Popularity of Trap Shooting at Sum> 
mer Resorts. 
Clay pigeon shooting is becoming more and more 
the pastime of the man of outdoor instincts. In almost 
every club devoted to any sort of outdoor sport, one 
finds a trap layout, at which on Saturdays and holidays 
the red-corpuscled members are found burning powder, 
improving their marksmanship and enjoying the air and 
exercise. So when these same men go away for the 
summer they miss their weekly divertisment. Summer 
resort owners have come to appreciate this growing con¬ 
dition and have taken care of the “blood-thirsty craving” 
of their patrons by putting in a trap or two, a supply of 
targets and the necessary shells and loads. 
The sport is growing so in popularity that trap 
editors of sporting magazines get many letters asking 
if such and such a resort has clay pigeon traps, and if 
not, what resort in Maine or elsewhere has traps. 
The va’ue of trapshooting as a resort builder is shown 
in the popularity of certain Southern resorts, for in¬ 
stance, Pinehurst, N. C., has been introduced to a large 
extent through its trap tournaments, more even than 
through its golf course. General Bond’s resort at Buies, 
N. C., keeps a full house all winter and he attributes 
a great part of this popularity to his traps. “They 
keep the guest entertained in rainy days when he 
can t hunt or fish.” In Maine, Plaines Landing draws 
many all-summer guests through its transhooting tourna¬ 
ments held during the summer. Ralph Spotts, a mem¬ 
ber of the Olympic team and one of the best amateur 
shooters in the country spends his summers there, and 
among the guests’ names are recognized many New 
York Athletic Club trap shooters. 
If those hotel men who have not yet taken up this 
sport realized the many hours’ pleasure it afforded the 
guests, they soon would put in a trap house and the 
equipment that goes with it. The expense is very 
slight, while there is a profit on every target and car¬ 
tridge shot. The announcement that trapshooting was 
a feature soon would draw real outdoor men who might 
be depended upon as “regular” year after year. 
Traps may be purchased as low as $4.50 each f. o. b. 
factory; better styles from $6 to $6.50 f. o. b. factory.
