DRIVERS AND TWISTERS. 
The next shoot of the Hudson Gun Club is fixed to 
take place on June 20. All shooters are cordially in¬ 
vited to attend. 
The Passaic County Gun Club has organized and will 
be ready in the near future to begin active competition. 
Mr. Wm. Dutcher, of Paterson, is manager, and with his 
indomitable pluck and energy, there is a guarantee that 
his duties will be attended to’ ably and conscientiously. 
The details are quite fully set forth by Mr. Dutcher 
elsewhere in our trap columns. 
Mr. W. L. Boyd, shooting under the name of Fairfield, 
scored 92 out of 100 at the shoot of the Deep Run Hunt 
Club, Richmond, Va., June 5. He made also a run of 
70, the ground record in this respect as pertaining to 
local shooters. Mr. J. A. Anderson was second high 
average with a total of 90. The latter gave an exhibition 
of expert rifle shooting, hitting small disks, about the 
size of a dollar, thrown in the air. 
At the anniversary shoot of the Montclair, N. J., Gun 
Club, June 5, the many ties were a noticeable feature. 
Mr. L. M. Palmer, Jr., won the special trophy for high 
gun in the last 100 targets with a score of 95. Messrs. 
Smith, Potter and Howard tied for second and third 
prizes on a score of 92 each. In the shoot-off. Potter 
won second, and Smith third. In the supplementary 
event, the sixteen high men of the eight preceding events 
being eligible, Mr. Thos. Dukes won. 
Shooters in general seem to be unaware that double 
targets, under Interstate Association management, are 
not thrown now in the irregular manner which obtained 
in past years. Instead of tbe old flights—right-quarterer- 
straightaway, straightaway-left-quarterer, right and left- 
quarterers, etc.—each pair is thrown at an angle of 
between 45 and 25 degrees, right and left; that is moder¬ 
ate right and left-quarterers; hence each shooter gets 
flights as nearly alike as possible. The old flights were 
entirely too difficult for any shooter of average ability, 
and taxed to tbe limit the skilll of the experts. The 
objections heretofore raised against doubles in tourna¬ 
ment competition are therefore not well taken under 
present conditions as to flights. 
At the New Jersey State shoot, held June 1, 2 and 3, 
under the auspices of the Jersey City Gun Club, some 
notable performances were recorded. Mr. George L. 
Lyon made a long run of 201, and Mr. Howard 
Schlicher made one of 142. The latter for the three days 
made high amateur average, scoring a total of 473 out 
of 480. His totals for each of the three days were 158, 
157 and 158, missing orily 7, a truly wonderful amateur 
performance. On the second and third days, a pro¬ 
fessional squad scored 100. However, it is but fair to 
state that the targets were rather easy. The three-man 
team championship was won by Freehold team No. 1. 
The two-man team championship was also won by Free¬ 
hold. The individual championship was won by Mr. 
F. J. Hineline with a straight score of 50. The shoot 
next year goes to Atlantic City. 
Practice day, June 1, of the Ohio State tournament, 
June 2, 3 and 4, was notable chiefly for a score of 99 
cut of 100 made by Mr. Lester German. On the second 
day Mr. Luther J. Squier made a run of 99; Mr. H. D. 
Freeman ran 80; B. Cooper 83; D. A. Upson 74; G. 
Volk 66. High averages for the day, professional and 
amateur, were made by Messrs, German and Upson, 195 
out of 200. On t’ne second day, Mr. Upson made a run 
of 106. Mr. German, continuing an unfinished run of the 
previous day, ran 130. Mr. German and Mr. J. R. Taylor 
tied on 192 for the day’s high professional average. The 
high amateur average went to Mr. G. Volk, who scored 
192. The Review trophy was won by Mr. R. O. Heikes 
and his son Horace in a closely contested race. Mr. 
German was high professional for the general average 
with 582. Mr. Upson was high amateur with 583 out of 
200 .
