo^^'cr than heretofore. The question 

 of ban-ing certain men and handicapping others has lieen sug- 

 gested, and I have endeavored to ascertain the opinions of some of 

 our shooters on tlie subject. At the recent two days tom-nament 

 in Worcester, Mass., there were between thirty and forty entries 

 in the sweepstakes and other events each day (notwithstanding 

 "Nor'east's" statement that our tournaments "cannot now com- 

 mand but a meagre attendance"). I read the letters which I had 

 received on the subject of barring to those present, and the pre- 

 vailing (I may almost say unanimous) opinion was to bar no one 

 and to handicap no one, that the men whom it was proposed to 

 bar were the very ones they wanted to come. They would be the 

 attraction, these great shots from the west and south, men who 

 can score 10(1 blue nicks straight and 99 out of 100 clay-pigeons, 

 double and single rises; these are the men who will draw a crowd. 

 Possibly they may down New England, but New England wants 

 to give them a chance. 



It maybe said that the men who have expressed themselves in 

 this manner are but a small number of the trap-shooters of New 

 England. If so, I say they were men of all grades of skill; some 

 coiild shoot well, sonie could not. They are the men who attend 

 our New England tournaments and stay and shoot through the 

 programme, vriu or lose. They can be counted on, and, further- 

 more, they constitute tlie backbone of the New England Trap- 

 Shooters' Association. 



As to handicapping, I think it is well known that a man may 

 .shoot well for a time and suddenly fall off for no apparent cause. 

 I give the ftillowing instances: Some three years ago W. S. Perry 

 ^vas considered the best trap-shot in New England, making high 

 scores at all tournaments he attended; but during the last two 

 years I do not believe he has won tifty cents on every dollar he has 

 put in as entrance to sweepstakes. AVlien I'erry let go, O. R. 

 Dickey came to the front, and for nearly a j car none of us could 

 beat him. When Dickey got tired, 1 had my turn, and for sLk 

 months I did the best shooting on record in New England. Some 

 four or five months ago I lost my grip entirely, and now Eager, 

 Davis and Stanton are at the top. Now, to handicap a man on his 

 record of last vear does not seem just. Should a tournament be 

 held where the handicap rule is to be enforced, let the shooters 

 be handicapped according to their record for the three months 

 preceding the tonrnament. 



As far as I am concerned, I do not care whether I am handi- 

 capped or not shooting as I am doing at present. At the recent 

 tournament at Worcester, Mass., I shot for two days at the regu- 

 lar distance and did not win anything. Had I stood back a few 

 yards I could not have done worse. 



Now as to trapping artificial targets. Do away with the screens 

 beMnd the traps; if not entirely, modiiy them; make them as they 

 are on the grounds of the Exeter, N. H., Club (where better trap- 

 ping is done than on any ground in New England). It does not 

 look well to see a wooden screen anywhere from four to six feet 

 high staring the shooter in the face, with the trapper poking his 

 bead around the end to see who is at the score. He may wish to 

 favor some one, it is in his power to do so. At Exeter a trench is 

 dug long enough to allow of five traps being used at the regular 

 distance apart. A plank of about a foot in width is fastened along 

 the edge of the trench toward the shooter. The dirt and gi-avel 

 from the trench is banked agaiust this plank, making a screen of
