This story documents the claybird's evolution in 
     
     this province. It is about the individuals who made 
     
     it happen, their clubs, and their successes and 
     
     failures. The research and documentation, to put it 
     
     all in context, was extensive yet could have missed 
     
     some facts that may be uncovered by future genera- 
     
     tions. It will perpetuate the memory of these gunning 
     
     enthusiasts who contributed to the evolution by their 
     
     participation, making the sports of trap and skeet 
     
     shooting the successful, and challenging, games they 
     
     are today--games that provide a contest of man against 
     
     moving target without extracting a toll of wildlife, 
     
     yet still providing a heart pounding thrill as a fast 
     
     moving clay pigeon is released with the common 
     
     cry......"PULL."
