TRAPSHOOTERS PREPARING FOR STATE 
CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS. 
By Peter P. Carney. 
Preparedness as far as the trapshooter is concerned 
means getting in trim for the Grand American Handi¬ 
cap. This will be held in St. Louis, Mo., in August. 
Previous to the Grand American there will be sec¬ 
tional championships, and each state in the union will 
conduct a state championship tournament. The win¬ 
ner of each of the state championships is eligible to 
participate in the amateur championship competition in 
St. Louis. . . 
This is about the time of the year that the majority 
of the state associations make plans for the summer 
campaign, and already six associations have announced 
the dates for the annual state tournaments and cham¬ 
pionship competitions. Other states will fall in line 
shortly, and in another month all the dates should 
be ready for publication. 
The Southern Handicap will take place in Memphis, 
Tenn., in May; the Western, in Omaha, Neb., in 
June; the Eastern, in Philadelphia, in July. The 
Westley Richards English Guns 
Westley Richards g u n s are made by hand throughout, each gun 
represents an individuality of its own, the result of trained craftsmanship. 
They are fitted with simplified one-trigger mechanism, detachable locks 
and the strongest of breech construction.

Pacific Coast Handicap will be conducted, but the 
Interstate Association has not awarded the event as 
yet. 
There is more interest in the sport this year than 
in any year since trapshooting really took a hold 
on the American sport-loving public. Clubs are plan¬ 
ning and giving “booster shoots,” and no end of 
little things are being done to make the sectional 
championships even bigger than ever. More snap and 
dash is being displayed by those conducting the state 
championships, and this energy will be repaid in ad¬ 
ditional entrants. 
The first championship dates announced are of the 
Mississippi State Association. This tournament will 
be staged on the traps of the Greenville, Miss. Gun 
Club. The dates are May 3, 4 and 5. Besides the 
usual run of events there will be a three-man team 
championship. The teams being selected from the 
best shooters of Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, 
Louisiana and Arkansas. The competition will be 
known as “The Lakes to the Gulf Championship.” 
The twenty-sixth running of the Pennsylvania State 
championship will be staged on the Lansdale, Pa., 
(j'ust outside of Philadelphia) traps, on May 17, 18, 19 
and 20. The original intention was to begin the shoot 
on May 16, but a primary election that day caused 
a change in the plans. In connection with the state 
shoot there will be sessions of the Pennsylvania State 
Sportsmen’s Association in the evenings. These should 
be of great interest to sportsmen, for talks will be 
made on game, fish and forestry, by authorities on the 
subjects. 
The Nebraska and Illinois State championship shoots 
fall on the same days—May 23, 24 and 25. The Illi¬ 
nois tournament will take place on the traps of the 
Starved Rock Gun Club, at La Salle, Ill. On the 
opening day of the shoot there will be a ioo-target 
match for the Jefferson Hotel, (Peoria, Ill.) trophy, and 
25 pairs contest for the double championship of the 
State. The registered tournament is at 400 targets. The 
Elliott system will be used in dividing purses, and 
the high guns will be determined under the Con tor 
system. 
The Iowa State Association has selected Waterloo, 
la., as the place for the Iowa championship tourna¬ 
ment, and the time will be May 30, 31 and June 1. 
The New York State Sportsmen’s Association will con¬ 
duct the New York State championship at Syracuse, 
on June 12, 13, 14 and 15. Oregon, Washington and 
Texas will announce the dates for their championship 
matches within the next few weeks. The Texas tourna¬ 
ment will be staged by the Dallas Gun Club on the 
traps of the Dallas Automobile and Country Club, in 
June.
