[Mav 30, 1963. 
Pennsylvania State Shoot* 
The week of shooting, according to the programme presented 
for May 18-21 by tlie Pennsylvania State Sportsmen's Association, 
the competition at flying targets being under the auspices of the 
Florists' Gun Club, Wissinoming, the competition at live birds 
being under the auspices of the Keystone Shooting League, at 
Holmesburg Junction, was an eminent success. Upward of 100,000 
targets were thrown in the four days devoted to them, although 
Monday was a practice day, and not recognized as a part of the 
programme events. 
The programme was wisely and justly arranged. It was liberal 
in its provisions. It provided competition for amateur and pro- 
fessional alike, though the amateur was given the greater consid- 
eration. Special effcrt was made in the division of the moneys to 
provide for that unfortunate tournament class which has diffi- 
culty in scoring SO per cent. In the open amateur sweeps $5 was 
added to fifth place. ?3 to sixth place, so that a contestant who 
broke 10 or 11 out of 15, or 15 or 16 out of 20 targets, would win 
something even if small. High and low average money was pro- 
vided. For the open amateur sweeps State Association members 
only were eligible to win the averages. The daily averages were 
$10 to the four high guns and $5 to the two low guns, $2.50 each. 
The general average prizes for three days, 300 targets, were $10, 
$7, $5 and $3, first to fotuth, respectively, class shooting. Lowest 
general averages, $.'1, $3 and $2. There also was a trophy for the 
State Association member? making highest average in State events 
1, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 9, and a trophy to lowest average. These events 
had a total of 165 targets. In the open amateur sweeps, all shoot- 
ers were taxed 50 cents. This fund was divided among all ama- 
teurs who in the three days' events failed to win their entrance. 
An admission fee to the grounds was charged. Four magau- 
traps, run by electric motor, threw the targets. This part of the 
tournament was in charge of the expert, Mr. Charles North, who 
has had much experience in all the details of tournament matters. 
The tournament was managed by Mr. D. S. Daudt, who is a 
crack shot himself, either at targets or live birds. 
The cashier's office was in charge of the expert, Mr. J. K. 
Starr, assisted by Messrs. A. B. Cartledge and H. H. Stevens. 
Other assistants at the target traps were: 
Trap No. 1.— A. L. Whitaker, referee; J. L. Horn, scorer; F. C. 
Schneider, rustler. 
Trap No. 2.— John Hack, referee; Ned Nieukirk, scorer; H. 
Reed, rustler. 
Trap No. 3.— J. Elwell, referee; Cha?. Reed, scorer; W. N. 
Purcell, rustler. 
Trap No. 4.— A. G. Daudt, referee; F. Rieley, scorer; F. Zeigen- 
fuff, rustler. ' 
The weather much of the time was sultry and oppressively hot, 
mere like days of August than pf spring. 
The grounds are delightfully situated close by the beautiful 
Delaware River, and are enjoyable in themselves, apart from the 
good competition which they alTorded. A good substantial lunch 
was served. The merchandise prizes, added money and guar- 
anteed prizes were offered by the Florists' Gun Club. 
The annual meeting of the Association was held on May 20, 
a large attendance being present. A large number of new clubs 
were elected to membership, which denotes an increased interest 
in trapshooting, and permanency and greater importance of the 
State Association. York and Williamsport made application for 
the State shoot of 1904. York was awarded it, and the vote was 
made unanimous. Officers were elected as follows: President, J. 
O'Hara Denny, of Ligonier; Vice-President, John A. Wilson, of 
Franklin; Secretary, J. N. Runk, of Chambersburg; Corresponding 
Secretary, Allen N. Seitz, of Glen Rock; Treasurer, J. H. VVorden, 
of Harrisburg; Board of Directors: C. F. Kramlich, of Allen- 
town; J. F. O'Neill, of Wilkes-Barre; Dr. Geo. Goebel, of Phil- 
adelphia; Geo. Crane, of Mountville, and R. R. Bennett, of Pitts- 
burg. Messrs. Denny and Wilson, beside offering a tropy in the 
live-bird competition, have promised one for target competition 
next year. It will become the permanent property each year of 
the winner. The different reports indicated that the Association 
was in prosperous and sound condition. The press members 
were shown special consideration. Nice carbon copies of the 
scores were furnished them promptly, for which they were grate- 
ful and have kind remembrance. 
In the open amateur sweepstakes of the first three days, L. Z. 
Lawrence was high average with 289 out of 300. J. T. Skelly 
and J. A. R. Elliott tied for second on 288; J. T. Atkinson was 
third with 283, and Edward Banks was fourth with 282. 
Moaday, Practice Day. 
Monday was not a programme day, yet there were upward of 
ninety shooters who were on the grounds for practice. The star 
performance was that of Mr. J. A. R. Elliott, who broke 98 
out of 100. Pyle was close up to him with 97, Brewster was 96.

First Day, Tuesday, May J9. 
The masses of shooters visible in every part of the grounds were 
sufficient evidence that the tournament was one of the greatest. 
All the events were well filled. There were about 150 shooters. 
There were three State events, of which No. 1 was a sweep- 
stake, 20 targets, $2.50 entrance $100 guaranteed, surplus added, 
divided 25, 20, 18, 15, 12 and 10 per cent. 
No. 2 was the Milt Lindsley trophy. 
No. 3 was the Florists' handicap, 25 targets, $1 entrance, optional 
sweep $1.50, Rose system, 8, 5, 3, 2, 1 points, speed handicap. 
There were nine prizes, the first being a Lefever hammerless gun; 
second a Stevens single-shot rifle. M. S. Brey made a clean score 
of 25. Six — Fox, Mink, Dover, Landis, Stroh and Anderson — 
tied on 24. 
The open amateur sweeps were six in number, four at 15 and 
two at 20 targets, entrance $1.50 and $2, and $8 added to each. 
This made a total of 100 targets, $10 entrance and $48 added. 
The purses were divided Rose system, 8, 5, 3 and 2 points; added 
money was given, $5 to fifth place, $3 to sixth place. These 
events were open to all amateurs and Slate Association members. 
Manufacturers' agents were barred from the purses, but one-half 
cent on each target they shot at was reserved for daily average 
for them. 
Shooting commenced shortly after 9 o'clock and continued to late 
in the afternoon. Of the 100,000 and upward of targets thrown 
during the shoot, 27,000 were thrown on this day, hence the four 
magautraps. were kept reasonably busy. Mrs. W. K. Park was the 
only lady contestant, and although she shot well, she was not up 
to her best skill. J. A. R. ElHott broke 98 out of 100, but the 
daily average money for high and low guns being for State As- 
sociation members exclusively, he could not share in it. The 
general averages were governed by the same conditions. H. L. 
Coleman, of Higgins, Pa., scored 97 and took first. Chlay, Smith 
and Skelly scored 96 each. There was a large percentage of the 
contestants who averaged 90 or better, as the scores show:
