Interstate Association’s Averages 1908. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
Following herewith is the official Interstate Association 
list of Averages for 1908, with names of contestants, 
total number of targets shot at in registered tourna¬ 
ments, total number of targets scored, and percentages. 
The averages for single targets shot from the Hiyd. 
mark are based on a minimum of 2,000 targets for ama¬ 
teurs and a minimum of 5,000 for professionals, as per 
Interstate Association ruling to that effect. The records 
of the tournaments held at New Bedford, Mass., April 
20; Albany, Ga., June 18 and 19; Fayette, Ala., July 15; 
Yazoo City, Miss., Aug. 24, 25 and 26; East Lexington, 
Mass., Sept. 7; Covington, Ind., Oct. 13 and 14, and 
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 19, 20 and 21, were not received, 
and of course, are not included in the list. 
The averages for double targets and for targets shot 
from the 19yd. mark, use of two shots, are computed 
on Interstate Association tournaments only, and they 
are based on taking part in two tournainents as a 
minimum, as per Interstate Association ruling to that 
effect.
