There are no administrative costs, thus 100 per- cent of all net receipts go back to the public for special needs. Gobbler Giveaway Special was constructed last year at the South end of the trap range. To add $700 OFF interest and challenge the traditional shooting pad format was abandoned. Each pad for the new trap was constructed according to the natural topography of the hillside. Thus, while the distances for each ALLNATURAL1ZER8 AUD SEASONS BOOTS of the five shooters will be the same, every shooter will shoot from a different elevation. Since the Through Saturday shooters will rotate through each station during the contest, each will have an opportunity to shoot from each elevation. While only the center pad in the front row complies with a regulation range, the varied elevations of all the remaining pads will add interest and a extra challenge for the shooters. Even more interest is added by the operation of an International Trap, which automatically changes the elevation at which each target is thrown, as well as the direction. Thus every shot presents a new challenge to each participant. The other four traps have traditional shooting pads and machinery. The event chairman this year is Lion Maher Remaileh. He states: The Bountiful Lions are proud to g have held this event fifty-tw- o for consecuthe annually tive years. It is held annually on the Saturday and Sunday prior to Thanksgiving.
