JANVAEY 7, 19S0 PAGE SEVEN hand traps will help SHOOTING ONES NOW IN USE CAN BE folded AND CARRIED IN POCKET By Peter P. Carney On the recent tour of the Winchester Shooting Team—which series of exhibi tion shoots by the way stirred up a won derful interest in trapshooting and will help greatly in making 1920 the greatest of trapshooting years—a number of new devices were shown and tried out, all of which 'should aid in the progressive development of the “sport aUuring.” One of the new devices is a hand trap ^vhich when not in use can be folded and carried in one’s pocket. It is so niiu'h of an improvement on the hand trap in vogue for a number of years that it seems strange no one thought of perfecting it before. The target is placed in a shot carrier, extended from a wooden handle, and can be thrown just as far as the thrower’s strength and arm will permit. You throw the target just as you Avould toss a baseball. Having complete control of the trap and the target you can throw the target in any direction you see fit, right, left, straight up in the air, straightaway— anyway to suit your own convenience and that of the shooter. Tlie Winchester expert shot at targets thro\^^l from large and small hand traps, shooting at the large targets witli the 12 guage ventilated rib shot- yiin and the small targets with the .410 Ullage sliotgun. The load in the shell in the little gun is about one-third that of tlio 12 guage shell. I'Jach member of the team shot fit I."),") targets thrown from the large hand tia]), five in each of the 31 cities. John R. Taylor and Charles G. Spencer I'ju'h broke 142; Fred Bills, 140; J. Mowell Hawkins, 138; and Mrs. Topper- weiii, 127. Spencer has 21 scores of 5; Tiiyior and Hawkins, 20 each; Bills, 17 and Mrs. Toppenvein, 12. •Vt the small targets the shooters each fired at 270 and in this exhibition Mrs. T()])j)erwein excelled, breaking 243 tar gets. John Taylor was next with 240. bjtencer was third w'ith 23o; Hawkins, 2;!(i and Bills 200 There isn’t a doul)t but that this trap will be carried by every shooter going any distance in the days to come, for with it, one can engage in trapshooting on most ;'.ny open si)a(*e. registered targets in the middle of the season. It isn’t likely that this will hap pen again. Instead of the professionals having their averages totaled on 2,000 targets, it is more than likely that 3,000 will be the figure worked on in 1920. The professionals shot better this year than they have for many years. No less than 11 state leaders have aver ages above 96, and these are not the only professionals with averages above that mark. In Illinois and Iowa there are several shooters beyond the 97 mark, })ut are unfortunate in having to live in states with so many high class pro fessionals. The registered target season is just about over and it isn’t likely that the averages appended will be changed much.
