I looked up Mr. Byrnes in old teens era Interstate Association records and found that he did not shoot competitive trap from 1913 to 1922. However, you never know who you're going to find in these old records. In 1913, Augie Busch actually shot 200 Interstate Association targets and broke 127 of them. I wonder what kind of gun our Budweiser brewer shot? E. Anheuser also shot 200 targets that year and broke 184. A whole flock of shooters with St. Louis addresses shot 200 birds in 1913, so my assumption is that Augie sponsored a shoot for his employees and bought them all an Interstate Association membership. I would love to find a report on that shoot. How about it, Drew?
