Tou realise before you atart you must point your gun Wnttrely different from whav you did at th first bird. Tou must fctudy conditions and know whether that second bird I going high er low. In this connection, let me tell you that I won the doubles championship at Chicago because I studied that second bird carefully at each trap; knw that a wind was sweeping across th traps toward th left, which kept that bird In tha air. I always ahoot at th left bird second, and. therefore, I didnt have to qhase that right angle, aa many contestants did. Shooting at tha second bird in a doubles race trains a man for dlfflcult elngie train Wm to have better Control of his gun. It teaches him to swing target, . Itshows him that hs must shoot under a low target, and he learns how quick. It far to lead an angle bird, In fact. I not only consider doublet good practice for singles, but particularly for distance handicap ahooting. A man must "dope them"; be cant shoot that styla that ao many shooters adopt, aad among them I'll admit I frequently did a lot of th snapshooting before topnotchera. I began to shoot double Sometimes I was lucky, when I turned in a good scor Now I study conditions and th necessary leads, and know pretty well wher I am hooting and- why I sm shooting there. Doubles kaep a man in that "up and at em frame of mind more than any ether clay target shooting.' I firmly .believe that If avery gunner would practice at twenty-fir- e pairs before he entered a slnglej eonteat, scores generally would show Improvement. In tact, the singles would be "pie tor the experienced trapehot. Ha would ba apeeded up on hia tees all th time. ' To. me, the best point in fsvor of doubles la, that the game Improves my field shobttng. I do not hesitate to say that I. averaged- 14 to 15 per cent higher on quail in the course of tho last Season. This means- a lot to me, for I spend many enjoyable days In the field In th fall, and I like to coma hdme with the limit, as I Uka doe any man. Mtaeea in th flsld worry ms mor than misses at th trap fe think I dont cripple a single bird that gets sway. I dont know that I am the one to tell you how to shoot double but I can tell , bow I do k. There are two points to be fixed In your mind: , ' d. ; . Shoot High; Then Low. Shoot tha first target quick when It Is In Its fullest flight. Lead It wall- and . pboot high, i Be careful not to undershooL .The second target usually is not rising by th time you swing around on IL Therefore, you must shoot under It. Be careful not to overshoot It. Its not wise to shoot too fast. Get rid of the first bird In a hurry; then lead the second. I began on No, 5 peg when I wqn th championship. That gav me an advantage. I could look at four pairs before I got my first shot at each trap. As I said, 1 always shoot at the right bird first o I immediately saw that the left bird was I could going In th air, w.hils the right was going straight and fast. Therefor take my time on that left angle; could wait it out. Tou know the answer. , Let me repeat that I think doubles should be on every tournament program. If It's only twenty-fiv- e pair by all meana lets hsv them. Some may object, but they are now compelled to enter. There ar plenty who like doubles aad will b to enter. glad I confess that I pould rather shoot doubles than singles. Indeed, while w ar about It, let's have some doubles with' the gun he!& below th elbow. That will tend to make every trapshooter a star In the field. Many men shoot at clay tarrets, both single and doubles, and break 90 per rant or better. Later they go Into th field and wonder why they miss so many The answer la assy. They learn to shoot with th gun In position before bird they call pulL. Its thquite different In th field, when th gun must t thrown birds ar "up and nearly always a man has an opportutnth boulder after 7 nity to ahoot at two, usually going In epposlta direction mor double) And I would Uks to see trapshooting, I wish had Therefor, particularly at double rapidly approach th "gun below the elbow" etvle.
