The ordering of a trap was left up to their good 
     
     friend Thomas Dodd who, they felt, would obtain a type 
     
     Suitable to their requirement. Getting clay targets 
     
     would be another situation. George Ligowski's 
     
     revolutionary clay birds were only beginning to show 
     
     up on the market in Canada and were not plentiful. 
     
     With the club requirement, Thomas Dodd also ordered a 
     
     couple of baskets of clay targets through a Halifax 
     
     distributor for his hardware store, Dodd & Rogers, 
     
     located on the corner of Queen and Grafton streets. 
     
     The clay targets were shipped in straw lined baskets 
     
     of 100, and, despite long shipment, and considering 
     
     their potential to break, would arrive in surprisingly 
     
     good condition. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Other discussions at this first meeting covered 
     
     membership, shooting yardages, and rules. On the 
     
     subject of membership, and to make their club 
     
     exclusive, they would set a limit of 16 members. 
     
     Before the session was over six more names had been 
     
     added to the club roster: Fred Peters' brother, 
     
     Barrister Arthur Peters; Bank of Nova Scotia Manager 
     
     George MacLeod; Barristers Eustace Haviland and 
     
     William Forgan; and two gentlemen named Halroyd and 
     
     Tweedy. Yards rise, or the distance from the shooter 
     
     to the release trap, was discussed. Since they would 
     
     not shoot in accordance with the now standardized 
     
     trapshooting format, they agreed the rise would be 
     
     established on the day of the shoot, but it would not 
     
     be less than five, or more than twenty yards.
