Duties of the Referee.— The referee shall see that the traps are properly set at the beginning of the match and kept in order to the finish. He shall endeavor to make the targets conform to the flight and direction in- dicated in Rule No. 7. He shall test any trap upon application of the shooter at any time by throwing a trial target therefrom. He may at any time, and must when so requested by a contestant, select one or more cartridges from those of a shooter at the score, and publicly test the same for proper load- ing. If the cartridge, or cartridges, are found to be improperly loaded, the shooter shall suffer the penalty as provided for in Rule 11. Rule 3. Scorer— A scorer shall be appointed by the management, whose score shall be the official one. All scoring shall be done with ink, or in- delible pencil. The scoring of a lost target shall be indicated by a "0," and a broken target by the figure "1." Rule i. Puller.— A puller, or pullers, shall be appointed by the manage- ment, whose duty it shall be to see that the trap or traps shall be instantly sprung when the shooter calls "Pull," and shall be placed in such a position that the shooter will liave no means of knowing by his actions which trap is to be pulled. In single target shooting he shall pull the traps as decided by a trap-pulling indicator, or other means that may have been provided by the management, so that the shooter will have no means of knowing which trap the target is to be thrown from. Rule 5. Pulling the Traps.— Section 1. Traps may be pulled in regu- lar order from 1 to 3, or 1 to 5, or vice versa, if so decided by the management. Sec. 2. If the shooting is from traps to be palled in regular order, the shooter may refuse the target from the trap not so pulled; but if he shoots, the result must be scored. Sec. 3. If the trap is sprung before, or at any noticeable interval after the shooter calls "Pull," he can accept or refuse the target; but if he shoots, the result must be scored. Sec. 4. If the puller, or pullers, do not pull in accordance to the indica- tor, or other means provided, they shall be removed and others substituted. Rule 6. Arrangement of Traps.— All matches shall be shot from three to five traps, set level, three or five yards apart, in the segment of a circle (see Diagrams A and B), or in a straight line (see Diagram C). When in the segment of a circle, the radius of the circle shall be eighteen yards. In all cases the shooter's position shall not be less from each trap than the rises provided for in Rule 7. The traps shall be numbered from 1, on the left, to No. 3 or No. 5, on the right, consecutively, according to the number used, as shown in the diagram. Rule 7. Adjusting Trap.s.— Section 1. All traps must be adjusted to throw the targets a distance not less than 40 yards, nor more than 60 yards. If any trap be found too weak to throw the required distance, a new trap or spring that will, must be substituted. Sec. 2. The lever or projecting arm of the trap shall be so adjusted that the elevation of the target in its flight at a distance of 10 yards from the trap 4 TRAP SHOOTmO RULES. shall not be more than 12 feet, nor less than 6 feet, and the angles of flight shall he as follows: If three traps are used (see Diagram A): No. 1 trap shall be set to throw a left quartering target.

If five traps are used (see Diagrams B and C) : No. 1 trap shall be set to throw a right quartering target. No. 2 trap shall be set to throw a left quartering target. No. 3 trap shall be set to throw a straightaway target. No. 4 trap shall be set to throw a right 'quartering target. No. 5 trap shall be set to throw a left quartering target. 3/ 3hoobers scwe Diagram A. (See Rules 6 and 7.)

The birds from traps 1 and 5 should cross the line of fligiit of the straightaway bird not more than twenty nor less than ten yards from trap No. 3. TRAP SSOOT^mO RULES. 1 Traps Nos. 1 and 5 shall be set to throw the targets so that the line of flight shall cross that of the straight-away target at a point not less than 10 yards nor more than 20 yards from trap No. 3. Sec. 3. After the traps are set for these angles, if the target for any reason shall take a different course it shall he considered a fair target, provided the trap has not been changed. Rule 8.

Loading Guns.— In single target shooting, only one barrel shall be loaded at a time, and the cartridge shall not be placed in the barrel until after the shooter has taken his position at the score. In double target shooting, both barrels shall be loaded at the score. Cartridges must be removed from the gun before leaving the score. Rule 13. Position of Gun —Any the shooter may adopt. Rule 14. Single Target Shooting.— When the traps are set in the segment of a circle, each contestant shall shoot at three or more targets before leaving the score. If two targets are sprung at the same time, and contestant does not shoot, it shall be declared "No targets;" but if he shoots, the result must be scored. Rule lb.— Double Target Shooting.— Both traps must be pulled simultane- ously, and each contestant shall shoot at three or five pairs, consecutively, thrown as follows: If three traps are used, the first pair shall be thrown from 1 and 2, the second pair from 8 and 3, the third pair from 1 and 3, the fourth pair from 1 and 2, and the fifth pair from 2 and 3. If five traps are used, the first pair shall be thrown from 2 and 3, the second pair from 3 and 4, the third pair from 2 and 4, the fourth pair from 2 and 3, and the fifth pair from 3 and 4.

But if the second barrel be discharged accidentally, it shall be "No targets." Rule W.— Rapid Firing System.— When the traps are set in a straight line and the rapid firing system is to be used, there shall be a screen before each trap on which shall appear the number of the trap, from No. 1 on the § TRAP SHOOTING RULES. left, and each shooter shall stand at score opposite the trap from which the target is to be thrown for him to shoot at. After he has shot at the first target he shall pass to the next score to the right, and so continue until he reaches the end of the score, when he shall return to the score opposite No. 1, and continue as before until his score is finished. If shooters are annoyed, or there is delay in shooting by the smoke of previous shots, the traps may be pulled in reverse order, commencing with the trap on the right. Rule 17. Class Shooting.— All shooting shall be class shooting, unless otherwise stated by the management. Rule 18.

C— If the contestant is interfered with, or balked, or there is other similar reason why it should be done, the referee may allow another target. Sec. 2. When the shooting is at known angles he shall have another target from the same trap; but if the shooting is at unknown angles he shall have another target from an unknown trap, to be decided by the indicator, except it be the last trap, when the shooter has the right to know which trap is to be sprung. In this case he shall have another target from the same trap. NoTB. — When a shooter in breaking- his gun to put in the shells fails to break it far enough to cock the gun, it is considered his own carelessness, and not suffi- cient excuse for the allowance of another target.
