PAGE 4 Feach Section -MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY TRIBUNE AND STAR JOURNAL. Sunday, May 3, 1342 Frank Kelly Trapshooting to Help Bag Jap Planes In this article, Jimmy Robinson compares our American outh with other countries and stresses the need of The correct answer to this, as any trained rifleman would know, Is 23 feet. "I CITE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE OF HOW LITTLE THE AVERAGE MAN KNOWS OF THE LEAD NECESSARY TO HIT A MOVING TARGET, and while the use a shotgun at skeet is not the correct answer for the lead of an airplane, it will point the pilot's mind in the right direction and cause him to have a healthy respect for what it takes to score a hit on a machine crossing his path. The fact that he has to shoot at various angles in skeet with their varying leads is hound to give him a better idea of what it takes to score. Once the aviators receive this training they will eventually be given the opportunity of shooting bursts of machine gun fire at targets towed over water and with tracer bullets so that they will be able to see for themselves just how much lead It takes." THE MAJOR BRINGS OUT THAT THE SHOTGUN IS PROVING TO BE A VALUABLE WEAPON IN THIS WAR.

AVIATORS OR ANY OTHER BRANCH OF THE SERVICE WELCOME THE BOYS WHO KNOW HOW TO SHOOT. We cite the example of Billy Bishop, the famous Canadian aviator in the last war who brought down 72 planes. Bishop was a great shot and here lies his success. Lt. Edward O'Hare, of St.

Louis, who brought down five Jap planes and crippled one, was an expert with shotgun, rifle and pistol while attending Western Military academy at Alton, 111., before he entered Annapolis. THE BOY WHO ENTERS THIS WAR WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT RIFLE OR SHOTGUN IS NATURALLY HANDICAPPED. Frank R. Kelly, former all-American skeet captain, who had no previous military training, is now a lieutenant commander in charge of naval gunnery. Kelly is appointing our greatest skeet shooters as his instructors.

Captain Phil Miller, former captain of the all-American trapshooting team, is now in charge of the air corps gunnery school at Las Vegas, Nev. How do our youngsters compare with other countries? We have 10 times as many rifle, trapshooting and skeet clubs as all the rest of the world. In the United States and Canada alone, there are very few towns that do not have a gun club. We have approximately 8,000 rifle and clay target clubs in this country. Last year, nearly 90,000,000 targets were used at skeet and trapshooting alone, and approximately shells at rifle ranges, vermin shooting, tin cans, etc.

In Europe, we have trapshooting and skeet clubs and live pigeon ranges (where shotgun is used) in nearly every country, but they are located in such places as Monte Carlo and estates where only the rich, who are older, compete. SUCH IS NOT THE CASE IN AMERICA. SKEET IS DEFINITELY A YOUNG MAN'S GAME. Our greatest skeet stars, Dick Shaughnessy, Bobby Parker, Jackie Horton, Max Marcum are youngsters. Shaughnessy won the world's skeet championship at St.

Louis in 1936 when he was 14 years of age. Bobby Parker, 14 years of won the Oklahoma state championship with 200 straight. Therefore, the majority of the American youth, whether he is a skeet shooter or gopher shooter, is going into this war better equipped from a shooting standpoint than any-body in the taking up some form of shooting. By JIMMY ROBINSON Why are skeel and trapshooting being used at the air corps gunnery schools to train our pilots? It is a well known fact that the fliers are now being taught skeet and trap-shooting. Major John Hession, of the Winchester Arms New Haven, who has won every world's championship with a rifle, answers our question in a letter we received yesterday.

He says: "Shotgun practice is the best for train-Dig; our aviators. I believe that attempting to do this work with a rifle would tend to discourage the average gunner; in fact, if I were the instructor I would start my pupils on slow targets with the shotgun, gradually speeding up the traps until they were going at least at normal rate. I would give them plenty of work on variable angle skeet in order to instill in their minds the necessity of leading their target enough. I believe that shotgun Instruction, even regulation skeet, is going tn open the eyes of a lot of flyers who have had instruction in this respect. That is one reason that a great many of our crack skeet and trapshooters, who are well known to you, are now Instructing in these camps.

"I have had the occasion to question a great many aviators as to their opinion of how much deflection a 40-mile-an-hour cross wind would make on the striking point of the bullet at 1,000 yards, using 180 grain match ammunition in a Springfield army rifle. I would have estimates from inches to 18 inches. I well remember George Haldeman, the trans-Atlantic flyer who took a wild plunge and said 18 inches.
