Ntt'W UTRECHT GUN CLUB. 
April IS.— This was rather an eventful afternoon for the New 
Utrecht Gun Club. The club was holding its regular bi-weekly target 
shoot at its target grounds, Second avenue and Eighty-sixth street, 
Brooklyn, and a fair attendance of members and guests were present. 
Among the Items on the card were a match between Capt. A. W. 
Money and A. A. Hegeman, the latter challenging Capt Money, the 
holder, for the New Utrecbt plate; thertub shoot at 25 targets per 
man, and the Hegeman prize shoot at 15 targets per man, as well as 
the shooting off of certain ties in the above events, which were sched- 
uled to be disposed of this afternoon. 
The target grounds have only recently been opened by the club, the 
trap house being an excellently designed one, solidly built and with 
plenty of room in it for the trappers to gee from one trap to the other. 
The first event shot this afternoon was a small match in which Adams 
and Edwards tried to defeat Capt. Money and Gaughen, but met de- 
feat by 1 break. Then came another 15-targ et event, followed by a 
10-target event to get Hegeman, who had just arrived, into trim for 
his match with Capt. Money. While the preliminaries for this match 
were being arranged, waves of heat were discovered rising 
from in front of the trap house. A rush was made for it and strong 
efforts were made to stamp out some of the excelsior packing from 
one of the target barrels which was burning in front of the house. 
Unfortunately there was not a bucket of water on the place, so the 
fire had its way, sweeping up to the trap house and takiDg hold 
of its dry hemlock boards in an incredibly short time. The fire was 
intensely hot, targets and dry lumber being just what it liked. Some 
idea of the rapidity with which the flames spread and the heat of the 
fire may be gathered from the fact that it was impossible to save 
more than the two end traps. Nos. 2, 3 and 4 went through the ordeal 
of Are, coming out with the loss of springs and rubbers, but otherwise 
apparently uninjured. Some of the lumber that formed the roof 
over Nos. 4 and 5 was torn off and saved, and although badly charred 
was transformed into a temporary screen over the two rescued traps 
just as soon as the fire had burned itself out. With two traps, un- 
known angles, the boys went on shooting until dark. Captain Money 
and Donley Deacon led the amateur Are brigade, the captain being in- 
defatigable in his efforts to save property. The Are started in all 
likelihood from a stump of one of the cigarettes with which the trapper 
boys were in the habit of solacing themselves. 
The scores made during the afternoon were as follows:

The Recoil in Firearms. 
The recoil in firearms is governed by the weight of ike weapon, the 
weight of the projectile and the initial velocity. It is also affected by 
a faulty cartridge chamber, unsuitable wadding material and 
especially by artificial resistance offered to the projectile in its pas- 
sage through the bore of the gun. 
According to this theory two powder charges, one consisting of a 
nitro compound, the other of black powder, fired Under precisely simi- 
lar conditions and producing similar initial velocities, ought to pro- 
duce similar recoil values. But we all know that suchis not the base. 
The recoil gauge and Our shoulder teach Us differently, Tbe former 
shows, that the recoil of the nitro charge is absolutely lighter than 
that of the u black powder charge; our shoulder teaches us that it is at 
least relatively so. Cause and effect relating to this phenomenon 
have thus far not been brought in harmony. While the effect could 
not be denied, opinions as to its cause havewidely differed. 
The ballistic experts of the London Field have explained this 
phenomenon by the difference in weight existing generally between 
the two powder charges; but they have failed to. substantiate their 
opinion with unimpeachable facts. Their theory has not proved 
convincing. They have evidently overlooked the fact that when two 
different propelling agents produce, under otherwise the same 
conditions, similar initial velocities, it does not by any means follow 
that the recoil values must be the same; much less that the effect of 
the recoil must manifest itself in a precisely similar manner. In 
order to arriye at something like a correct conclusion as to the cause 
and effect governing the recoil, we must analyze the process taking 
place in the gun after the powder charge is exploded, not only from a 
theoretical point of yiew, but also from a mechanical one. We must 
consider that the energy evolved by the gases is only partly absorbed 
by the velocity imparted to the projectile and the backward motion 
of the weapon, A portion of this energy is absorbed by temporary 
or permanent alterations and deformations brought about in the ma- 
terial of the gun, and that a smaller or larger portion of the uncon- 
sumed tension follows the projectile into the air, causing a reaction. 
This reaction again has a great influence upon the mass of the re- 
coil ; it increases the latter. 
The black powder burns, as a rtfe, slower than the nitro compound ; 
the tension remaining in the gun barrel after the projectile has quit 
the muzzle is greater with a slow-burning powder than with a quick- 
burning one, and hence this reaction assumes larger proportion and 
Its effect is more distinct with black powder than with nitro. This is 
one cause for the heavier recoil of the black powder charge, but not 
the only one. 
Admitted that the energy evolved by the gases exercises its power 
alike in both directions of the gun axis, we must bear in mind that the 
seat of this energy is nearer and in more direct contact with the pro- 
jectile than with the shooter"s shoulder. In order to reach the shoul- 
der the effect of the energy must pass several stations; it must be 
transmitted from part to part that it meets on its travel from the car- 
tridge chamber to the shoulder. These several parts, no matter how 
tightly they may be fitted together, do not represent one solid mass. 
Tbey are more or less elastic, and may serve as a Bort of a cushion be- 
tween the cartridge chamber and the shoulder. To transmit energy 
from one part to another time is required, and this time is lacking with 
the quick-burning nitro with its more sudden explosion. The recoil of 
the nitro appears more in the shape of a blow; that of the black pow- 
der in a more pushing manner. 
Now, let us place a number of glass bottles in a row close together 
and slowly push the front one in the direction of the others. The 
whole row will easily be set in motion, but when we try to accomplish 
the same result with a more sudden, violent blow, we will only suc- 
ceed in smashing the front bottle and one or two nearest to it without 
moving the rear ones from their places. The same experiment can 
be carried out with a number of balls made of soft clay. The front 
ball will not show much of a deformation if we push it gently, and 
all the balls will follow the impulse imparted to the front one; on the 
other hand, the front balls will show heavy deformations if pushed 
violently and suddenly, without imparting much of the blow to the 
rear balls in the row. In the gun the bottom of the case and the sev^- 
eral parts of the gun's action absorb the greater portion of a violent 
blow; they will absorb less if the force is exercised upon them 
slower. 
It is thus evident that the recoil of the nitro, the quicker burning 
powder, which evolves its gases faster than the black powder, does 
not give off to the air as large a volume of tension as the latter, is 
not only absolutely lighter than that of the black powder charge, but 
also relatively so far as the effect upon the shooter's shoulder is con- 
cerned. 
This superiority of the nitro is, of course, accompanied with a bad 
feature. The strain upon the breach of the gun and its action is nat- 
urally more severe with the smokeless propelling agent than with the 
black powder. Guns built for nitro powders must be made of the best 
material and the action must be especially strong. In the absence of 
these precautions a gun will sooner or later shoot loose and may 
prove a source of danger. The cheaper grades of shotguns are, as a 
rule, not suited for heavy charges of nitro powders. Those who can- 
not afford to buy a high grade gun, one made expressly for nitro 
powders, should use black powder only; or, at least, not be tempted 
to UBe such heavy loads of nitro powders as are frequently shot by 
shooters at the trap. Armin Tenner.

Missoula Rod and Gun Club. 
Missoula, Mont., April 12,— The weekly shoot was attended to-day 
by a dozen shooters, who showed that they are improving in the work 
This is encouraging and necessary if the club expects to hold its own 
during tbe tournament next month. By a streak of luck the secre- 
tary secured the right to wear the gold medal for a week the first 
time in the history of the club. L. L. Hunt will carry the silver medal 
until the next time.
