HE Pinehurst Target-Pistol Club
made its first bow to the public last
Friday with a handicap inauguration,
tournament, the first of a series to be
held weekly during the winter, and it is
apparent that the club
starts out not only
with a large member
ship, but with an en
thusiasm which noth
ing daunts.
The day was not
favorable for the sport
and the trap shooters
saw fit to postpone
their tournament, but
the pistol shooters
would brook no post
ponement and ten out
of the twelve entrants
faced the targets.
Excellent scores
were the features of
the event, considering
the fact that many of
those who partici
pated have shot but
very little, and there
was a close fight for
the net score cup.

president of the club,
scratch, was an easy
winner of the cup of
fered for the best gross
score with three hun
dred and sixty, a
gross average of seventy-two
per string.

whose handicap was twelve per string,
scored three hundred and sixteen gross,
three hundred and seventy-six net; a
gross average of sixty-three and one
fifth per string.

handicap was thirty-two per string, won
the net acore cup with a card of two
hundred and eighty-six gross, four hun
