Locally the trigger pullers are looking forward to the holding of the California-Nevada State Tourna- ment in this city—probably under the auspices of the golden Gate Gun Club. With railroad fares cheap during the Panama-Pacific International Exposition this shoot ought to draw 300 shooters and over. The past year has been a lively one among the Coast trapshooters, from the northern to the southern border lines. California stands seventh, in the list of States, for the cracking of clay pigeons during this year in registered shoots of the Interstate Asso- ciation, as follows: Ohio 443,535 targets (including the Grand American Handicap at Dayton), Pennsyl- vania 392,060 targets, Iowa 330,980 targets, Illinois 289,835 targets, New Jersey 192,045 targets, New York 183,315 targets, California 167,000 targets. The Dominion of Canada is credited with 253,360 targets during 1914. The standing of the Coast States is the following: California 167,000 targets, Oregon 100,575 targets (in- cluding the Pacific Coast Handicap), Washington 79,630 targets, Idaho 61,485 targets, Montana 40,025 targets We will mention incidentally that James Drumgoole, a popular Anaconda trap shooter, re- cently won the round-trip ticket prize to the Ex- position, put up by the Anaconda Gun Club. His total was out of 2,000 birds. Nevada used 32,485 targets. Utah 28,220 targets and Arizona targets. California's showing for the past year is therefore a most creditable one, particularly when it is taken into consideration that many thou- sands of clay pigeons were shot at in numerous regular gun club monthly shoots and unregistered tournaments.
