The pop ularity of traipshooting in Pennsyl vania is due a whole lot to the ef forts of Harrisburg shooters.

They won and held a number of championships, and were the origi nators of the Pennsylvania Sports men's Association, one of the strong est and most Influential organiza tions of the kind in the United States. Back in the 80's a number of shooters held contests in Hoffman's Woods, at fields in Seneca street, on North Third and Sixth streets, and at Island Park, then Hargest Island.

The Art of Checkering Gun and Rifle Stocks Many sportsmen find it an Interest ing and pleasant experience to take one of their favorite rifles or shot guns and improve its appearance by checkering the stock or forearm. This is an art in itself and the amateur will And that experience is the best teacher. A good plan to follow in making the first experiment is to take a block of walnut with a polished or sn\ooth surface and draw two lines diagonal to each other. The shape of the diamond produced by the checkering is dependent upon the angle formed by these first two lines. A hand tracing tool with .three parallel scraping surfaces is then used, starting on the diagonal lines. This tracing tool simply marks the lines for flling, after the surface of the stock is still flat but marked with the parallel lines, crossing each other diagonally. These lines serve as guides and the stock is then filed up with a small hand triangular file cutting into the wood to shape up the small diamonds, and the stock is after ward gone over Anally with a file to perfect the shape of the dia monds and raise the small points at the top of each diamond. After this is done a border may be put on with a small hand tool with two parallel cutters. These serve to give a finished appearance to the checkering. Ordinarily the process of check ering the stocks and forearms of factory-produced guns is all hand work and done by skilled help. Al though of course not an unusual operation, it requires ordinarily six or eight months' time to learn; in fact, some operatives are never successful in mastering the trick. The amateur, however, will derive much satisfaction from the experi ence of checkering his own guns and by exercising a little care and patience will be agreeably surprised with the results of his liandiwork..
