I have not found any evidence that Mrs. Davis shot any registered birds in the teens, but W.A. shot off and on in the teens and twenties. In 1917, he shot 2095 birds at an .8625 average. Other years he shot fewer birds, sometimes as little as a couple of hundred some years none. Female registered shooters were scarce in this period. The Grand was held in 1917 at the South Shore Country Club in Chicago so the Davises did not have to go far to attend.
