that it takes practice and
skill to consistently hit the
flying targets known as
claybirds in trap and skeet
shooting. The' Exeter club
has about 40 members' who.
regularly devote time -twice
a week to•their thundering
sport.
-It's something like play-
ing golf." says' club presi-
dent Larry- Mason. "One
night you might shoot 14.and-
the .next time you try and do
better." • -
In operation for only two
years. the Exeter club

Trap shooting is the
simplerof the two. with only
one bird being launched at a
time. Five shooters take
turns. each calling "pull"
when they are ready for the
.claybird to be launched. The
birds are fired from a
"trap". a small hut 16 yards
in front of the shooters. with
the -shooters unable to tell-
what angle the bird will fly
until it is in the air.
Alter five shots the
shooters shift positions for
five more -shots. -When they
have shol at all five stations
they will have used a box of
shotgun shells and will have
a score out of 25.
Skeet shooting- is more
complicated with eight
different firing positions.
The clavhirds are -launched

-don't- hunt; they -just like to
come- outand 'shoot -They -
enjoy competition," he•said.
"Also as game gets
tighter and tighter. people
have to come t� a gun club to
shoot. Before long with all
the- restrictions. it will be
the only place many people-.
will be able to shoot,"
Mason predicted.
Kitchener. Bavlick was in-
troduced to the sport by a
fellow worker. .Before that
he had only used a gun for
hunting. •
"Ifind it a challenge..It is
a good way to vent
frustrations at the end of a
day." he said.
• Another regular at the
club is Jody Mosurinjohn.
who says he likes the sport
simply - for the thrill 'of.
breaking clay pigeons.
"I just like breaking
targets. The more -targets I
shoot, the more I like it."
Trap and skeet shooting is
open to anyone. whether
they are a member of the
Claybird,club or not. It costs
$4.50 to shoot a round: which
covers the expense of the
clay birds and ammunition.
The advantage- of club
membership is a say in the
operation of the club and an
insurance policy which gives
a person $200:000 -third party
liability coverage when they
are handling a firearm or
fishing. The $15 a year fee
also makes the member a
member of the Federation
of Anglers and Hunters and
gives them a subscription to
the federation's magazine.
