GUNCRAFT 
By WM. A. BRUETTE 
A modern treatise on guns, gun fitting, 
ammunition, wing and trap shooting. 
The theoretical side of the subject has 
been covered with a scientific accuracy 
which makes it an up- 
to-date book of refer¬ 
ence, and the practical 
side of wing-shooting, 
gun fitting, the master 
eye, defects in vision 
and other important 
questions have been 
treated in a way that 
will enable either the 
expert or the amateur 
to determine if he is 
shooting with a gun 
that fits him and how 
to decide upon one that 
does. It will enable 
him to ascertain why 
he misses some shots and is successful with 
others. The secrets of success in trap 
shooting as well as the peculiarities in 
flight of the quail, the jacksnipe, the wood¬ 
cock, the ruffed grouse and the duck family, 
are illustrated by drawings and described 
in a way that will facilitate the amateur in 
mastering the art of wing shooting. Car¬ 
tridge board cover, $1.00; Cloth, $1.50.

for the answer, and when none came, spoke out 
the disgust 'passing in his mind. “Right straight 
away, and missed it, by Gosh!” 
“Pull,” called Hen hopefully for his last tar¬ 
get, before Obadiah could “come to.” 
“Dead,” called the referee. 
“Hoop-e-e! gi’me my tobaker,” howled Hen, 
delighted with the outcome. 
“Oh, you’ll git it all right enough,” spoke up 
Obadiah, as though in a dream. “I, gosh, 1 
don’t see how I muffed that last pigeon.” 
“Ye shot like nailers, both on ye, and I’m 
proud of ye,” spoke up the vision by the flag 
pole, as they joined the crowd.

CHIPS FROM THE FLYING CLAYS. 
There are at least 250 trapshooting organizations on 
the Pacific Coast. 
Trapshooters of Florida are laying plans for the form¬ 
ing of a State Association. Florida is one of the two 
States without a State Association. 
The annual trapshooting tournament of the New York 
Sportsmen’s Association will be held at Syracuse, N. Y., 
in June. The State championship shoot will take place 
in this meeting. 
Women are getting into the “sport alluring” further 
all the time. The Western Pennsylvania Trapshooting 
Association has a woman secretary, Miss Edna Lau- 
tenslager, and she is a very capable officer. 
Plans are under way for a series of shoots through¬ 
out the country this summer for members of the Boy 
Scouts of America. The boys will be taught how to 
hold the gun and the little things to know about trap¬ 
shooting, and some day the experience may come in 
useful. 
The Canal Zone is a fertile field for trapshooting. 
There are quite a number of clubs in Panama, the 
largest one being the Isthmian Trap and Rifle Club, 
at Cristobal. Special events are held on all holidays, 
and tourists are invited to join in all competitions. 
Since live bird shooting has been prohibited by law 
in Florida, trapshooting has increased in popularity. 
It is the main sport now at Palm Beach and the other 
fashionable winter resorts. 
Additional interest is being taken in trapshooting in 
the South. All through Georgia, gun clubs are being 
organized, and the Georgia championship should have a 
lot of newcomers in it this summer. 
Evidently Sam Huntley is not as anxious to shoot 
that 1000-bird match as he would have people believe. 
B. F. Ebert, of Des Moines, la., posted $250 recently 
to bind a match between an “unknown” and Huntley, 
the name of the “unknown” to be announced after 
the posting of the forfeits. Huntley declined to 
compete with an “unknown,” and also added that 
he would not shoot a match any place but in 
Chicago, and that he wouldn’t shoot the 1000 targets in 
one day. Ebert’s “unknown” is said to be none other 
than Charles G. Spencer.
