THE AMERICAN SHOOTING RULES. 



THE American Shooting Association after a year's experience 

 has made a thorough revision of its very complete code of 

 shooting, and in some respects the changes are of a radical sort 

 and generally in the direction of simplification, and to secure the 

 fairest results for all concerned. Without giving the entire list, 

 which any one may get in convenient pamphlet form by writing 

 to the Association at Room 184, Stewart Building, New York City, 

 it will suffice to point out paragraphs which have undergone 

 change. 



Rule 3, governing the duty of the referee, instead of saying that 

 he shall select one cartridge from a shooter at the score when 

 challenged by a contestant, and shall publicly test the same for 

 proper loading," the new rule reads: "He may at anv time select 

 one or more cartridges from those of a shooter at the score, and 

 must dp so when the. shooter is challenged by a contestant, and 

 he shall publicly test the same for proper loading." 



bright and mild, no delays occurred and about H 

 ground up between the hours of 3 and 5 o'clock. '

agement. Sec. 3. If the shooting is from traps to be pulled in 

 regular order, the shooter may refuse a bird from a trap not so 

 pulled; but if he shoots the result shall be scored. 



Rule 15, on " the rise," is entirely remodeled and magazine and 

 repeaters are given no speceial leeway of weights. The rule now 

 reads: 



Rule 15.— The Rise.— In single bird shooting the rise shall be 

 18yds. tor 10-bore guns, 10yds. for 12-hore gnus, 14yds. for 14 and 

 16- bo re guns. 13yds. for 20-bore guns. In double bird shooting the 

 rise shall be 16yds. for 10-bore guns, 14yds. for 12-bore guns 12yds 

 for 14 and 1fi-bore guns, 11yds. for 20-bore guns. 



Rule 16 now disposes of the weight question in short order as 

 follows: 



Rule 16.-Caliber and Weight of Gun.— No gun of larger caliber 

 than 10-bore shall be used, and the Aveight of all guns shall be 

 unlimited. 



The new rules qualify the charges of shot for the various cali- 

 bers of guns, and Rule 17 on loads now reads: 



Rule 17.— Loads.— Charges of powder unlimited. Charse of 

 shot tor 10-bore guns P40Z., for 12-bore guns l^oz.. for 14 and 16- 

 bore guns loz.. .20-bore guns %oz.. American Shooting Association 

 shot measure struck off. Any shooter using a larger quantity of 

 shot shall torreit his entrance money and rights in the match. 



Rule 19, as now amended, will dispose of a vast amount of 

 wrangling. There is no longer any ground for dispute about 



armpit ' or w elbow " or "shoulder," for the new rule reads: 



Rule 19.— Position of Gun.— Any the shooter may adopt. 



Rule 20, about being allowed another bird, was very loose in the 

 old rules, and the shooter was asked to act as judge against him- 

 self m case of a mishap. It read of old that another hird\vas to 

 be allowed: " A— For any defect in the gun or the load, causing a 

 miss-fire. B— For unintentional neglect to load his gun. C— For 

 unintentional neglect to cock a hammer gun. D— For uninten- 

 tional neglect to properly adjust the safety slide of a hammerless 

 gun. In the new set of rules the change reads as follows- 



Rule 20.— Allowing Another Bird (Known or Unknown Angles) 

 —Sec. 1. The shooter shall be allowed another bird for the follow- 

 ing reasons: A— For a bird broken by a trap. B— For anv defect 

 in the gun or load, causing a miss-fire. Sec. 2. When the shooting 

 is at known angles he shall have another bird from the same trap 

 but n the shooting is at unknown angles he shall have another 

 bird from an unknown trap, to be decided by the indicator, except 

 m case it be the last trap, when the sbooter has a right to know 

 which trap is to be sprung; in this case he shall have another bird 

 from same trap. 



In double bird shooting a short note of explanation is added the 

 rule, and in short it is explained to mean chat "A contestant must 

 shoot at two whole birds while both are in the air, and break or 

 rmss one with each barrel to have his score count, and the referee 

 shall be as prompt as possible in calling 'No birds,' and prevent 

 unnecessary shooting when a bird is broken by the trap." 



The Keystone system is adopted in ail its excellence ii 

 under the name of the "Rapid Firing System." A time 

 the closing of entries in Rule 21, which says: "No entry ou 

 accepted after the fifth man from the last, inclusive, fires his 

 first shot, except by the unanimous consent of the contestants." 



In the live bird rules other tfcan the general rules already men- 

 tioned, the most notable change is in the matter of boundary. In- 

 stead of the present semi-circle with a radius of 80yds. from the 

 score, the new rule and diagram stand as follows: 



Rule 10.— Boundary.— The boundary for both single and double 

 bird shooting shall he the segment of a 50yds. circle, and a dead

 center trap on a line from the shooter's score, and it shall termin- 

 ate where it joins the dead line, which shall be drawn at a dis- 

 tance of SOyds. from the center trap, and at right angles with a 

 line drawn from the shooter's score to the center trap. (See dia-

 straightaway bird, 60yds. to right quarterer. 58vds. to bird at right 

 angles, 48yds. to junction of circle and dead line 42yds. 



The rise is also overhauled and a status given to all gauges of 

 guns, and the 16-bore men will not now be compelled to toe the 

 same score with the 12-bore men. The new distances read: 30yds. 

 ror 10-bore guns, 28yds. for 12-bore guns, 26yda. for 14 and 16-bore 

 guns, and 25yds. for 20-bore guns. In doubles the distances stand: 

 2byds. for 10-bore guns, 24yds. for 12-bore guns, 22yds. for 14 and 

 16-bore guns, and 21yds. for 20-bore guns. 



ROCKAWAY POINT.-vThe regular monthly shoot of the Rock- 

 away Point Rod and Gun Club took place ou their grounds at 

 Rockaway Park which was a grand success, eleven out of twelve 

 ot the members facing the traps. The members ot the eluh are all 

 sportsmen, and like to fish and shoot, and have a very cozy little 

 club house situated on a piece of land six miles long," which thev 

 control and use as a game preserve, it having five or six good 

 ducking points on its hay shore, and which are prettv thoroughly

 P. F. banford, J. M. Taylor and John Claflin. The board have 

 resolved if possible to make these grounds more popular than 

 they have ever been, and as a sort of starter have ordered that 

 the price ot inanimate targets (Muerocks or Keystones) be re- 

 duced to Ss2 lor 100 bird ticket and §1.25 for 50 bird ticket; this is 

 the only expense to the shooter, the Association paving the 

 superintendent and trappers. It is hoped the response" to these 

 very liberal terms on the part of the public will he such that a 

 fair-sized 'tournament" will be in progress every Saturday. 



There will soon be all-day tournaments given, also live bird 

 shooting; in tact on last Saturday McMurchy and Fred Quimby 

 had a rattling good shoot at 20 live pigeons each. 



The shoot this afternoon was a very enjoyable affair, weather

LEONIA, N. J. Jan. 18.— A very interesting and exciting race 

 was shot here to-day ou our Leonia Gun Club ground. Messrs. 

 Oswald Von Lengerke and W W. Green had challenged Messrs. 

 J. R. Beam and Geo. VV. Gladwin to a friendly match at 50 

 Ligowsky clay-pigeons pel- man, to see who could break the most. 

 After half ot the match had been shot Messrs. Beam and Glad- 

 win were three birds ahead, but the pace they were going was too 

 tast for tnem, and they soon commenced to tumble. Mr. Gr°en 

 though a new shooter, shot remarkably well; he showed good 

 nerve; and the way he broke un the clay-mgeous was admired hv 

 every one on the ground: 3

 there are millions of ducks and quail here. I am going to take a 

 duck hunt m the morning. I am going to a private club on the 

 lake to-nigh^ and will take in the morning shoot, the temptation 

 was too great, I drove out to a small lake yesterday, it is only 

 Wa miles from ^the heart of the city and is in the corporation 

 limits. And I saw thousands of fowl. I have made the follow- 

 ing dates after leaving St. Louis: I would have arranged some 

 live bird contests, but could not procure good birds, especially in 

 New Orleans. At Memphis, the boys lay over one day and will 

 be given a shoot there on a private preserve. At Austin, Texas 

 they spend Sunday and will be entertained by the sportsmen of 

 this city. Here they are hound to have a royal time, then shoot 

 on Monday and am not to leave before Tuesday at 4:40 P.M so 

 they will be taken to the lake. 9 miles from here, and given a 

 duck shoot, others prefering it will go on a auail hunt. The route 

 as I have laid it out is as follows: After leaving St. Louis Mem- 

 phis, Jan. 31; fifth regular contest, New Orleans, Feb. 3; sixth 

 regular, Houston, Texas. Feb. 5: seventh regular, Dallas, Feb 6-
