GLASS-BALL TRAP SHOOTING 
Id the spring trap! now used to throw gla&s ball* for prac- 
tice shooting, rporUxneo bare a mechanical contrivance which 
•boQld entirely do awaj with the “chances'' which arise In trap- 
pigeon shooting, os the glue hall goes Invariable In the direction 
desired by the trap puller, or in whloh the trap U scL In bird 
•booling from a trap— which many dislike on account of tbo 
well-known objections to it — there is a large element of chance, 
os one man may hate good, slow quartering, birds, whllo 
his opponent may gel strong “In coming" or “ tall- birds," 
making the match uneven, simply becaase the one has 
much easier eboU than the other, and Is not liable to mlsa 
orhavehls birds drop outalde the boundaries. In order to de- 
rive the greatest possible benefit from trap shooting, and at tho 
same time test the marksmanship of any number who may be 
engaged, it is nrceasary . Fln*t, that not only should the trap 
throw balls in different directions, but that each person shooting 
should have in every ten shot* the same angles at which tbo 
others shoot, so that no one may be favored by ebanco or bj tho 
trapper ; Second, that a record be kept of each person's hits 
and misses and the angles on which they ocour, so that one 
may practice Intelligently, knowing on what angles he needs 
more proficiency. It Is believed that the plan adopted for acor- 
Ing, (which has been copyrighted, together with all arrange- 
ments, whether of letters, or figures, characters or plats for re* 
cording shooting by angles) will be found all that Is desired. 
(For good practice the trap. should at all limes be hid from 
▼lew of the person shooting— by screen or otherwise.) 
This system not only records the angles so that each person 
competing secures tbc same shots as all the others, but alto re- 
cords the angles on whloh ho falls to break his balls, so that he 
may practice alone and perfect himself where he falls most.
