Trap shooting attracts area marksmen • Kippen Gun Club on target shooter on Sunday was Kai Wisch, 15, RR 2 Kippen, and the oldest Lorne Smith, 88 from St. Thomas. Another visitor from St. Thomas, Jim Whitchurch, became interested in the sport about five years ago: Otis son has been North American high school champ for the past two years.) Whit - church says his two artifical legs have no effect on his score, he was "rotten before, and I'm rotten now." . The all -day event is a fami- ly affair. After all trophies and prizes had been awarded,, most stayed on for freshly boiled corn and porkburgers cut from a 1 t0 -pound dressed pig that had been turning on the spit since early morning.

Ilensall. received the high average trophy donated by Lloyd Venner, for 500 targets throughout the year. and runner-up was Jamie Caldwell. The veterans trophy was presented by John Anderson to Ivan Orr. He shoots! He scores! hockey? No, trap shooting. The "pop" of shotgun shells filled the air at the Kippen Gun Club on Sunday August 28 as more than 50 trap shooting enthusiasts vied for a number of trophies and prizes at the club's third an- nual Kyle -Cooper Memorial Shoot. The club was established in 1948 by Rill Kyle, Kill Cooper," Lloyd Venner, John Anderson and Pat •Venner on seven acres of land offered by Kyle from his farm on Highway 4 a mile south of Kippen. After Kyle's death his family allow- ed the arrangement to continue. Kyle's grandson Jamie Caldwell is one of the club's mainstays. He and his friend Dan Crerar are usually to be found marking scores. firing off birds, or performing some of the myriad essential tasks necessary for a smooth - :1) 11 l►nn11111111111 The Light Touch By JACK LAVENDER =Don't you sometimes 'Dee' that crime in the Ti streets refers to park- =ing meter charges?

The clubhl _Ise, foi n►erly headquarters of the Ilensall Lawn Bowling Club, was pur- chased in 1950 for $100 and moved with a police escort to its present site for a furth ex- penditure of $25. The membership roster soon grew from an initial 17 to a'peak of more than 50. and -has now settled down to a steady 40. For many years shooters bought member- ships in the social club, local merchants donated prizes for the shoots. and more money was raised at events such as dances. The club now owns one $:3.000 trap and rents another. As it has reverted to private ownership, no membership fee is required. Anyone may drop in for an evening of trap shooting on a Tuesday night, and the only cost is $2.50 for 25 clay birds. This charge off- sets the costs of targets, hydro and the inescapable taxes. "All are welcome - as long as they don't break too many 25 straights!" Venner said, the twinkle in his eye belying the mock seriousness of his expression. The regular Tuesday night shoot draws about 20 people each time, who come from as far afield as Goderich, Guelph and London to the only trap- shooting club closer than Fullerton's or Londesborough's. Jack Mills, from Guelph, whose job selling wholesale auto part brings him into this area every Tuesday, shoots regularly at Kippen. Although he belongs to clubs it Gall and Guelph. his favourite is the Kippen club. "It's one of the best I've ever shot at. and is the friendliest club 1 know of. it has a complete range of ages, all the way from 16 to the 70s, and some ladies". Mills enth;rsed. Two of. the regular lady shooters are Gladys McGregor and Linda Crerar. At first Gladys came to. be with husband Grant. She soon became bored with being a spectator, and started shooting two years ago. When the petite competitor r who is not much taller than some of the shotguns) was asked what appeal Irapslyooting held for her, Gladys replied "it's a way of relaxing with a lot of nice people", adding that before she started shooting she hated guns.

As her skill constantly im- proves Gladys is providing some healthy rivalry for her husband and other male marksmen. "She's giving some of us older ones trouble," longtime member John Anderson remarked as he watched Gladys shatter one target after another. Lindar Crerar had never handled a gun until her mar- riage three years ago. She came at first to accompany her husband Dan and then decided, like Gladys, that you can't beat them unless you join them. On regular nights each shooter has 25 shots altogether, taken in fives from five different stations. At the word "pull" a bird is released from the trap house 16 yards ahead. The caller has no idea whether the target will sail out to the right. the left or straight ahead. All hope to blow the bird to smithereens in a puff of smoke, but as long as a piece of clay 'is knocked off the shooter scores. The Memorial Shoot was in- augurated by Venner as a tribute to two now deceased founding members of the club. The sport obviously appeals to all ages.
