called in, after which the Referee shall proceed under 
Section 4 of this Rule. 
Sec. 6. The bird, when once within the grasp of 
the gatherer’s hand, if the gatherer be a person, or within 
the grasp of the gatherer’s mouth, if the gatherer be a 
dog, shall be scored as dead. 
Sec. 7. The gatherer, when a dog, should go directly 
to the bird; but the gatherer, when a man, shall go 
directly to the bird, without any prejudice whatever 
to the contestant’s interests. It devolves upon each 
contestant to so kill birds that they can be gathered 
without any extraordinary strategy or effort. 
Sec. 8. Should the dog break away or be liberated to 
gather the bird before it has touched the ground and, 
while chasing the bird, it passes beyond the boundary, 
the Referee may allow the contestant another bird, pro¬ 
vided he is of the opinion that the bird would have 
been gathered within the time limit if the dog had not 
interfered. 
RULE 13.—MUTILATION. 
The mutilation of birds is prohibited. Any con¬ 
testant, who violates this rule,, or connives at its 
violation, shall forfeit all rights in the contest. 
RULE 14.—GUNS AND LOADS. 
A contestant shall not use, respectively, 
(a) A gun whose bore is larger than a twelve-gauge. 
(b) A load of shot greater than one and one-quarter 
ounce, any standard measure, struck. 
(c) A reloaded cartridge, or a gun or cartridge, after 
it has once misfired in the competition. The con¬ 
testant must thereafter abide by the result if he uses 
such. (See Rule 8 [c]). 
RULE 15.—SHOOTING OUT OF TURN. 
Whenever the Referee deems it necessary to do so, 
for the purpose of saving time, etc., he may require 
A B—Dead Line. . 
ABC D—In Balk. These lines show the boundaries 
which refer to Rule 9, Section 1 (c), and a 
bird under the conditions therein, is said to 
be “in balk.” 
any contestant or contestants to contest, whether it is 
such contestant’s or contestants’ turn to compete or not. 
Shooting out of turn does not affect the competitive 
standing of any contestant. 
RULE l6.—TRAPS. 
Section 1. In all competition there shall be used five 
ground traps, placed five yards apart, in the circumfer¬ 
ence of a circle whose radii are thirty yards; the center 
of said circle is the center of the thirty yards firing 
point. A straight line drawn through this center and 
the center of the boundary circle, should pass through 
the center of all the other firing points, whether more 
or less than thirty yards. The traps are designated by 
numbers from left to right, namely, No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, 
No. 4, No. 5. (See Diagram VI.) The Management 
shall see that the traps are in working order and so 
kept during the competition. 
Sec. 2. When the overground system of trapping is 
used, the Referee shall require that each of the five 
traps contains a bird when the contestant is at the 
firing point. When the underground system is used, the 
trappers are required to exercise their best endeavor 
to keep the traps filled. 
RULE 17.-BOUNDARY. 
Section 1. The boundary shall be a dead line, and the 
circumference of a circle whose radii are fifty yards, 
and whose center is No. 3 trap. The dead line is the 
chord of the circle, and its center is bisected by a 
line drawn from the center of No. 3 trap through the 
center of the firing points. The center of the dead line 
is thirty-three yards from the center of No. 3 trap. 
(See Diagram VI.) The Management reserves the right 
to change the boundary when occasion requires. 
Sec. 2. When the boundary is marked by stakes, or 
anything else which does not show the continuous arc 
of the circle, the boundary shall be straight lines from 
stake to stake, etc., consecutively. In case such bound¬ 
ary is used, a bird, lying on the line or touching it 
when gathered, is a dead bird. 
RULE l8.—DIVISION OF MONEYS. 
In the division, unless otherwise provided, the moneys 
shall be governed by class shooting. 
RULE 19.—TIES. 
The ties shall be shot off and the winnings divided as 
the Management shall elect. 
RULE 20.—UNFINISHED COMPETITION. 
In case that darkness, bad weather, or other cause, 
interferes with the competition, the Management may 
thereupon publicly postpone it to a date not later than 
two weeks. Any contestant who defaults in respect to 
such postponed competition, forfeits all his rights and 
standing therein. 
RULE 21.—OFFICIAL DECISIONS. 
Every person entering the competition agrees to ac¬ 
cept all official decisions, and to abide by these rules. 
NOTES. 
These rules additionally govern, all Registered Tour¬ 
naments. ' 
The “Definitions of Terms” and the Diagrams, in 
respect to targets and live birds, are a part of these rules.
