Thanks Mills. I think Brother Drew covered that both in his Damascus Knowledge web page as well as contributions to DGJ. I could be wrong about DGJ though. I'll have to check back in my DGJ Readers to see.
I'd love to go to that property with my metal detector and look for that old rusty Expert trap machine. Now that would be a fine display piece for my gun room. There's a lot to know about the history of Skeet and I think I've only scratched the surface as far as that history goes here in Andover but I've always got my eyes and ears open. .

A Parker specific update would be great.
"William Harnden Foster and the L.C. Smith Skeet Special" was in Volume 21, 2010, Issue 4, Page 121. I'd be happy to forward the full size scanned covers to Dean or anyone else; here's another revdoc2@cox.net

Drew, I find no "Skeet" topic heading on your web page... perhaps I'm missing something. Can you direct us to a link for Skeet there?

By the mid-1930s the California boys were unbuttoning their collars --

The original version was called around the clock. 2 shots were fiored at every station each station being like the position of the hour on a clock face. the last shot was fire similar to station 8 coming, directly overhead while standing in the middle. it was changed to the layout we know today to save the space required to shoot it and also for the safety of the growing number of spectators. The name skeet was given by a Scandinavian woman who won the contest for coming up with a name for the new sport It translates to shoot
