"Relive the time in America when trap-shooting stars shared newspaper headlines with all of the major sports heroes in the country. Times when every little town had at least a one-trap gun club and thouseands gathered to watch the outcome of live bird matches. Women shot in dresses, men wore neckties, clocks ticked slower and no one was in much of a hurry." This book "guides you through this colourful era highlighting tales and characters mostly forgotten." Many good photographs.
