Mark Arie's accomplishments:

GAH 1923

Clay Target Championship of America in 1917

Grand American Doubles Championship, 1912 and 1934

Grand American High-Over-All 1912, 1913, 1917, 1918, 1923, 1924 and 1932.

Arie’s first GAH was in 1905

1912 GAH he was using a Winchester pump and won the Double Championship 89/100, Consolation Handicap with 96x100 from 20 yards, and High Average on All Targets - 746x800.

1913 GAH still Winchester repeating shotgun, was high amateur average for all single and double targets throughout the entire program, 733x800 from 18 and 21 yards

The Sunny South Handicap under the auspices of the Houston Gun Club, from January 26 – 31, 1914 he was the leader over all shots with 1140x1205 targets.

From "Sporting Life"

At the Sunny South Handicap, the big six-day shoot at Houston, Tex., Mark Arie, of Thomasboro, Ills., gave another splendid exhibition of his superior trap shooting ability by winning the high amateur average for all targets thrown and also the Sunny South Handicap, premier event of the week. In winning the big handicap event, Arie broke 94 out of a possible 100 targets, although handicapped by shooting from the extreme distance 22 yards. He also made high score over all 1140x1205 94.6 per cent. He was using a brand new, specially built, Marlin hammerless trap gun, D grade (Model 28), which he had never given a real tryout until he started shooting at Houston. Arie made the remarkably high average of 96.17 per cent, on all his registered 16-yard targets for 1913, breaking 1587x1650. Selecting a new gun, for 1914, Arie decided that the Marlin hammerless trap gun was the best gun with which to endeavor to better his remarkably high average of 1913. http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1914/VOL_62_NO_24/SL6224024.pdf

Marlin Trap Gun 3-1-13 http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1913/VOL_60_NO_26/SL6026019.PDF

The Marlin Firearms Company, of New Haven, Conn., has completed its line of 12-gauge hammerless repeating shotguns by bringing out in addition to the standard Grade "A" gun, the new Grades B, C and D, for general shooting and the No. 28T and No. 28T.S., these latter made especially for trap shooting, the two trap guns being advertised in this issue. These guns possess all the good shooting qualities of the Marlin guns that won the high average on combined single and double targets at the Westy Hogans in the hands of A. L Chamberlain, and with which Billy Hoon won the Western Independent Handicap and the G. A. H. Preliminary. The guns are attractive in appearance, the standard trap gun having raised, matted rib barrel and the trap special regular matted barrel, both having straight grip trap stock with large broad butt.

1914 GAH, using his Marlin, he won the Introductory Event with 194x200, from 18 yards.

1914 GAH image 9-19-14 http://www.la84foundation.org/SportsLibrary/SportingLife/1914/VOL_64_NO_03/SL6403025.pdf

Arie tied for the GAH title in 1917 with 98, only to lose the shootoff.

In 1919 he led the amateurs in singles with a .9780 mark on 2,920 targets, an amateur record at the time.

In 1920 that Arie won the individual gold medal in the Olympics with 95x100 at Antwerp, Belgium. He was also a member of the U.S. group that won the team gold medal in the 1920 Olympics. Frank Troeh and Frank Wright were 2nd and 3rd.

"Olympic boys came home conquering heroes" By Wayne Capooth

The American Trap Shooting Team of the 1920 Olympic Games was, at the time, the greatest single group of shotgun wizards ever assembled by any one country. The six-man team that won the gold medal was composed of Mark Arie, Horace Bonser, Jay Clark, Forest McNeir, Frank Troeh and Frank Wright. In 21 shooting events, the most ever held, 13 gold medals were won in shooting, seven by the shotgun wizards.

The last time an American shooting team had competed in an Olympics was 1912. An American team did not compete in the 1908 Games. The 1916 Olympic Games, scheduled for Berlin, were not held as Europe was in the midst of the first world war. However, when 1920 came around, America was rarin' to go, and picked a team that included the world's greatest shots at the time — any time, for that matter.

The 1920 Olympics, held in Antwerp, Belgium, provided a stage for America's great trapshooting stars. They won all the medals, with Mark Arie (95x100) winning the gold, Frank Troeh the silver and Frank Wright the bronze in individual shooting. By breaking straight the last 10 targets, thrown from a multiple of nine traps, “unknown” as to release and angles, Arie did that which European shooters considered almost impossible. No Olympic contestant had ever before accomplished the feat.

The six shooters won the team title with 547x600, 44 targets better than second place Belgium. It was the highest ever made in Olympic competition. Prior to going to Antwerp, the team competed at London, where it won team and individual honors with scores that marked new records in the trap shooting annals of England. It was there that Troeh won the English championship and set the long run record 79 targets higher than the best previous English record by breaking 138 straight.

Leading up to the 1920 Olympics, “the biggest shoot in the country” was held at Clarksdale, Miss. Sid Dodds of the American Trap Shooting Association wanted all the best shots in the country there so he could pick some team members for the Olympic Games. The shooters not only had a chance to go to the Games, but also could shoot for $9,000 in prize money. On the way to Clarksdale, the shooters stopped off for a two-day shoot at Vicksburg. There, McNeir was beat by Frank Hughes, from Mobridge. S.D. McNeir's score was 148x150, while Hughes' score was one better. Also shooting at this event was Charley Young of Greenville, Miss.

There was a difference of opinions as to who was the best shot in the United States at that time. Some backed Arie, some favored Troeh. The shooting average for McNeir was 96 percent on 2,650 targets for the year, Frank Wright had 96.7 percent, Troeh, 97.10 percent, and Arie had an average of 97.60 percent.

At the big Clarksdale trap championship, contested among 26 shooters, Arie, of Champaign, Ill., broke 495x500 16-yard targets; Wright, of Buffalo, N.Y., broke 493; Troeh, of Vancouver, Wash., missed his first two and finished with 490; McNeir, of Houston, Texas, the only shooter from south of the Mason-Dixon Line, missed 13. Dodds chose these four shooters to compete in the Olympics. Each shooter paid his own way: $1,600.

After winning at the Olympics, their trophies were presented to them by the Count Ballet de Latour at his beautiful castle home near Hoogboom, about 12 miles out of Antwerp. Returning home, the ship's captain arranged a “Deep Sea Championship of the Atlantic” between the team members, which Arie won. That night in the salon of the Lapland they auctioned off the last empty shell Mark Arie had shot to win the individual Olympic championship. An England man bought it for 40 pounds.

He used his Marlin Model Model 28 (introduced in 1913) in the Olympic games. The gun and Olympic medals are shown on p. 396 in "Marlin Firearms: A History of the Guns and the Company That Made Them" by William S. Brophy but is mislabeled as a Model 43 which was not introduced until 1922.

Arie decided to give it a try as an industry rep in 1921 but returned to the amateur ranks after one year.

Decatur Daily Review 8-24-21 Chicago, Aug. 24

The American amateur 18 yard championship event was started this morning on the traps at the South Shore Country club where the Grand American trapshooting tournament Is In progress. Contestants are shooting at 200 targets, 18 yards rise. One of the most dramatic as well as one of the most Inexplicable features of the tournament occurred Tuesday afternoon during the shoot-off in the professional championship at single targets. Mark Arie of Champaign, Ill., Olympic champion stood on the traps and watched a target sail into Lake Michigan without pulling a trigger, thus giving Art Killam of St. Louis the title. Each shot two sets of 25 targets in a row. Killam shot his third set and Arie called for the last target, but did not fire at it. He was unable to explain why he had not shot at the target. Arie is a brother of Nic Arie of Kingman, Arizona winner of the amateur singles championship.

He was the first shooter to run 100 straight doubles from scratch when he broke the first 163 in a 200-bird race at the Great Western Handicap at the Denver Municipal TC on July 18, 1926.

Drew, Good information and interesting. Jeff

Great stuff!!!!!! Thanks to the posters!!

Yeah, we're reading this stuff. Thanks, Drew. Bill Murphy

c. 1910 likely on 4th peg

c. 1916

Prior to the Ithaca Sousa SN 274337T shipped 4-14-17 he shot a Daly SBT, a high grade L.C Smith, and Parker AAHE pigeon gun. Eightbore may know where they now reside.

Plinky's Model 21, a million bucks? I doubt it. Sousa's Ithaca is, for sure, in the HOF. I think I know where the Daly is, but I'm not sure. The picture Drew posted is the best I've seen of that gun. If I can get my hands on the gun, this picture will be a big help. Drew, could you email me an enlarged copy of that picture? Thanks. Bill Murphy

The Sousa Parker is a few miles from my house right now in the hands of a collector who outbid me a few years ago at a PA auction. The custodian of my German Wirehair's sister, also a curator at the new and wonderful Marine Corps Museum at Quantico, tells me that Sousa's Smith is in his museum, on loan I think, at this time. I have not stopped in to see it. I offered to place another Sousa gun on loan at the museum, but we have not made those arrangements.

looking at those pictures it seems that trapshooting might not be in such dire straits as some people claim... The older fellows age 50+ appear to considerably outnumber the teens and twenty somethings...

So maybe when the next generation retires, it will just be new OLD faces... lol

Of course with the economy the way it is, the boomers might just be the last generation that actually gets to "retire."

Love all these old pictures. It's amazing they shot so well in those confining clothes, but if that's all you knew you wouldn't know you were uncomfortable. They all still look like the dedicated trapshooters of today except for clothes.

Wonder what year so many starting wearing ball caps?

Anyway, thanks for posting. I really enjoy them.

Plastic wads, eh? Remington brought out plastic hulls in 1960, and by 1962 Winchester was offering a poly wrap around their shot, but not a one-piece wad. Remington was at the forefront of all this, so they probably had one-piece wads (Power Piston) in about '61.

puablo,

Thanks for digging up this old tread for Frank's daughter Kim. I had forgotten about these great old photos you fellas had posted here. Although i do not know of many of the shooters and only heard old stories of the others, they are really neat to see. I especially like to compare how some things are still the same today but then again so different.

Well being only into this sport 3yrs.,it was enjoyable to see some history of trap.Thanks to modern technology I now have photos on my computer.If any object, let me know,I'll delete,I know some were personal but it is a history that shouldn't be forgotten.I just hope,many of you are still snapping pictures.It would be a shame to let the future not know what it was like and or how it has evolved.

Trench12, some one in your pic is trying to shoot someone. The guy in front in the middle has his gun cocked and pointing to the back. About the mid section of the person behind him. LOL.
