Recreation Rod and Gun Club. 
Morcantown, W. Va., April 18.—The trapshooting sea- 
son opened here to-day with the first regular club shoot 
of the Recreation Rod and Gun Club, under almost ideal 
weather conditions. Those members who failed to come 
out certainly missed a very pleasant afternoon’s sport. 
To-day’s shoot also inaugurates the use of distance 
handicaps with us, as we have installed on our new 
grounds two machine traps and have provided for the 
scores back to 22yds., if thought desirable. 
We have also an ideal live-bird score location now 
available, and expect to fit it up later in the summer and 
hold an occasional live-bird shoot, either at pigeons or 
sparrows. 
All score facings on the new layout are due north and 
have perfect sky background. The grounds are ac- 
cessible from the city by trolley on a ten-minute car 
schedule. 
This club will hold the second monthly tournament of 
the Monongahela Valley Sptrtsmen’s League, on May 
25, and in addition to the regular league programme, ex- 
pects to run one 20-target special merchandise distance 
handicap event, in which prizes aggregating $40 will be 
offered, the handicapping being done on the scores made 
in the regular programme. The scores: 
Fred Coleman’s score of 47 straight at live birds in England. as well as 24 out of 
25 at 31 yards, shows how the Parker Gun shoots. See another column in this 
paper showing his marvelous records.
