Mr. Hause in your original post you list a W.A. Hammond among the shooters on the calendar. A friend owns a Parker that letters to him, i would like to get any information that may be available for him. He is in his mid 80's and not into computers. I have searched the name and found a little but nothing on his shooting career. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Not much in the Sporting Life archives. He was from Richmond, VA and apparently did not attend any of the GAHs

Harriet Hammond organized the Nemours Club for women trapshooters in 1913. She was married to Wardlaw M. (Ward) Hammond who was a Hercules Powder rep in 1914. I do not know if they were related to W.A., nor his first name.
