CHRISTMAS SHOOT OF THE “T. B.” TRAP 
AND GUN CLUB. 
U. S. Naval Hospital, Las Animas, Colorado. 
The weather on Christmas was ideal for trap¬ 
shooting. The club acknowledges a pleasant visit 
by the Las Animas Gun Club. One turkey was 
awarded for each five entrants and the score 
sheets showed that fifteen shooters had appeared 
at the firing line. The members of the club were 
divided into two classes, the beginners and those 
with less experience than the Old Guard were 
placed in Class B. Connolly, Hartzell and Joan 
were tied for Class B. turkey, each having a 
perfect handicap score of 25. The score for 
actually 'broken birds.was as follows: Joan 20, 
Connolly 19, 'Hartzell 20. Some of the more ex¬ 
perienced shooters might even take pride in 
scores as high as the above. On the shoot off, 
Joan won the turkey with a score of broken 
birds of 19. 
In Class A., Dr. Grieve, Chief Engineer Pal- 
rang, Hospital Steward Rupert and Seaman 
Plony were tied with a perfect handicap score of 
25. The score for actually broken birds was as 
follows: Palrang 21, Rupert 21, Dr. Grieve 19, 
Plony 18. On the shoot-off, the chief engineer 
made an easy get-away 'by breaking 24 in fine 
form and carried away the Turk. 
Only five members of the Las Animas team 
entered the contest. Chief Hudnall proposed that 
the Las Animas members fire a practice string 
in order to arrange the handicaps. The chief 
showed his lack of practice by breaking 25 
straight. The scores for the Las Animas con¬ 
tingent on the practice string was as follows: 
Hudnall 25, C. Thomas 22, E. Thomas 18, Has- 
singer 22, Moore 5. 
The Las Animas members finished with a tie 
of 22 for Mr. C. Thomas, Mr. E. Thomas and 
the Chief of Police. On the shoot-off, Mr. E. 
Thomas won the turkey 'with a score of 21 broken 
birds. The scores for the morning were as fol¬ 
lows : Hudnall, 88x100; C. Thomas, 80x100; 
Hassinger, 58x75; E. Thomas, 56x75; Plony, 
38x75; Palrang, 45x50; Rupert, 39x50; Dr. 
Grieve, 34x50; Hartzell, 20x25; Joan, 20x25; 
Connolly, 19x25; Hamby, 17x25; Lieut. Wallace, 
16x25; Morgan, 11x25; Moore, 5x25. Mr. Moore’s 
score represents “first time up.” Thirty strings 
and 750 targets were fired, and all participants 
pronounced the s'hoot a grand success. 
We missed many of the members of the club 
who were present last winter at the last Christ¬ 
mas shoot. Our old members are gone but not 
forgotten, and “T. B.” Trap and Gun Club takes 
this method of extending to all of our old mem¬ 
bers, scattered about the world wherever they 
may be, through the sporting newspapers, hearti¬ 
est best wishes for a very happy New Year. 
The club wishes all our members, who are to be 
found in every clime on both sides of the world, 
all success and prosperity during the new year, 
both at the traps and in all the future under¬ 
takings of the new year, be they business, social, 
educational, or otherwise.
