T-A photo. Records galore shattered at school track, field meet FOR ALL GOOD $PORT$ By Ross .Haugh Info on traps We made a trip a few weeks ago to visit the grounds of the Exeter Gun Club located on the farm of Elmer Rowe in Hay township for the first shoot of the season. The local shoot group headed by president Jim Darling and secretary Herb Blue holds meets each. Sunday afternoon for their members, The weekly session may be changed to Wednesday evenings in the very near future. We know very little about the shooting sport and feel probably many of our readers are in the same position so we will pass on some information gleaned from bulletins we receive periodically from Winchester-Western. The sport of shotgun at clay birds takes many forms. It ranges from the simplest sort of popping at clay targets tossed from a hand trap and the more imaginative variations simulating the flight of game birds under hunting field conditions to the well regulated, competitive contests in trap and skeet. In all its forms, it is estimated that more than 350-million clay targets are fired at by shot gun shooters every year, a figure that shows an average yearly increase of approximately 10 per cent since 1955. As participation sports, trap and skeet represent the two forms of clay target shooting best suited to recreational shooting facilities capable of accommodating great numbers of participants safely and efficiently. Trap and skeet are two separate shotgun sports. They are based on the shooting of clay targets thrown from a device known as a "trap." Both trap and skeet are organized sports with regulating national associations, formalized tournaments, and governing rules. They are shot over competitive fields of precise, constant specifications. Although both sports are followed throughout the world, their greatest popularity is in the United States. The Amateur Trapshooting Association, Vandalia, Ohio — regulating body for trapshooting in America — has a membership of approximately 50,000 persons — exclusive of its permanent roster of 8,000 life members, about half of whom are active shooters. In 1968, 4,170 registered shoots were conducted under ATA regulations. Affiliated with the ATA are more than 917 gun clubs. Skeet Shooting is an American invention, circa 1910. The word "skeet" itself is an archaic Scandinavian word for "shoot." The average skeet squad is composed of five people each of whom shoots a round of 25 shots. The similarity to trap shooting ends there. The skeet field is laid out in a semi-circle (or half-"clock") with eight stations for shooting. Seven stations are positioned at equal distances on the perimeter of the "clock" with the eighth in the middle on a line between position one and seven. (Station one would be the numeral "12" on a clock; position seven would be the numeral "6".) High targets are thrown from station one at one end of the semi-circle; low targets from station seven at the other end. The trap houses at station one and seven are called the "high house" and "low house." Targets are always thrown in the same pattern of flight, but the angle of the shot varies because the shooter changes positions as the skeet squad moves from station to station. Two targets are shot from each of the eight stations — one from each house. Doubles, where targets are thrown simultaneously from both houses, are then shot from stations one, two, six and seven. The 25th shot is called "optional," for it is a repeat of the first miss. If the shooter breaks all of his first 24, he can call for a target from any station or house as his optional shot. The National Skeet Shooting Association is the regulating body of skeet and issues all rules governing the sport's formalized, registered tournaments. Skeet is shot over competitive fields of precise, constant specifications. Skeet is followed throughout the world with its greatest popularity in the United States. Trapshooting dates back to 18th century England. Trapshooters (usually five in number for a "squad") fire from five adjacent positions in a crescent-shaped formation 16 or more yards behind the "trap." Shooting is done in rotation with the person in number one position firing first and so on. Each person fires at an individual target. After each person fires five shots from a particular spot on the crescent, all move one position to the right until each has fired from all positions — for a total of 25 shots. The "trap" is concealed in a low concrete building ahead of the shooters. Clay targets are thrown out of the building at various angles unknown to the shooter. The clay targets usually sail from 48 to 52 yards and in any direction within a 45-degree angle. A perfect score (25 consecutive hits) is called a "straight." Doubles, where two targets are thrown simultaneously, are shot from the 16-yard line. A round accounts for 25 pairs, or 50 targets.

EVENING — MAY 17 Weather Permitting Exeter Lawn Bowling Club No less than 16 records were smashed at the annual track and field meet staged at South Huron District High School last week and one competitor broke three existing marks in senior boys' ranks. Leo Desjardine wrote new pages in the record book by running the 880 yard dash and the one and two mile distances faster than any South Huron athlete has before. Desjardine managed the 880 yard distance in 2 minutes and 18 seconds knocking a full five seconds off the old mark, completed the mile trek in 5 minutes and 8 seconds, eclipsing the previous record by 12 seconds and he bested the two mile mark by almost 53 seconds finishing in 11.25.2. Senior champion Uilke Nagel set the other senior mark by completing the 120-yard hurdles in 18.2 seconds. The previous mark was 19.7 seconds. Ron Janke emerged as the junior champion and he set one record on the way to the title finishing one of the 220-yard heats in 24.5, one second better than the school record. The other junior high marks were set by Shane McKinnon as he ran the 120-yard hurdles in 18.2 seconds, the same time recorded by Nagel and Jim Morlock in tossing the discus a distance of 111 feet, two feet further than the existing record. Larry Bourne was crowned midget champion and he set two school records doing the 120 hurdles in 18.4 seconds and leaping 18 feet, 10 and a half inches in the long jump. Other midget marks were set by Don Truemner in the 220 dash at 26.5 seconds, Vincent Ayotte in the 880 dash at 2.29.5 and Gord Robinson in the shot put with a distance of 41 feet, 91/2 inches, beating the previous mark by more than 5 feet. Competition was close in the battle for championships with only a point or two separating the contenders. Sheila Willert was crowned senior champ with nine points while Carole Gascho and Joan Campbell were close behind with eight points apiece. Judy Glover took the junior title with seven points and Karen Hem gained eight points to take the midget championship. The first two finishers in each event of last week's meet were in St. Marys yesterday, Wednesday representing SHDHS in the Huron-Perth Conference meet.

Ted, a Bell Telephone employee and president of the Hensall branch of the Royal Canadian Legion is a member of the Clinton Revolver Club and has been shooting for 34 years.
