"It's men with red blood in th ir veins who take their cracks at th tnicrts and thev more than enjoy 1 themselves. Practice derived from trap shooting benefits the shooter so that h can go out ami knock off the rabbits or quail when th occasion presents ifstdf. What we members want to do is to expand this club ami get this incnsed membership through in any of a number of ways that present thern-slv-s to me. Form Iststing Club.
