At the first shoot, 33 contestants were entered, but . this ycfltr the spirit of the thing had so Btlrred the Quaker City autolsta that 9 shooters turned out for tho event. Tli 1,3 is an unusually largo averago attendance even or a big town club shoot. Of tho G8 shooters who used Remington UMC ammunition, Chan. H. Nowcomb of Philadelphia one of the best known amateur trap shooters of tho United States won high amateur ama-teur average breaking 91 targets out of a possible 100. It Is not probablo that any; automobile automo-bile dealer could And a more generally gener-ally popular form ot amusement for hit, owners than a trap shoot. While every tra,p shooter Is not an automobile automo-bile owner, It Is safe to say that almost al-most without exception automobile owners aro trap cnthuslnsts, and tho smtill percentage that aro not will readily become converts to tho sport after onco watching the flight of the elusive clays. Philadelphia papers, in reporting the shoot, statod that tho grounds around tho traps presented tho appearance appear-ance ot an automobllo show, nnd it was apparent that this dealer did his business no harm by thus creating an added opportunity for a display ot good fellowship among those who so Intimately affect hto Income. |
