That’s a pristine looking program to be 82 years old.

My inflation calculator says 1100 bucks in 1941 is worth about $22,700 today.

Sportalluring always gets my memory going.

Here is an article where my home club hosted a NY State Shoot.

Old friend Dick Baldwin set targets on the very same trap I started setting when I began in 1961. I have that trap today in my collection.
