Re Handicaps* 
The distance handicap inaugurated by the Interstate Asgoeiation 
at its Grand American Handicap at targets last week was a de- 
cided success in itself and an indicator of the true svstem of handi- 
capping in future competition. It is true that the distance handi- 
cap had been used in tournaments to the timorous extent of 14 to 
l&yds., which was practically no handicap at all. The Interstate 
Association was the first to have the courage and knowledge to 
institute a true handicap. This innovation in handicaps broadens 
out the scope of trapshooting in America and solves many prob- 
lems hitlicrto considered very complex as between experts, pro- 
fessionals, semi-experts and so-called amateurs, the latter term 
being used to designate a shooter of moderate skill rather than 
a shooter of an amateur character. Barring the manufacturers' 
agents and professionals did not in the least help the case of the 
weaker shooter, for there were so-called amateurs who were more 
skillful than the best professionals, and there were professionals 
who were no more skillful than the average amateur. It was an 
arbitrary distinction, based on false principles of competition— 
tliat is to say, suppressing a few good shots with the implication 
that such would benefit the many. Such suppression did not in 
the least benefit the weaker shots, but it did benefit the so-called 
best amateur shots, since it removed many of their equals from 
competition with them, and as between the so-called wolves and 
lambs, if the latter are to be skinned it matters not in the least 
after the skin is stripped whether it was done by an amateur, 
expert, wolf or professional expert vrolf. 
The new system of handicapping from 14 to 25yds. solves all the 
problems so far as they are capable of solution, and so far as 
practical nsefuln-ess is concerned so far as they need be. 
In the matter of handicaps Forest and Stream takes credit to 
itself for indicating the advantages of a handicap many months 
ago, when some very experienced shooters considered a liandicap 
at a tournament as being among the impossibilities. The recent 
tournament proved that it not only is possible, but that it is not 
in the least difficult. 
On the subject of handicaps in 1S98 Forest and Stream pub- 
lished, the following under the title of "Canfabulations of the 
Cadi": 
Aug. 1-3. — ^Dbn't you think that the 70 per cent, men then would 
object to the 80 per cent, men, same as the 80 per cent, men now 
object to the 00 per cent, men? The real difference is in the 
relative skill of the individuals, and not in the name of the class, 
for the term amateur may mean expert or novice. If the men who 
were better shots than 80 per cent, were all ruled out the SO per 
cent, men then would be the experts, and the same relative position 
to the rest would then be held by them that the 90 per cent, men 
hold now. You object to being beaten by the 90 per cent, men, yet 
you take great satisfaction yourself in beating the men who shoot at 
a less degree of skill than yourself. You claim that you shoot for 
sport, tfiough putting up your money in manner like to that of the 
professional, also shooting like unto him, yet talking meanwhile 
much of sport in theory, while your center of efl'ort is around the 
money in yc-ur practice. While losing your money to a better shot 
than yourself on the one hand and complaining thereat, you do 
the same thing to a shot weaker than yourself and are joyous 
thereat. The term lamb is a misnomer, for the lamb looks different 
and acts differently from the wolf, and most of all it does not in- 
vade the wolf's range and deliberately enter into a struggle with 
him. You are not a different species. You are all pleasant, amiable 
wolves, differing in size, teeth — some big, some little, but all with 
more or less of the commendable purpose of succeeding as much 
as possible witliin the true limits of the sport. 
Sept. 3. — I recognize the difficulties with which at the present 
day the novice is confronted in his endeavors to acquire a reason- 
able proficiency in skill or to become an expert; diihculties which 
multiply with each passing year, owing to the greater number of 
experts or semi-experts who are graduated, and with whom to a 
certain extent he comes in competition. Each year the general 
standard of skill necessary to even partial success becomes higher. 
Now, all of us, from the experts down to the common shots, could 
shoot together harmoniously and advantageously if we would adopt 
a system of handicapping. As for the novice, I" do not tonsider 
him; for trapshooting at tournaments is not a primary school for 
the education of beginners. All sports involving competition pre- 
suppose a reasonable degree of training in the contestants. They 
do not offer premiums on incompetency, but, on the contrary, are 
devised to perfect to the highest degree the abilities of their dev- 
otees. The expert and semi-expert do not much favor a handicap, 
since their trips to . the cashier's office are fewer and less interest- 
ing. There are some amateurs who, though shooting badly, think 
is "plucky" or "game" to enter every sweep against all experts 
who may be against them; but the best gameness is that which is 
reasonably tempered with good sense. 
In the end the handicap system must be adopted. 
Oct. 1. — Well, if I grant that — which I do not — tell me why the 
men who rate at a less per cent, than your 80 per cent, man should 
be arbitrarily taxed a fixed amount to go to the men who can win 
regularly. And tell me why nearly all programmes are arranged so 
that the man of 80 per cent, and less has hardly any show to win 
anything. A 10-target event is about his onh^ chance. Three 
monej'S would just let him in for third. In a 15-target event the 80 
pel- cent, man breaks 12, and if there are only three moneys he is 
out of tlie money then entirely. If it is a 20-target event the man 
aforesaid gets 16, and he is out of the money even if there are four 
moneys. And you must also keep in mind that in nearly all tour- 
naments the poor shots are expected and required to stand on even 
terms with the best crackajacks that the country can produce. We 
concoct different systems to win the admiration of the so-called 
amateur. The systems generally apply to some division of the 
money, and not to any equitable adjustment of the competition. 
You must give the poorer shots a handicap if you expect them 
to play in your yarci, for the day when this neck of the woods 
abounded in what is commonly called "suckers" is gone forever. 
In that day a learned friend once told me that the theory of the 
crackajack was that 
" 'Tis music to the gambler's ears 
To hear the sucker moan," 
and yet most men are slow to perceive that the "sucker" as an 
economic factor no longer exists. His education has been vigor- 
ous, costly and heroic, and he is wise in his day, as is becoming 
a man who can profit by a few thousand calamities. 
My opinion is that such clubs as ours, which add money merely 
as a prextet to rake off a percentage so large that it is beyond all 
reason when compared with the service rendered, are a detriment to 
the sport, and if they held no tournaments the shooting world 
Avould thereby be a gainer. Added mone}' which is so placed that 
it augments the winnings of shooters who are already chief winners, 
makes the competition too expensive for the average shooter. The 
meager winnings of the latter have a percentage deducted for the 
advantage of the best shots, and the added money which is sub- 
tracted gives a pretext for raising prices. Understand distinctly, 
however, mat all clubs which add money are not running the 
tournament with the ulterior purpose of getting the shooter's 
money into the club coffers. Some clubs add $5 or $10 to each 
event, charging only the ordinary price for targets; and in every 
way but the right way— that is a handicap— protecting the rights 
of all the shooters. What I have said in no wise reflects on such 
clubs. 
Oct. 8.— The whole trapshooting world has been run without any 
central governing body, and each club which gave a tournament 
adopted such policv as seemed best for its own immediate success, 
without anv consideration whatever as to amateur and professional; 
or if it did so consider, it was for the expediency of the moment 
in the success of its own affairs and not from any consideration of 
the general good. It is said that the principles governing amateur 
and professional competitions respectively are not applicable to 
trapshooting, the conditions being so different. What makes the 
different conditions? Sport is sport everywhere, if it is sport. Ihe 
principles of sport are alike in all sports. The trouble lies, hov/- 
ever in the fact that there never has been any real general classi- 
fication as between amateur and professional in trapshooting. 
Under anv recognized ruling as to what constitutes a professional, 
nearlv ev'erv trapshooter m the United Stales is a professional. 
Nearly evei-y one has shot in an open public competition for 
money; nearlv every one has competed in public contests for 
money with professionals, and not a few have shot on public 
grounds where gate money is charged. 
A gentleman who shoots merely for sport can shoot for sport 
within the gates of his own club grounds. He can at other times, 
and in other places shoot for targets only if he really desires sport. 
When you go to a baseball game, horse race, athletic games or a 
circus, you buy your ticket and witness the sport from your seat. 
Ycu need not actually participate in the game to have your sport. 
When you put your money in a public competition yoti are then 
doine precisely' whp.t the professional is doing. The difference 
between you and a manufacturer's agent is one of degree and not 
of kind; you simply do part of the time what he does all the time. 
It matters liot if a shooter have a million dollars income, more or 
Igcs- -when he enter" a public competition for monev and shoots 
for monev apainst all comers, he is to all intents and purpo.se.>; n

at all, and this UJider any ruling of sport wherein the ainatetir is 
really distinguished from the professional. Let us apply your line 
of reasoning to other sports as to amateur and professional, and 
all then are amateurs in like manner to your trapshooters. The 
wealthy trapshooter who shoots for sport when he can shoot for 
money generally looks very closely after the money features of the 
shoot, same as do other shooters. He usually keeps a score card, 
recordiflg thereon what he shot at, what he broke, what he paid in 
and whan he won, but never the amount of sport which he has had. 
He adds his winnings to his revenues as an integral part of them, 
and when he pays his bills the aforesaid winnings go just as far, 
dollar for dollar, in making his livelihood as do the dollars which 
he has earned or made otherwise. A man can be a professional in 
many things at the same time; a butcher, a baker, a candlestick 
maker. 
Oct. 22. — The poorer shots have faced the traps on equal terms 
with the experts through many years, and have had the lessons of 
adversity well pounded into them. We should congratulate otir- 
sclves that trapshooting is on such a good footing as it is. Its 
present condition really speaks well for the genuine enthusiasm of 
those who still support it. However, if we continue on the old 
lines, we cannot hope for any success greater than that which ob- 
tains at present. If the future is to be made prosperous in the trap- 
shooting world, the conditions should be changed so that all will 
have an even chance, and this can be done by establishing a system 
of handicaps. 
Nov, 19. — "I think we might try some kind of a handicap which 
didn't make^ much change; for instance, place the professional ama- 
teurs — that is, the novices — at 14yds., the semi-experts at 16yds., and 
the experts at ISyds. AVhat do you think of that. Cadi?" Moke 
queried. 
'*! don't think that makes much difference," the Cadi replied, 
"The average expert, after firing a few shots to get the range, will 
smash targets at 18yds. about as well as he will at 16. The differ- 
ence is not sufficient to add to the difficulties of his shooting to 
any appreciable extent, hence it practically amounts to nothing as 
a handicap. On the other hand, the novice, who cannot break 
targets at 16yds., cannot break them at 14. The mere change of 
a yard or two in distance in no wise compensates for the latter's 
lack of skill. There will be very little difference in the scores 
of a number of men, all standing at 16yds., when compared with 
scores made when they are divided up, some men standing at 
1-lyds., some and 16yds., and others at 18yds. On the other hand, 
all the men who classed as experts at the 16yd. mark cannot be 
put back to the same distance, since some are slower .shots than 
others, and the slower ones would not need to be set back far 
betore the gun is handicapped instead of the man. 
"If you give each one of the weaker shooters a certain number 
of extra targets to shoot at, you then give no handicap at all. 
You merely give the shooter an opportunity to obtain a handicap, 
but then the handicap is contingent on his ability to take ad- 
vantage of the opportunity. Thus, two shooters whose shooting 
averaged alike might have five extra targets to shoot at in a cer- 
tain event. One might break the five; the other might miss the 
five; thus cue had a handicap of five and the other, as it turned 
out, had no handicap at all. The handicap should be an arbitrary 
fixed quantity. If five is to be given, let five misses count as 
five breaks. Give a handicap in reality." 
Paul North in England. 
London, England, June 13. — Editor Forest and Stream: Through 
the invitation of Mr. Frank Hall, of the Cartaret Gun Club, New 
York, I went to the Gun Club last Saturdav to see the shooting 
on that famous ground. Mr. Hall and Mr. C. S. Guthrie, of Pitts- 
burg, were the only American.s shooting, and they acquitted Jhem- 
selves very creditably. Mr. Guthrie has been "shooting at iboth 
the Gun and Hurlingham clubs for the past two months, and has 
won many cups, and has done some very fine work. 
The Gun Club grounds are beautifully laid out, and entirely strr- 
rounded by a high stone wall and provided with every possible 
convenience for the use of the members. A cozy club house, with 
a comfortable lunch room, where anything to eat or drink can be 
had, occupies one side of the ground, and has a wide, covered! 
veranda for the use of the members and spectators. Most of tlie- 
shooting is miss-and-out, except the larger cup events, which are: 
7 and lO bird events, but are also practically miss-and-outs. 
All events are shot down to two, and in cup events the money- 
is then divided, and then the ownership of the cup is decided by a 
shoot-off. 
Everything is done on the most expensive scale, and one must, 
certainly have a long purse or be a most excellent shot to keep ini 
the game. 
All the prominent gun makers, such as Boss, Purdey, Churchill,, 
have their men on the grounds, and they look after the guns and 
cartridges of the men who shoot their respective guns. 
They take the guns to and from the grounds, hand the guns andl 
cartridges to the shooters when they step to the score, and take: 
the guns and put them in the racks after the shot is fired. 
The scoring and pulling arrangements are very complete, and! 
dogs do the retrieving. One of the dogs was a greyhound, and he 
did excellent work. 
As for the birds, they are far and away faster than our birds, so 
much so that there is hardly any comparison. They are in most 
every case drivers, and fly low along the ground. 
Wagers are made on every bird trapped, and the best odds laid 
on the gun are 4 to 1, which gives a good idea as to the birds. 
The highest single wager was one of £100 to £25, and it was a 
losing one, as the bird got away. 
The shooting is slow, as there is always time given for wagers 
to be made before each shot. 
Taking it all in all, the impression gained is that the betting 
feature far outweighs any other, and with that eliminated there 
would be but little shooting in comparison to the amount done at 
the present time. 
During the week of June 4 to 9 I had the pleasure of managing 
the annual tournament of the Inanimate Bird Shooting Association, 
and it was a very strange experience in some respects, and a 
pleasant one in others. 
The tournament lasted five days, and the programme called for 
six events per day of 10 birds each, and while there were only 
about thirty entries on an average it took hard work to finish 
the programme each day. 
The trapping arrangements were a sight to behold, and con- 
sisted of a pit 50yds. long, with a battery of thirty traps in ten 
groups of three traps each. Two pullers and seven trappers were 
used, and about 3,000 targets trapped a day. 
It seemed useless to tell them that three traps, two trappers and 
one puller would do more work at less than half the expense. 
Shooting was done m squads of eleven men, and it was harder 
work to get a squad on the line than to hustle for an entire day 
at an American tournament. They do not want to be hurried, and 
will not be, and with but one or two exceptions were never ready 
when wanted. 
I could not get them to enter for one event till the previous one 
had been finished, and all wanted to shoot in the second squad, 
and in consequence that sheet was always filled before squad No. 1. 
It always took more time to get a squad on the line than to have 
them shoot the event, and about as much or more time was con- 
sumed between events than in completing it after it was started. 
About ten or fifteen times as much monej' is spent in expenses — 
useless ones — as at an American tournament, and about one-third 
as much shooting is done. 
Shooting was practically all on the high gun system, and a 
straight was necessary to get a place. 
The ordinary shot is not catered to at all, and in consequence 
the attendance is very small in view of the many very elegant 
and beautiful prizes given. 
Both barrels are used in single-bird shooting. The birds are 
thrown high and fast, and at ISyds. rise. There were some very 
good shots, and under the conditions good scores are made. 
Richard Merrill, of Milwaukee, was present, and won several 
cups and other prizes; although he had not been doing any target 
shooting for a year he found the olace after the first day or two 
and made some very good runs. He ran 71 straight on overhead 
birds from the 90ft. tower, and a run of 40 on the regular traps. 
Saturday was the great day, and the championship event was 
shot off in the afternoon. This event was at 20 targets down the 
line, 6 from the tower and 6 unk-nown traps and angles from the 
middle position, or No. 3 score. 
Mr. Merrill was the favorite from the start, and after the first 
26 he had a score of 25. leading all by one or more birds; but in 
the final 6 he had hard luck and lost 3. finishing with 28. One 
of the twenty-four men, Mr. Ellicott, broke the last 6 and finished 
with .30 out of 32, and won. 
The pleasantest feature of the meet was the presentation of prizes, 
which ceremoney was performed In the large dining tent. A great 
many ladies were present, and Sir John Hutton, after a very good 
speech, prrsen^ed Hie prizes to the winners. 
When Mr. Merrill was called up for his first prize the '-heering 
was very heartv, and it increased on the second, and rin thr- t'^'-r' 
"'ivt;* reached an uproar. After the prizes v-ie. all i^'ven Mvf

done it. ' 
In spite of the fact that I had hustled, or, as they call jt> "bustletil 
them about" harder than they had even been before, the shooters 
insisted upon a speech from me and followed it up by demanding 
one from Merrill, who responded in a few neatly worded sentiments 
in which he expressed the feelings we both had that we had been 
treated in that true sportsmanlike manner of which British sports- 
men are so justly proiid^ ^ Paul Nokib,. 
New Rival Gun Club* 
MARI0^', Ind., June 18.— Inclosed find scores made at the touna- 
ment of the New Rival Gun Club on June 12, 13 and 14. The 
weather was something grand for trapshooting. Although the 
attendance was small, nevertheless every shooter had a good time 
and said he would return again in the spring of next vear. The 
birds were the best they had shot at for a long tinie. Good- 
natured Jack Parker, our" manager, made some very fine kills, and 
not only that, but he left an impression on the minds of the 
-shooters that he is a hustler, and his visit to our citv shall never 
be forgotten, and the result in the future will be 'gratifying to 
Mes.srs. Parker Brothers, Peters and King.

Boston Gun Club. 
AV. W. G. 
Wkllington. Mass.— The Boston Gun Club used its twenty- 
second 1900 date (June 20) to good advantage, excellent weather 
and good attendance combining to make a very comfortable after- 
noon shoot. 
A 21yd. man divided the honors in the prize match with a 16yd. 
shooter, thus equalizing almost the two extreme handicap marks, 
ihis IS as It should be. and but further illustrates the efficacy of 
the one fair, equitable handicap for trapshooting. 
Our 14yri. enthusiast would render a better account of himself 
could he discard his uncomfortable habit of flinching. The auto- 
matic conditions of modern trap work encourage this habit to a 
marked degree in a number of cases. Spontaneity of action is 
shown to help this particular shooter, as his work in field with 
gun below the elbow and the bird going- from trap anv old time 
IS of higher percentage almost invariably. With gun t"o shoulder 
and target subject to his own command he flinches and halts, 
judges and hesitates until target, confidence and good resolutions 
alike are lost. In the field events, which now form an attractive 
portion of these Wednesday meetings, to his mind's eye it is a 
partridge or quail that he must be ready for, and his thoughts are 
arrayed against living objects, not mechanical cootrivances, thus 
losing much of that studied preparation noticeable in all inani- 
mate practice nowadays. 
Because a target or two more out of the 100 is possible with 
gun held to .shoulder, the graceful motion of placing the gun at 
the word "Pull" is left wholly for the field and marsh, where the 
shooter never thinks of poking along with his weapon extended 
and adjusted exactly to eve and arm. The complaint often heard 
that practice at the trap is of but little service for field shooting 
has some foundation with these latter-day innovations made for the 
purpose of aiding scores in the first place and consumption of 
material in the second. Banish instead of permitting these de- 
partures from sportsmanlike methods, and the conditions would 
more nearly resemble the true art of shooting, which after all 
should be the aim of every shotgun enthusiast.
