[June i, 1907. 
West Virginia Trapshooters’ Association. 
The tenth annual meeting of the West Virginia Trap- 
shooters’ Association held at McMechen, W. Ya., May 
21 and 22 , came to a very successful close, having had 
good weather and as smoothly a running shoot as has 
ever been held by the Association. This being the first 
year of a closed shoot, the attendance was not as large 
as was expected, 'three Leggett traps were used, and on 
the first two days cast iron bluerocks were thrown. 
Many targets were hit and turned over without being 
broken. Many targets were found with six or more 
holes through them, which had to be scored lost, lhis 
accounts for the scores on the early days of the shoot. 
The light was also a little deceptive, as one set of traps 
threw the targets into the light and the other two into 
a black tipple and smoke. , , . ... . 
The McMechen Gun Club deserves a lot of credit for 
the way the shoot was pulled off. From the way Dr. 
H. S. West was kept going, the majority of credit be- 
* U The trade was represented by John R. Taylor, Guy

507 out of 540; Guy Ward 477, H. S. Welles 462. Long 
run of the shoot, John R. Taylor,138. 
The amateur averages: J. M. Speary 498 out of 540, 
W. A. Wiedebusch 472, F. E. Mallory 462. 
The series of five shoots held by the Bergen Beach Gun 
Club in January, February, March, April and May, 
closed on May 14. It was won by the well known ama¬ 
teur expert, John H. Hendrickson, of Jamaica, L. I. 
He scored 14 points. He selected the Ira McKane cup 
as first choice of the many valuable prizes offered. Geo. 
Kouenhoven was second with twelve points, and selected 
the Parker hammerless gun. John Martin and George 
FI. Piercy scored 11 points each; the former selected the 
Smith hammerless ejector, the latter the robin Arms 
Co gun. E. Pierson, 10 points, took the Winchester 
gun W. H. Matthews, 9 points, took the Dupont cup, 
and Ira McKane, also 9 points, took the Hunter Arms 
Co. Vase. The prizes numbered thirty. Fifty-one shoot¬ 
ers qualified for prizes by shooting in at least three ot 
the five contests. Of these, fifteen shot m all five, and 
fourteen shot in four events. There was a total ot lUo 
shooters who competed in one or more events ot tne 
senes. i

last 75 being scored straight. On No. 1 set of traps, 
Tack Fanning scored 25 straight this being the second 
time in which the feat was performed. The first time 
bv L FI Schortemeier had the honor, and these two 
straights of 25 are the only ones as yet to the credit of 
No. 1 traps. , . ■ t-u 
E. VV. Reynolds acted as cashier in the series. I he 
series closed about 3:30 on May 15, and at 5 o clock the 
intricate task of figuring out the places and awarding 
the prizes was completed 1 . , ,

Bergen Beach Gun Club, was by unanimous vote, pre¬ 
sented to Capt. H. W. Dreyer, and became his personal 
property thereby. This was in appreciation of his en¬ 
thusiasm and increasing effort in promoting the club s 
success L. H. Schortemeier made the presentation

words of thanks and appreciation. The following ^or
