TRAPSHOOTERS NATIONAL 
ORGANIZATION 
WANTED—Pointers and setters to train; game 
plenty. For sale trained setters, also some good 
rabbit hounds. Dogs sent on trial. Dogs boarded. 
Stamp for reply. O. K. Kennels, Marydel, Md. 
T HERE are ill the United States to¬ 
day, thousands interested in the sport 
of Trapshooting. They are a repre¬ 
sentative body of sportsmen who are in¬ 
tensely enthusiastic over this keenest of 
outdoor recreations. In the past they have 
had no organization to compare with the 
national golf and tennis associations. 
The Interstate Trapshooting Association 
has, it is true, met with much success in 
the supervision of national shooting tour¬ 
naments as well as local competitions, but 
it has not been the means of giving the 
amateur body its rightful position in the 
control of the National Organization or of 
developing interest in Trapshooting among 
beginners and prospective shooters. It has 
been decided, therefore, that The Inter¬ 
state Trapshooting Association be operated 
on a broader basis and for that purpose a 
Development Department has established 
offices in New York City. 
Plans are being carefully worked out by 
means of which the voice of the amateur 
shall be given the weight which it should 
properly have in the organization and man¬ 
agement of the Association, and which is 
so essential to the future expansion and 
development of the sport. Under this plan 
of operation the first function of the Or¬ 
ganization will be to lend encouragement 
to the beginner or prospective shooter and 
provide adequately for the welfare of the 
amateur. 
In order to carry out this work in a 
thorough and effective manner, it is pro¬ 
posed to place the undertaking in charge 
of a Service Board which will consist oi 
twelve members elected each year at the 
Annual National Convention. Through 
this Interstate Service Board, the Associa¬ 
tion will render a much needed service tc 
clubs and the trapshooting public by sup¬ 
plying a standard organization plan; b> 
giving assistance to clubs in developing 
their plans, and by giving expert advice 
and suggestions to inactive clubs which 
need development and co-operative service 
There are two classes of membership— 
Active Membership and Organization Mem¬ 
bership. Active Membership is available, 
to any white man or woman interested irj 
the sport of Trapshooting, upon paymen\ 
of the yearly dues of one dollar. 
Organizations such as gun clubs, coun¬ 
try clubs, yacht clubs, schools, resorts, man¬ 
ufacturing institutions, jobbing firms, etc. 
are entitled to affiliation with The Inter¬ 
state Trapshooting Association upon pay¬ 
ment of annual dues of five dollars, for 
which Charter of Affiliation for the year 
will be issued. 
In these strenuous times it is obviou; 
that there should be available everywhere 
facilities for the widespread developmenl 
of skill in the use of the gun. Practica 
patriotism has found a vast and fertile 
field of endeavor in the encouragement o 
shooting activity. 
Be a practical patriot—identify yoursel 
with The Interstate Trapshooting Associa 
tion and help to develop our national shoot 
ing ability. Pass along the Interstati 
slogan: “Join The Interstate Trapshootinj 
Association today and begin 1919 witl 
100.000 Interstate Amateur Members.”
