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.

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.
