The Interstate Association’s First Annual GAH at Targets June 1900
"The traps were placed inside the live bird grounds, Nos. 2 and 3 being used. At No. 1 score a Magautrap was placed, at No. 2 a set of three expert traps, on the Sergeant system; at No. 3 a Magautrap; at No. 4 a set of five expert traps, throwing unknown angles. Nos. 1, 2 and 3 were arranged on the flat, or underground plan, without an inch of screen in the way. No. 4, the five expert trap set, had a low screen, and the shooting platform was almost on a level with the top of it. At the first three sets the targets were seen almost from the moment they left the traps, coming, as they did, directly out of the ground. This gave a quick sight, but to many men a deceptive one, as they were inclined to fire too quickly, often undershooting. Blue Rock targets were used, and a good, fair flight was thrown at a uniform speed and angle. Owing to the four different sets of traps, each with a different background, the scores were not high." Grand American Handicap at Targets, open to all. 100 Blue Rocks, handicaps 14 to 25 yards: R.O. Heikes, Dayton, O., 22 yds., Remington - 91 “Hood,” Baltimore, 18 yds., Parker - 89 P.H. Willey, Danville, N. Y., 16 yds., Parker - 88 G.O. Henderson, Hingham, Mass., 17 yds., Smith - 88 “Robin Hood” (Charles Young), Young Repeater, 20 yds - 88 H. Landis. Philadelphia, Cashmore, 18 yds. - 88 http://library.la84.org/SportsLibrar.../SL3514013.pdf Guns: Parker- 27, Smith – 13, Remington – 7, Winchester – 9, Greener – 4, Lefever – 3, Scott, Purdey, Marlin – 2 each, Young Repeater, Cashmore, Baker, Richards, Daly, Francotte – 1 each.
