Limited G«n Club's Tottrnament. 
Indtanapolis, Jnd. — The tournament of the Limited Gun Club, 
Oct. 30 and 31, had its usual programme ol target and sparrow 
events. Tlie main event was the Grand Hotel cup contest at 50 
targets, and this distinguishing honor was won by JMr, H. J. 
Sconce, of SidelJ, lU., by a score of 49 out of 5<k 
First Day, Oct. cO. 
Forty contestants participated in the programme of to-day. 
Sconce was high gun, breaking ]56 out of llf) shot at. The main 
event, the Grand Hotel cup, begun to-day. was unfinished, and fur- 
ther competition in it was postponed till 2 o'clock to-morrow. The

Second Day> Oct. 3t, 
There were thirty-six entries to-day, all told, and for this reason 
and the early darkness it was necessary to declare off two target 
events of 15 each. Sconce was again the high gun. He made the 
best score ever recorded on the Limited Gun Club grounds. The 
shooting was of a high order. The visiting shooters all expressed 
a desire to attend the next tournament of the Limited Gun Club, 
which will be held in February. The scores:

The Recoil D«c to Gas. 
We recently had the pleasure of inspecting a device for recording 
the recoil of a gun on the principle of the ballistic pendulum, it 
had been erected in the testing laboratory of the Kynoch Company, 
and was the special design of their Mr. Housman. The methods of 
taking the recoil of firearms have been many and various. Natu- 
rally recoil itseh, from the energy point of view, varies according to 
the weight of the recoiling mass, but in any case efforts have been 
made in many directions to obtain an exact measure of recoil, 
whether in foot-pounds relating to a given weight of recoiling mass 
or in momentv;m (the product of weight and velocity), which pro- 
vides a common ground of comparison for all weights of recoiling 
parts'. Mr. Housman's line of research has been especially devoted 
to the separation of the recoil at the moment of the exit of the shot 
from the total recoil measurable after the gases have become free 
from the gun. It will be remembered that Capt. Journee and Axr. 
Griftich have bolh worked on the lines of m.easuring the velocity of 
recoil of a freely suspended gun, having a weight approximately 
equal to that of an ordinary firearm. For measurem.ent of these 
sm.all inter^aIs of time a chronograph of the best possible construc- 
tion is a necessity, and although many factories possess such 
chronographs, they cannot as a rule be applied to the measurement 
of recoil, sin-.'e recoil measurement, to be of any value, must be 
accompanied !)y shot velocities, which must be taken simultane- 
ously. The ISoulenge chronograph and its modern prototype, the 
Plolden instrunisnt, are those most frequently met with, arid 
neither of them is capable of taking more than one lime record in 
single operation. The Smith chronograph, on the other hand, can 
take as many as five simultaneous records. For instance, it may 
take the time from hammer to muzz'e, from muzzle to t,he point 
fiyed for taking shot velocities, and the two remaining styles^ may 
be, appropriated for recording the recoil velocity of the gun itself. 
Consequently, those laboratories which are equipped with the 
Smitii chronograph have a ready means at their disposal for 
making systematic investigations in recoil by means of the velocity 
method. For laboratories equipped with the falling weight chrono- 
graph another method of measurement is available, and it is the 
one v/hich has been turned to account by Mr. Housman. 
He has bu51t a gun— in fact a cannon— some SOin. long and Sin. in 
diameter. The gun has been most delicately suspended by means 
of four wire ropes, coaneoted at their @nd,6 with a ^system o£ 
geometrical . suspensioa bearings, which eliminate friction and 
other sources of error as far as is humanly possible. With a gun 
so heavy the .nm"unt of recoil experienced is vory slight; in fact, an 
ordiiiary chaige only swings the pendulum r m^i(?r oi ^iti. llie 
length of swing, taken in relation with the length of the pendu- 
lum and its mass, may be mathematically analyzed, so that by 
the use of a constant the distance recoiled, which is suitably regis- 
tered on a scale, may be read off in terms of momentum. This 
reading is, st:ictly speaking, the total value of recoil of the gun. 
Tbe whole of the energy of recoil, so far as is practicable, has been 
utilized in raising the weight of the gun, the amount of rise being 
directly ascertainable from the majestic swing of the gun, which 
cornpares in a marked degree with the buck-jumping action of Mr. 
Griffith's lighter weapon. In order to make the record as com- 
plete as possible plugs have been fitted to this gun, and across 
the muzzle is an attachment for taking velocity. The effect of 
this combination is that pressure, recoil and shot velocity may be 
directly measured. The elementary laws of motion have enabled 
us to derive from the shot velocity the value of recoil at the mo- 
ment when the shot laeves the muzzle, and these are applied in the 
ordinary way to the readings obtained from this instrument. In 
this way Mr. Housman has provided an entirely separate means 
of determining recoil, which will prove a very valuable auxiliary 
to the velocity instruments working to produce the same result. 
At the present moment we have not had an opportunity of study- 
ing in detail the readings obtained by Mr. Housman; but we hope 
at an early date to be in a position to institute some interesting 
comparisons between the tw'o systems that are now available in 
addition to the spring method, whicli was so long exclusively used 
in our own testing department. — The Field (London). 
Professional and Amateur. 
New York, Nov. S.—Mdilor Forest and Stream: The article on 
"Amateurs and Professionals," in your issue of the £th, causes one 
of the 80 per cent, amateurs, as you term them, to stop and think 
a little, 'this question has caused quite a lot of discussion and a 
lot of thinking, and m.ost of it that 1 have heard is from the class 
below and some above SO per cent, shooters, and this class seldom 
air their grievances through sporting papers. 
The experts are a fine lot of gentlemen, as far as I have met 
them, and I like them very much; but, as you seem to think they 
are the drawing card to a shoot, it is a pity that some arrangement 
cannot be made whereby the expenses of the expert should be 
lessened. But let me say to you that some of the novices do 
not think as you do. T know of one instance where a novice re- 
fused to continue to shoot a powder that he was shooting fairly 
good with, because he had just learned the expert was employed 
by the powder firm that made the powder that the novice was 
using. 
You know, Mr. Editor, it is almost impossible to beat the 
builder or maker, and if I am to be beaten 1 would rather be 
beaten by one of my own kind, for then 1 will think i am not as 
proficient as the fellow that beat me. 
You know, Mr, Editor, what it means to spend weeks in the 
factory testing loads, and you no doubt know what constant prac- 
tice means with a gun, or you wouldn't have written such an 
article. Don't you think that a fellow would be foolish to lay his 
money agamst such odds? 
Will you, through the Forest and Stream, tell me and a lot of 
other amateurs why the manufacturers allow their agents to shoot 
for money? Is it to help pay their expenses, or to convice the 
novice he is shooting the wrong powder? 
I have no kick coming myself, for my money has always been 
up, except once; if I had that to do over I would shoot with him; 
but there are others. 
Mr. Editor, I am a firm believer in handicap proper, and am 
always willing to give to the poorer shot a chance for. liis shooting, 
but it is a hard question to solve correctly; and as you must be up 
in the art yourself to write such an article, I am going to give 
you a problem to figure out, one that 1 gave to one of the best 
expert shots this country can boast off, but I won't give you the 
rule he used to figure it out with: 
Example: If an amateur breaks his targets 25yds. from the 
trap, standing at 16yds. from the trap, and the expert breaks his 
targets 20yds. from the trap, standing at 21yds. from the trap, 
iiow much handicap has the amateur over the expert? Or if 
an amateur kills live birds 8yds. from the trap, standing at 28yds. 
from the trap, and the expert kills live birds 4yds. from the trap, 
standing at 32yds. from the trap, what handicap has the amateur 
over the expert? Rule to figure by: The amateur seldom shoots; 
the expert shoots for a living. Dudley. ^ 
[The foregoing luminous exposition in respect to handicapping 
seems to refer to Dudley in particular rather than to handicapping 
in general, since it embodies the arguments which he uses in 
private in respect to his personal interests in shooting. He shoots 
in middling slow time, yet has expert results — namely. 90 to 95 
per cent. — and also he dislikes to be put back of 16yds. When 
there is any setting back to be done he magnanimously concedes 
superiority to the other fellow, and that the other fellow be set 
back accordingly. To show the fallacy of his rather circular process 
of reasoning, let us assume a competition in which there are two 
men, A and B, each shooting from the 16yd. mark and each break- 
ing 95 targets out of 100. Let us further assume that A breaks 
his targets 5yds. nearer the trap than B does. Then, if a handicap 
was made according to Dudley's theory. A, who broke his targets 
5yds. nearer, should be set back to 21yds., while B remained at 
16, so that in theory both would break their targets at the same dis- 
tance from the traps. Dudley overlooks the fact that A has new 
problems to solve when set back quite as much as B has. The 
exact number of yards, feet and inches at which each contestant 
breaks his targets from the traps is, as data, not of so much im- 
portance in estimating handicaps as is the number which each 
contestant can on an average break. B's skill in pointing his gun 
accurately may more than compensate for A's quickness. The 
results are what determine the relative degrees of skill, as shown 
by the scores, and not the number of yards, as set forth by 
Dudley. . , . 
Our contention that the professionals are a material benefit to 
trapshooting we still mainta'in. Outside of the average amateur's 
immediate circle of friends and acquaintances but little interest is 
manife.sted in his performances at the trap, while the performance 
of the professional thereat is of general i>ublic interest. Moreover, 
we are fiirmly convinced that the professional has a right to live.]

Norwalk, O., Nov. 8. — The second annual tournament of the 
Maple City' Gun Club was held at Norwalk, O., Nov, 6. There 
were ten events at targets and three at live birds. 
The targets were thrown from a magautrap; ground traps, 28yds. 
rise, 50yds. iDoundary, for live birds. The day was an ideal one for 
a shoot, and the many taking part in the tournament enjoyed it to 
the utmost. , . , , , c „ j i. 
Good, of Bellefontaine. was hight man, closely followed by 
Frank, of the local clrb. A. C. Holliday made a very efficient 
score, and Fred Cole, as a squad hustler, kept things moving 
along in good time. ^ u i. 1 . • u ^ i 1 
Altogether it was one of the best shoots ever given by a local 
organization, and the boys feel proud of the record made by the 
Mrple City Club.

Qiiail Shoofirg in NoMh Carolina 
An experienced sportsman and regular visitor to the North 
Carolina hunting grounds has the following to say of the quail 
prospects this season: 
"Reports from the different sections of North Carolina credit 
quail as being more plentiful this year than they were last year, 
which was an off season, liut this has been a favorable breeding 
season, and so the crop of this royal game bird is back to normal, 
and normal applied to quail in Nurtb Carolina means from one to 
two dozen bevies a day to a reasonably diligent hunter with fairly 
good dogs. Topographically, there are two hunting sections in 
the State, the I'iedmont or that part of it comprised in the foot- 
hills and rolling lands, and that east of it, which is leveler to the 
coast. As far as birds go, there is little choice. In the foothills 
there are fewer briers and sand burrs, rather more open-cover 
shooting, and more exercise. The level section is easier getting 
over, and so location is a matter of choice. In the nver sections 
of the Piedmont the belter hunting will be off the river bottoms, 
owing to the numerous and veiy high freshets this summer, v ash- 
ing the bottoms out and destroying the corn and wheat, and driv- 
ing the birds back; but as these bottom lands are narrow, it will 
make no material dilTerence to the sportsmen in regard to their 
location. The open season of North Carolina begins N.ov. 1, and | 
the birds are then less wild and break into less difficult cover; but 1 
they soon get experience and become wary, and such conditions 
give the sportsman and good shot the most pleasure. A full-grown, , 
strong quail that has learned what it means will tax his skill and 
give him more enjoyment, even when the quail gets the better of 
him; hence many sportsmen prefer December for their annual quail- 
ing, both on this account and that the climate is more bracing 
for 'field work. In many regards it is the most desirable month 
of the season to choose for a quail hunt in North Carolina. 
"The Southern Railway has issued its 'Hunting and Fishing* for 
1901-1902. which gives localities and stopping places, and it would 
be well for those not informed to open correspondance with some ^ 
of those named. The book is without bias, and aims but to help 
the huutiag Lraternity." Alei. S. Thweatt,
