This is about as vintage as you can get:
February 12, 1883, “The much talked of Kimble-Kleintz shooting contest took place at the Shooting Park, several hundred sportsmen from all parts of the state being present ... The match was for $500, the Peoria club backing Kimble against the noted Philadelphian, at 100 birds, thirty yards rise, ground trap, each contestant handling and trapping for his opponent and only one barrel to be used.
