FOREST AND STREAM, 
479 
Nebraska State Shoot. 
FIRST DAY^ TUESDAY. MAY 24. 
The weather here to-day is in marked contrast to that experi- 
enced at Kansas City last week. The sun is shining bright and 
there is just enougrh wind to make it j^leasant. Altogether it 
is a capital day for shooting, with all conditions favorable to good 
scores. The attendance is not large, only forty shooters partici- 
pating, though of this number twenty-nine shot through. 
The best shooting of the day was done by Powers and Heikes; 
each lost but 7 birds. Budd and Parmelee come next with 10 
misses chalked up against Iheni. Powers and Budd each made 
five straights to-day, while Budd made a run of 97, and Powers 
one of 84. Thirteen of the twenty-nine shooters who shot through 
all the events made an average of over 90 per cent. With such 
favorable conditions and everything working smoothly the pro- 
gramme was shot out by 3 o'clock. The programme consisted of 
ten 20-target events, and the score shows that there were no lucky 
holes to drop into. The best purse of the day was cut up by 
Powers and Fanning, who were the only ones to go straight in 
No. 3. Fanning shot in the last squad, and up to that time it 
looked as though Powers would get it alone.

WEDNESDAY, SECOND DAY. 
The principal feature of to-day's shooting is the extraordinary 
high averages put up by most of the participants. Probably in 
this respect it excels all other tournaments, as it is seldom that 
seven men will reach or e.xcel 95 per cent, on the same day. Leroy, 
Gilbert and Powers have an average of .975, Heikes .970, Budd 
.965, Grimm .960, and Elliott .950. There was always an abundance 
of straights made, and in this respect Powers and Gilbert lead 
with six each to their credit, Leroy having five. It seemed to 
make very little difference what hole one shot into, as on several 
occasions straight scores paid no better than 17 or 18. Powers 
made the best run of the day, 87 straight, which remained un- 
finished. The weather is again propitious, though a trifle warm. 
Forty-six participated to-day, and of this number thirty-one shot 
through. J. W. Den, M. Miller and Jake Crabill shot in but 
one event. The programme consisted of ten 20-target events.

THURSDAY, THIRD DAY. 
^ High averages and long runs are what characterized the shoot- 
ing. Never in all my experience have I seen anything to equal it. 
Gilbert by some kind of hard luck actually managed to miss two 
targets, and could only finish with 99 per cent. However, this is 
fortunately high, though for quite a while it looked as if Parmelee 
would tie this. He lost three targets in the last two events and 
had to be content with an average of .975. Heikes, Powers and 
Fulford have .970, Leroy .965, and Jim Elliott .960. These are 
the seven high ones, and ordinarily such shooting would carry 
off the honors at nine tournaments of ten. Parmelee made 
one run of 123; Powers one of 96, and Elliott one of 94, which 
remained unfinished. Once a squad composed of Fulford, Glover, 
Leroy, Heikes and Dickey scored 98 out of 100, all going straight 
but Dickey; and again later on this same squad scored 99, Dickey 
this time again being the offender. However, he hit this target 
hard, and quite a number say he broke it. Be this as it may, the 
returns show that 99 were actually scored by this squad, a record 
never surpassed. The loss occurred along toward the end, and was 
Dickey's 16th target. Twenty-eight men shot through to-day, and 
thirty-nine participated altogether, Peterson, Beard and Bill shoot- 
ing In but one event. The day dawned bright and clear, but by 
noon the sky became overcast, and several heavy showers fell dur- 
ing the shooting. At times the wind blew quite hard. The scores:

FOURTH DAY, FRIDAY. 
The averages to-day are in marked contrast 
previous three days. With the traps screwed up to the highest 
tension and the wind blowing a gale, it took some good steady 
shooting to remain at the top. As a natural result, straights paid 
well, and those who shot to the top got the most money. Grimm 
and Heikes are high with 95 per cent., which T regard as the 
best shooting of the entire tournament. As on all the other days, 
there was practically no wind, nor were the targets thrown so 
hard. Gilbert is third, Budd fourth and Ruble fifth. This is 
the first time that the latter has reached 90 per cent., and the 
shooting was much more difticult than on any of the other days, 
but this being the last day he cannot be taxed that fifty cents 
additional. There were a pair of foxy shooters from .the vicinity 
of the lakes that would miss their last birds with monotonous 
regularity, especially i£ there were any holes to drop into, and 
inv;u-iably at the close of each day they would be one or two birds 
shy of 90 per cent. What they need' is to be called down good 
and hard, and given to understand that this style of shooting would 
not be tolerated. T^he best way to handle this element is to make 
them shoot in the first squad. 
The weather to-day was dark and threatening, and there was a 
strong wind blowing. The open programme consisted of eight 
20-target events, and in addition to this the two State events 
were decided. The individual target and live-bird championships 
of the State being the ones on the schedule. Nason, Mack, Field, 
Nicholi, Sievers and Fogg shot in but one event. The scores:

TARGET CHAMPIONSHIP. 
This event was run off immediately after the open events were 
concluded. The conditions were 25 targets, unknown angles, 
entrance $3, 4 moneys, for gold medal emblematic of championship 
at targets. This resulted ina tiebetween Frank Parmelee, of Omaha, 
and W. S. Duer, of Hastings, on 24 breaks. The tie was shot off 
at the original number of birds, Parmelee winning, scoring 23 
to Duer's 22. For quite a Avhile it was a very interesting race, but 
Omaha's pet forged to the front and maintained the lead until 
the finish, Hastings' pride having to submit to the inevitable. 
However, the victor knew that he had had a game.

LIVE-BIRD CHAMPIONSHIP. 
There were nineteen entries in this event, of which number 
three- Smead, Loomis and J. W. Den— killed straight. Plumber 
losing his lest bird after he was confident that he would be in 
the tie. In the shoot-off Smead won bv killing 6 straight, making 
his total to win 21 straight. Loomis shot a good, strong race 
but lost out on a rather easy bird. Den slobbered his 4th bird' 
an incomer, and it fell dead out of bounds. Six men tied for 
second money, and they also shot it off, Duer and Nicholi finally 
winning by killing 20 straight in the tie. It took them that long 
to dispose of Parmelee, the latter not being willing to agree to a 
divide. Thus Duer evened up matters a bit, Parmelee having 
shot him out in the target event. The conditions of this event 
were 15 hve birds, .30yds., entrance $10, four moneys,' 40, SO 20 and 
10 per cent., class shooting. The birds were a fast 'lot, being strong 
and aided by a good wind. It took quick work to get them down 
and the winner put up a capital race. '

The Greenwood Shoot. 
At Greenwood, S. C. was held on May 23 and 24 one of the 
most enjoyable tournaments it has ever been the good fortune 
of the writer to attend. Messrs. Rice and McCants, it will be 
remembered, g.ave us last year a one day's shoot at pigeons whicli 
was so thoroughly enjoyed that we unanimously asked- for a re- 
petition, with an additional day as a double dose. Our request was 
granted, and too much cannot be said for the pluck and enterprise 
of these tvvo nervy young gentlemen, who, in spite of actual war 
and hard times staring them in the face, went ahead and brought 
to a successful conclusion one of the very best, if not the best, 
pigeon shooting events shot in the South in many, many years. 
When we consider that gun clubs throughout the country have 
been canceling their dates for merely target tournaments, where 
very little was at stake, because if the targets are not shot they 
can rest serenely in the barrels in which they are packed, we may 
well admire the courage of these Greenwood enthusiasts, who in- 
vested their money in buying pigeons, which of course would 
have turned out a dead loss to them had not their brother sports- 
men responded to the call. In view of what has happened it is 
pretty safe to predict that any tournament in the future scheduled 
at Greenwood will meet the hearty support of all those within 
leach who can possibly attend, for surely no one can participate 
in such an aft'air without carrying away the most pleasant recol- 
lections of Greenwood and its people, foremost among whom are 
the promoters and managers of these delightful tournaments. As 
to the birds, they were a very mixed lot. Some were simply 
scorchers, vide one U. M. C. Thomas drew, which left the trap 
at such a gait that no load unless by accident could have hoped to 
catch up to It. Last year the birds were much better, and it 
may be to the point to state that a tournament at this place would 
probably be better were it given in April, as then the weather 
would not be so much against birds which perforce must be 
cooped or housed for some time ahead. 
There was but one drawback to the whole affair, and one Which 
caused much comment and universal regret, in the fact that our 
good friend, ardent sportsman, splendid shot and popular favorite, 
Mr. Lowndes, of Flat Rock, N. C, could not attend. Business of 
a most important nature held him away, but to show his true 
appreciation of the sport and incidentally the stuff he is made of 
he generously contributed $-30, to be added to the handicap event. 
Actions speak louder than words. Remarks on such a deed 
are therefore superfluous. We one and all regretted Mr. Lowndes' 
absence, and hope most sincerely that next vear he will grace the 
field with his presence and delight us by his most brilliant 
shooting. 
Col. J. T. Anthony, so well known in the shooting world of 
America, repeated last year's performance and made the highest 
average on first day, losing but one pigeon out of all shot at. 
Ihe Colonel was under the weather at first, but seemed to pull 
himself together by that dauntless energy and pluck that so 
eminently characterize the warrior trap-shooter of the South 
The shooting of Mr. M. L. Rice on the second day was splendid, 
lo score 24 out of 25 mixed birds is quite a performance, especiallv 
after having lost the second one in this the big event. A more 
popular win could not have occurred, as we are all indebted to 
Messrs. Rice and McCants for the shoot. 
Capt. F. S. Evans was our referee, and a more conscientious 
man it would be impossible to secure for this arduous and thank- 
less task. 
Messrs. J. S. Parlow, W. P. Hall and Z. T. Cook acted as scorers, 
and gave entire satisfaction, handling the cash, and keeping correct 
tally ot the shots without a single error. 
In the matter of guns and loads there is but little to be said. 
Col. Anthony carried the honors on first day with a Titanic steel- 
barrel Parker pigeon gun, U. M. C. Trap shells and Schultze 
powder. 
On second day Mr. M. L. Rice won the handicap with a Bernard 
steel Parker gun, U. M. C. Trap shells and Du Pont powder, 
bo that the Parker gun again beat out the entire field, and that in 
the hands of strictly amateur shooting men.
