2 Million Shells Will Be Fired

VANDALIA, 0. Aug. 18 (UP) ~—Cries of “pull” rang out amid the steady crack of shotguns as the nation’s best scattergunners warmed up today for the 51st Grand American trapshoot. A record field exceeding the 1600 entries in last year’s “roaring grand” was expected to be chanting “pull”—the signal for a clay tary air—during the next nine days at the home of the American TrapShooting Association, sponsor of the annual shooter’s festival. Following preliminary shoots today and tomorrow and the big 200 target Dayton championship on Sunday, the grand starts Monday with a special 200-bird introductory shoot. The Grand American Handicap, the World Series and Kentucky Derby of trapshooting, will be staged next Friday. It's a shotgun free-for-all in which the winner may walk off with more than $10,000 of the $50,000 in prizes and trophies to be awarded during the week. Tournament Manager Ray Loring assured the shooters yesterday there would be plenty of shells for the week-long event, despite the Korean War. More
