"For Targets Only.'^ 
The fences, between Uie professional trap-shot and the nianiifae- 
turers' agents, on the one hand, and the fat tournament pastures 
on the bther, are constantly being built longer and tighter. The 
caitipaigner belonging to those classes may perhaps enter the 
pasture, but he must not graze. Managers of touraments are fast 
adopting prohibitory legislation as against the professional and 
agent which threatens to bar the latter from all profitable partici- 
pation in the toinnaments. It in a way goes further, and makes 
the professionals a source of , revenue. 1 lie latter class, in most 
instances -where a bar is raised, are not permitted to compete 
for any of the pm-ses, though they are permitted to join iti tlie 
shooting for "targets only," and further are granted the cheap 
privilege of displaying then- goods. 
It is no privilege to shoot for the ^rice of the targets. It is 
a purely commercial transaction. It is quite misleading to set 
such forth as being a privilege, or as being anything of a ma- 
teria! favor to the shooters in question. Stated simply, the clubs 
have tai-gets to sell, and it is no special favor to permit customers 
to buy. Many clubs are very glad to have shooters enter for 
the price of the targets only, if the shooters refuse to play other- 
wise. They pay for what they get, and it would under the cir- 
cumstances' be difficult to make the average shooter believe that 
he was the recipient of any favor. The whole matter is then a 
business proposition. If the club can throw targets costing less 
than 1 cent each for 2 or 3 cents each, the club thereby adds to 
its revenues at every shot. Whether the shooter be a professional 
or a novice, the result to the clubs' exchequers is the same. It 
is a profit in either inst.ance. 
But in respect to the professional, such is not a justifiable tax, 
for the reason that he confers much of material -value to the 
tournaments in general and in particular. There is a certain 
equitv in the matter as between the interests of tournaments 
and "the interests of professionals which tournament managers 
seem to overlook or to ignore. T^et us consider a few of the 
benefits which professionals confer. They are indispvUably a draw- 
ing card at a tournament even if they do not participate in the 
sweepstakes or other events which have prizes. The people at 
large are interested in seeing men who are champions, men who 
have defeated the best in the land, men who have records of 
victory, men who have achieved great fame. They are interested, 
further, in seeing these' experts perform, whether in exhibition 
events or in actual contests. All this is of material value to 
tournaments, but there are other benefits still more material. 
They do much to advertise and influence support for the_ tourna- 
ments while traveling from place to place pursuing their voca- 
tion. A favorite class to whom to look for advertising, and which 
is regularly solicited for it, is made up of the employers of 
these^same professionals who are so taxed for the privileges of 
displaying their goods practically. Such advertisements form a 
material source of revenue to tournament managers, and revenue' 
cheaply secured, for sueli advertisements are donations in every 
respect but the one in name. Local advertisers may secure some 
return from an advertisement in a club's programme, but the 
great mamifacturers look upon it as of no riiaterial value when 
the cost of it is considered. The outlay is a certainty; the 
return is vague, intangible, meager. One page of advertising 
at $10 or $20 a page does not amount to a large sum, but 100 or 
more pages taken by a dozen or more_ firms during the season 
amounts to a sum by no means insignificant. 
The agents represent these same firms, and for the favors that 
are given in the way of advertising and merchandise, for they 
are called on frequentlj' to donate the latter, something more than 
an empty privilege should be accorded. The cost of shooting 
at 150 or 200 targets a day at 2 or 3 cents each is quite an im- 
portant item to the professional. It is an expense which the 
latter will not long accept. It is an expense tor which he, from 
his standpoint, receives no adequate return. The privile-ge of 
paying $5 or $6 a day for targets and $-3 or more hotel bill is one 
which is empty of all advantage. His employers, moreover, may 
begin to study the matter of reciprocity. They contribute funds 
under the name of advertising, they give valuable merchandise 
prizes, they foster an incalculable good will toward the sport, 
and what is conceded in return under the new order of things? 
This is no plea to permit the professional shooters and manu- 
facturers' agents to have a part in the competition. That part 
has unmistakably been rejected by the public. Forest and 
Stream has been on record against it from the time the subject 
became a live question. But on the other hand the legislation 
against the professional class should not be carried to an unjust 
and an unnecessary length. The manufacturers' agents and the 
professional shooters should be treated with more consideration 
in the matter of privileges. They should be conceded somethin,^ 
substantial in the way of concession; something which is a privi- 
lege in fact as well as in name. The cost of targets to clubs is 
very little as compared with the receipts. They could throw free 
targets for the agents and professional shooters, or if a club felt 
too poor or felt that there should be a return of some kind, 
it could throw the targets at cost. In the latter case the club 
would lose nothing, and the agents would be in pai-t relieved 
from a very oppressive and unprofitable expense. .'\s shown above, 
this could not possibly be considered a gratuitous privilege. 
In the way of gathering revenue quickly for tournament purposes 
and club advancement, there is danger of a kind of professionalism 
in a way in club management, and it can be carried too far by the 
club as it can be by the individual. There is, furthermore, a cer- 
tain equity in these matters which may be lost sight of in a 
hasty and more or less prejudiced view in the readjustment of 
the trap-shooting policy of the country. Professionals are 
entitled to some courteous return for the direct benefits which 
they confer. In writing of manufacturers' agents in this con- 
nection, we consider them in their professional capacity only as 
it relates to the trap-shooting interests of the coimtry. Being 
able to shoot too well, there are certain very well grounded ob- 
jections to their participation in the contests at tournaments. 
That is the only objection. As men, they are a superior class — 
companionable, able, expert in their profession, and hard workers. 
JVlanagers of tournaments would do well to cultivate^ a policy 
which would influence the professionals to be present instead of 
one which is sure to drive them away sooner or later. 
The Interstate Association. 
The letter of Mr. Edward Banks, Secretary of The American 
E. C. & Schultze Powder Co., published in our issue of last week, 
defined the composition and purposes of the Association very 
frankly. While setting forth that it is a business venture, he, how- 
ever, did not deign to dwell on the benefits conferred to the shoot- 
ing public at large. It is but fair to touch on the advantages it 
confers. 
The stimulation to shooting interests throughout the whole 
country before, during and after the Grand American Handicap 
is shot off, is a direct benefit to the shooting public in general, 
since it stimulates an interest and a practice in a wholesome 
recreation, with a corresponding benefit to shooters and dealers 
everywhere. 
Nothing could be freer than the conditions which govern the 
Grand American Handicap. It is untrammeled by any trade re- 
strictions. The contestants are free to use any makes of guns, or 
powders, or wads, or shells, or shot, etc., that they choose. It mat- 
ters not what they use, they all stand on the same footing in the 
eyes of the Association; thus, while it is a business interest of the 
members of the Association, no trade interests govern the par- 
ticulars of the Handicap. In the conduct of the Interstate tourna- 
ment, no one who did not know the inside history of it would 
suspect that there were any trade interests involved in any way. 
They do not appear in it. It was not designed to promote trade 
interests directly. It was designed to be the biggest shoot in 
America, to have the approval of shooters, and thereby to have 
a general beneficent eflect on shooting interests. Those who are 
not members of the Association are gainers by its efforts in the 
stimulation and impetus given by it to shooting. 
The rapid growth of the fixture in value, in the number of its 
contestants, and in its prestige, is sufficient testimony to the 
wisdom of its builders. 
In theory and in practice it is the one event which affords a 
chance to "the greatest shooters of America to compete against 
each other on a scale broad enough to be considered international, 
where all meet on as equitable conditions as to handicaps as can 
be arranged by the best talent, where a purse of sufficient size and 
absolute guarantee is large enough in value to command the re- 
spect and effort of the contestants, and where a trophy of such 
additional value and such paramount significance commemorates 
the deeds and success of the victor. The names of the ten 
great manufacturers who compose the Association are a guarantee 
o-f the soundness, integrity and value of the great event. The lat- 
ter furthermore gains a prestige, both direct and reflected, under 
the Association's auspices, a difficult advantage for it to secure 
otherwise. Prestige and good will are a growth, even under the 
best conditions. Success and skill and fair dealing, through a longer 
or shorter period of time, always antedate prestige and good will. 
AS TO A WESTERN HANDICAP. 
There is no reason why the West cannot have a successful 
iJiandicap event. Ncrt .iiecessarily :a W.esfern handicap event, hut 
a handicap held in the West. There is a distinction and a differ- 
ence in the terms. There is no need of sectionalism, there is no 
legitimate reason for it, and there probably will be none cherished. 
THE WESTERN PRESS. 
The Western daily press, however, takes a very sectional and 
secessionist view of the matter. The Chicago Chronicle recently 
published this: 
"Prominent local trap-shooters received a proposition yesterday 
from an organization interested in the sport that if carried out will 
revolutionize the game around Chicago, place it on a more sub- 
stantial basis, and appreciably advance its prestige. It is proposed 
all the trap-shooting clubs in Cook county band themselves into 
one all-embracing organization, and this institution buy and equip 
grounds. 
"If the projectors' extreme plans are adopted Chicago will have 
a pigeon shooting rendezvous that will surpass in its appoint- 
ments anything of the sort ever before attempted. Elk wood Park, 
Long Branch, would be outdone. 
"The plans of the promoters are the outgrowth of the dissatis- 
faction that prevails among many Westerners over the recent 
trip to Elkwood Park and the award of money in the Grand Amcri- 
cari Handicap. It is said this disgruntled feeling has reached 
.such a height that Western men will never compete again in the 
East, therefore, and if possible to outstrip it in popularity are in- 
centives that will probably result in a favorable consideration of 
the scheme. 
"It has been often suggested to the jMterstate Association to 
favor Chicago with the choice of location for the big handicap 
event. It is thought the tournament should take place occasion- 
ally in some other State than New Jersey. Easterners, it is 
argued, are convinced they have control of the e-vent, and can run 
it prettv much as thev want to." 
The above is much in accord with the tone of the Western press 
publications on the subject since the handicap. It is more than 
likelv that "the plans of the promoters arc the outgrowth of the 
dissa'tisfactiou." etc., are not the plans of the liest representative 
shooters of the West. No enterprise, whose inspiring spirit is 
from spite, can succeed. There is room for a handicap in the West, 
but the shooters of the West should see that its odgin is not in 
resentment. 
AS TO SPLITS. 
It has also been set forth that the movement toward a Western 
handicap is a .split in the Interstate Association. Such is an 
error. There is no split whatever in the Association. If any 
shooter was dissatisfied or aggrieved, such was a personal matter 
strictly. If two or more were aggrieved, and pooled their griev- 
ances, there still was no split in the Association. Tbe contest^ 
ants entered as individuals, shot as individuals, and finished as 
individuals in the Grand American Handicap. When the handicap 
was ended, their otlicial relations with the Association ceased. If 
a gentleman has a grievance, he is likely to overvalue it -when 
he Imagines it is splitting things. , ,. 
However, the press reporls undoubtedly exaggerate the discon- 
tent, if such there be, though it would seem to be the prnocr pro- 
cedure for those who are misrepresented to repudiate the calumn-.ous 
publications. 
AS TO LOCATI01S1. 
The handicap being a private business venture, would as a 
sensible business business policy be held in such place as would 
be most convenient for the majority of the competitors. A line 
extending from Elkwood Park, N. J., to Pittsburg, would be 
the radiiis of a circle which would lake in about 75 per cent, oj 
the contestants in the Grand American Handicap, which would 
dispose of that question when tested by business reasons. 
The Interstate Association has no monopoly ol handicaps. Ihe 
more handicaps there are the better for its members. They are 
manufacturers first of all. If there were thousands of handicaps 
it would not excite their displeasure. The shootine interests then 
would be in such activitv that no Grand American Handicap would 
be needed as a stimulant or an advertisement. The world, more- 
over, is large enough for all. There is plenty of room for more 
tournaments, more handicaps, more shoots, each a matter of busi- 
ness to itself alone. 
THE SHOOTERS AND THE COMPASS. 
The shooters who attend the Grand American Handicap are not 
as a rule shooting for their health. When they are shooting they 
do so without a compass. They do not care a hang where the 
north, south, east or west may be. Shooters who live m the East 
would gladly attend a shoot held in the West if they could see that 
it was worth their while. So with shooters who live in the West 
or the North or the South in respect to any other section. Men 
often hurrah for fun or for emotional reasons, but when they 
shoot for money, they consult some well-known business proposi- 
tions, as is very proper they should when they are disbursing 
their own money. , , , 
A handicap or anv other business venture can only succeed 
when it is arranged "on sound and equitable business principles 
which are for giver and receiver alike. , 
It is to be hoped that the West will have a great handicap, that 
it will eclipse all records, that it will be conducted better than any 
which ever went before, and that it will continue the good work. 
From the shooters of the East it will receive praise and good will 
for such success if it can achieve it. 
Pigeons at Mempliis. 
Little Rock, Ark., April 28.— On Satutrday, April 23 the Mem- 
phis Gun Club held an invitation shoot, at which Drs. Brigier and 
Allies, Burnside, La. ; W. R. EUiston and Norton, Nashville, 
Tenn. ; A. Harris, Louisville, Ky. ; and H. L. Foote, Rolling 
Forks, Miss., were the guests of the occasion. Tlie club members 
also turned out in force, so that all told twenty-three shooters 
participated in the dift'ereiit events. 
The principal event of the day w'as a 15-bird race, $15 entrance, 
for the Laflin & Rand Powder Co. trophy. Naturally the most 
interest centered in this contest, which was spirited from start to 
finish, or rather until it was too late to shoot longer, at which 
juncture there were still three interested in the trophy. This 
event had nineteen entries, of which seven tied on 14 out of 15, 
no one being able to kill straight. It was decided to shoot the tie 
off in the next event, a 5-bird race, but this brought matters no 
nearer a conclusion, as all those interested killed straight. The 
miss-and-out style was then resorted to. The first one to lose 
out was Dr. Miles, on the 3d bird. Lie was in turn followed by 
y\llen and Duncan on their 7th birds, and they again in turn by 
Flarris on the 8th. Edrington, Neely and Frank still remained in 
and these, owing to the lateness, agreed to shoot it out at some 
future date. All of them are members of the local club. 
Of the visitors, Dr. Miles and Mr. Harris showed the best form, 
Harris coming nearest to killing straight in the main event, his 
14th bird going dead out of bounds. Abe Frank, as has been the 
case lately, had his nerve with him, losing but one bird out of 
38, and that was dead out of bounds. Abe attributes all his trouble 
of late to his new gun. Neely duplicated Frank's great shooting, 
scoring precisely the same total out of a like number of birds. All ' 
stood at 29yds. . , , . 
Edrington came next with a total of 43 out of 45. Tom Devine 
shot at 37 and accounted for 33 of these with his little 16-gauge. 
Singularly enough all his misses came in a bunch, a change of 
shells causing all his trouble. Poston shot well, though as us"ually 
recently unlucky, his misses occurring just at the wrong time. 
The weather conditions were not_ of the best, being dark and 
threatening, with a drizzling rain at intervals.

Boston Gun Cltib. 
Wellington, Mass., April 27. — Fourteen shooters found their 
way to Wellington to-day despite the lowering skies and a for- 
cible wind that struck terror to the hearts of all the company, 
more particularly those who knew of an added yard or two handi- 
cap, the penalty of winning a first, second or third prize m the 
previous series. 
The gale drove powder particles and card wadding directly back 
on the shooters, and with each one waiting with head averted for 
the storm to blow over, the shooting was somewhat slower than 
usual, though it is never particularly rapid. Regardless of all 
these drawbacks, some splendid shootiiig was put forth by three 
or four; two reaching even 90 per cent., which is clearly out of 
order on these grounds. , 
Sec'y G. F. Stevens and Capt. S. G, Miller, of the Haverhill, 
Mass., Gun Club, were visitors, whom all present were glad to 
meet. A more extended programme would have raised their 
percentages, as the final events found them becoming accu-stomed 
to the grounds. 
The ninth event -tvas atra.ng^& by request as a two-tnan team 
match, 30 targets. The scores footed Gordon and Woodruf? 28, 
Miller and Stevens 26. Miskay and Horace 26, Hollis and Spenccf 
25, Jack and Hooker 2'1.

Brocktoa Gun Club. ^'I!^ 
Brockton, Mass., April 30.— The second shoot ol our series was 
held lo-day on the grounds of the Brockton Gun Club. Consider- 
able shooting was done before and after the principal events, but I 
have only inclosed scores for the merchandise and watch charm 
eyents. Murdock, with a handicap of 4, and Barrett, with 3, were 
high with 24 each. In the watch charm event. Worthing was the 
winner, a? Le Roy withdrew after breaking 25 straight again. The 
wind kept the boys guessing all the time. The next shoot will be 
May 14.
