The Central New York League. 



Utica, N. Y., April 26.— Inclosed find scores of the second tourna- 

 ment of the Central New York Trap-Shooters' League, held here April 

 24 and 25. It was at first intended to hold the shoot May 1 and 2, but 

 owing to the enforced absence of many out-of-town shooters, the dates 

 were changed. Rochester again proved an easy winner, and it looks 

 as though they have a "lead pipe cinch" on the trophy. E. D. Fulford, 

 of this city, again carried off the honors for individual shooting, and 

 won honor as well as cash by his fine work. He shoots now exclu- 

 sively U. M. C. factory-loaded ammunition and E. G. powder. The 

 shooting was very hard, owing to a high wind and targets being 

 thrown exceptionally hard. Appended are scores:

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. 



J. J. B. — In Minnesota you will find good bass fishing in Aitkin 

 county, in the waters reached from Aitkin on the N. P. R. R.. Also 

 in Lake Sally, and others reached from Detroit City. 



H. G. N, Long Island City.— Will you please inform me through 

 your columns the make of a rifle that Mr. Alfred Bisson uses as illus- 

 trated in the issue of Feb. 10, 1894. Ans. A Winchester repeater, 

 .22cal., model 1890. 



Sportsman, Quebec. — I have been recommended by different sports- 

 men to oil my shot. Others laugh at the idea. Please let me know If 

 there is anything in it, and the reason and benefit of it. Ans. We do 

 not know of any possible advantage that could arise from oiling the 

 shot. 



Dr. Jks, Douglas, Wyo.— Is there any satisfactory method of meas- 

 uring one's self for a proper stock for a shotgun? Ans. Stand in 

 front of a mirror placed flat against a wall. Throw the gun into posi- 

 tion to aim. It is a fit if the gun always comes into position so that 

 you can see your eye just above the rib, and also the upper surface of 

 the rib. 



A. B. C, Chicago.— 1. Is there any hunting rifle manufactured in this 

 country using the new ,30,"same as adopted in Mannlicher or Jorgesson 

 rifle? 2. If not how soon will such be on the market? 3. What can 

 Mannlicher carbine be bought for? 4. And where? 5. What State will 

 be the best to settle in to live the life of a hunter for a number of 

 years? Ans. 1 and 2. Yes, the Winchester Company lists in their 

 new catalogue a single shot rifle for the U. S. Army .30 cartridge. 3. 

 We cannot say. 4. Berlin, Germany. 5. Probably some of the north- 

 western States. 



Ironton, O.— In reading over the rifle matches in your paper I wish 

 to ask you: 1. What caliber is the standard use? 2. What is the reg- 

 ulation distance? 3. Size of the targets? Answer in your query col- 

 umn in your next number. Ans. 1. Various calibers are used, the 

 .38-55 and .32-50 being most often seen. 2. 200yds. is the distance at 

 which most non-military, outdoor, shooting takes place. 3. Various 

 targets are used. The ring target, in vogue with German shooters, 

 has a black measuring 121n. (for 200yds.) and the entire target is 

 divided into circles %\n. apart, counting from 25 down. The standard 

 American target, which is more widely used, has an 8in. black and 

 counts from 10 down. 



C. F. W., New York.— Kindly tell me in the correspondents' column 

 of your valuable paper: 1. What is the flight of a duck, how far per 

 minute. 2. What kind of duck is the speediest, and (3) if there is any 

 other bird which can fly long distances in less time than a duck. 4. What 

 is the greatest distance known to be covered by a duck in a night. Ans? 

 1. Practically nothing is known about the speed at which birds fly. 

 The average flight of wild ducks has been guessed as 90 miles per hour. 

 Mr. Cross in his book gave the speed of certain species a' from 60 to 

 80 miles. 2. No one knows. The blackhead is a very swift flyer. 3. 

 The passenger pigeon has been said to fly at the rate from 70 to 100 

 miles. They have been killed in the Middle States with their crops 

 full of undigested rice, which must have been gathered in Georgia. 4. 

 We cannot answer, just think for yourself what it means. 



W. E., Newark, N. J.— 1. I would like some information in regard 

 to the fishing and shooting at or in the country surrounding Long 

 Lake, Hamilton county. I\. Y.? What kinds of fish are caught there 

 and are they very plentiful ; also the kind of game? How does it com- 

 pare in the amount of gpme to be found with the best game country 

 in New York State? Is there any duck shooting to be had on or near 

 Long Lake? 2. Are there any restrictions placed on the number of 

 deer one person may shoot in a season, and if so does it apply to a 

 resident as well as a non-resident of the county? Ans. 1. In the 

 immediate neighborhood of Long Lake is to be found some of the 

 best fishing and shooting in the Adirondacks. Long Lake affords 

 bass and pickerel, while brook trout are found in near-by waters. 

 Ducks are fairly abundant in season, and deer and small game are 

 plentiful. 2. No one is allowed to kill more than two deer during the 

 season. 



H. D. O, Brompton Falls, Can.— Would you please give directions 

 in your paper for making (1) standard American, and (2) German ring 

 targets for 100 and 200yds. off-hand? An answer would oblige many 

 persons, as there are a number of rifle cranks in this vicinity. Ans. 



1. The standard American target for 200yds., off-hand shooting, is 

 4x6ft. in size; with a black 8in. in diameter, within which are included 

 the 8, 9 and 10 circles. The diameter of the circles is as follows: 



10 circle 3.36in. 5 circle 19.68in. 



9 " 5.54in. 4 " 26in. 



8 " 8in. 3 " 34.22in. 



7 " ...illin. 2 " 46in. 



6 * 14.80in. 1 " Balance of target. 



2. The German ring target has a bullseye 12in. in diameter, and the 

 whole target, including the bullseye, is divided into circles Min. apart 

 (the center circle being lj^in. in diameter), counting from 25 down. 

 For 100yds. reduce the measurements given one-half.

It will give us great pleasure to forward a copy of our catalogue to any 

 one who "goes a-fishing." Some people charge for their catalogues, some 

 charge for the postage, some charge for both. We are more than willing to 

 give away our catalogues and prepay postage on them. No angler, after 

 looking at the catalogue, can resist buying from us or from our trade- 

 customers all the fishing-tackle he can afford to pay for. That is where we 

 get back a good deal more than cost of catalogue and postage.
