I was visiting the Houston Gun Club with a friend a few weeks ago and saw a laminated copy of a poster titled "Trapshooting Fundamentals". It's got the basics rules in text down the left side, but most of it is graphics showing an elevation of "Arc of Target Flight", then four rows of the various shooting posts, lead angles, lines of fire, etc. for "16-yard singles", "doubles straightaway first", "doubles right first" and "27-yard handicap".


I took several photos of the poster, but would love to purchase a full size copy for myself as I learn this game. Does this description ring any bells for anyone who might know where I could buy a copy? I have a very similar one for skeet, but the only place I could find the trap version on-line was an item on eBay which has since been removed.

Any help or direction would be very much appreciated!

What you describe sounds like the foldout which accompanied the book "Trapshooting with D. Lee Braun and the Remington Pros", edited by Robert Campbell. The book was copyright in 1969 by Specialized Publishing Co. and is listed as "A Remington Sportsman's Library Book". Amazon lists CD copies of the book starting at $21 and shows a paperback that looks to be in as bad a shape as mine for $25. The CD would not have the foldout, which is a 22.5 in square sheet. There is no mention of a foldout being included with the paper back book. Remington may have offered the foldout in a larger form for wall mounting. If nothing can be found on the Internet, you might contact Remington to see if copies are still available.

Good luck with your search, Pat

Update - I went to eBay, searched for D. Lee Braun, and found both the poster and the book it came from. I told the guy who's teaching me, and his response was "oh H*** yes, get the book!" :3a: So it's on its way.

Thanks, everyone!

plagiarism - the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

Reprinting/copying the chart is not plagiarism. If it is copyright protected there would be an issue. If not, then it is fair game. Is it any different then the people that reprint old gun manuals or hang tags?

And if the copyright has expired or surrendered which they do, just like patents, no problem duplicating.
