This year in addition to the usual spring handicap for a high grade shot gun, and the interclass match, there is a system of rewarding good scores by "qualification pins" in somewhat the same manner as the marksman badges in the militia.

These pins are made in the shape of clay birds and are marked with the initials of the club...
