seat of great enlightenment and from this source he 
drew many of his deductions. We may, therefore, 
scrutinize with interest a trapshooter’s knees while he 
is in action. Do they wabble not? He is a seasoned 
shooter in good physical condition. Do they wabble? 
He is anxious, perhaps a little new at the game but so 
happy and willing to get that next target he cares 
little whether the sun shines or the equinoctial is on. 
It is a fascinating sport without placing any strain 
on the nervous system, in fact, trapshooting strengthens 
the nerves. It combines sport with fresh air and sun¬ 
shine and saves many doctors’ bills. Physicians and 
nurses recommend the sport as a health tonic, and if 
the patients follow the advice given there will not be 
much need for the physician and the nurse. 
State Champions of 1916 Crowned. 
J. N. Walker is champion of Oklahoma with a score 
of 94 x ioo and Brad Timms is king of Georgia turning 
in a score of 98 x 100. 
A Clean Cheek May Add Targets to Your Score. 
It may seem a small matter and some may be in 
clined to smile but you will find that if you have 
neglected to visit your barber or performed a usual 
function of toilet on the morning of your shoot the stock 
of your gun will slip very readily on your cheek. 
The back sight of any shot gun is the comb of the 
stock and your cheek must cling to it tenaciously or 
targets will slip by you.

The Country’s Trapshooting News in a Twelve- 
Gauge Shell. 
The heading of a notice of a meeting of the Mis¬ 
souri Fish and Game League can’t help but make us 
think of what is going to happen in St. Louis be¬ 
fore many moons. Here is the heading: 
A CALL TO ARMS! 
THE CLANS ARE NOW GATHERING! ! 
THEY ARE HEADED THIS WAY! ! ! 
THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT UP THE TOWN! ! ! ! 
ARE YOU PREPARED? ? ? ? ? ? 
To the pioneers of every sport must come feelings of 
satisfaction with the realization of the dreams and 
hopes of years. 
The history of trapshooting will record no greater 
step forward than the recognition of the interests of 
our women trapshooters by the decision of the Inter¬ 
state Association, the governing body of the sport, to 
arrange for an event for women at the seventeenth 
Grand American Handicap trapshooting tournament in 
St. Louis in August. 
But a few years ago the women trapshooters of the 
country who were to be found regularly at the traps 
could be numbered almost on the fingers of two hands. 
While we do not recall all of these women pioneers, 
the names of Mrs. Johnston and Mrs. Shattuck, both 
of Minneapolis; Mrs. Dr. D. H. Day, of Duluth; Mrs. 
Ad. Topperwein, of Texas, and Annie Oakley are still 
fresh in our mind. Unquestionably hundreds and possi¬ 
bly thousands of other women enthusiasts visited the 
traps from time to time; otherwise the rapid influx 
of the past three years would not have been possible.
