By PETER P. CARNEY As the winter fades aw: and the g00d old summer time approaches, our thoughts, turn more and more to the outdoors and the recreations we enjoy most. One of the things that will in- terest every American this year is the Olympic games which run for several months in Antwerp, one of the Belgian cities the' Germans did not destroy This is the first Olympic meeting since Stockholm in 1912. The 1916 games were scheduled for Berlin. You know why they did not take place. One of the things Americans will be most interested in will be the shooting events. We have told the world that we won the war and now we are go- ing to send over some more shooters to prove our assertion. The shooting events take place from July, 22 to 31 and the entries must be in one month previous, so that we should know who will comprise the rifle, pistol and, trap- shooting téams early in June. The shooting events will be held on a spe- cially constructed field at Beverloo, 30 miles east of Antwerp. Conditions under which men shoot at the traps here and abroad are so different that we want to tell you about the differ- ence. Trapshooting in the United States| and Canada consists of a man stand- ing at @ peg 16 yards back of a trap- house with a gun to his shoulder call- ling “Pull,” apd shooting at a clay tar- get thrown at an unknown angle from an automatic trap. The target is thrown about 50 yards. The instant the shooter calls “Pull” the trap must be sprung, or the shooter may refuse to shoot at the target. Positions are changed after every three, four or five shots, depending upon whether the event is at 15, 20 or 25 targets. Five men comprise a squad and a shooter may only use one barrel of the gun, or in other words shoot once at a clay target: . In nearly all of the European shoot- ing parks they have five “expert’ truns and the shooter takes his stand 15 me- tres behind the central one of inh The traps are arranged in a semi-circle in front of the shooter so that he is approximately the same distance from every one of them. The shooter never knows from which of the five traps the target will be thrown. Neither the shooter nor the traps change posi- tion. The direction of targets from each trap is changed, however, after every shot. Two shots are allowed a shooter, which. means that in case he misses the target with the first shot he cn fire the second load immediately. The shooter must keep the gun below the elbow until after the target is seen in the air and then they put it to the Simple way of heating a 5-room cellarless cottage by IDEAL-Arcola Radiator-Boiler and 4 AMERICAN Radiators.
