himself in a new venture. Nelson Long had studied the 
     
     now famous 'Blue Rock' targets, added a few innova- 
     
     tions of his own, and entered into the manufacturing 
     
     of clay pigeons. His efforts would be enduring...The 
     
     ‘Canadian Blackbird' target set a standard of 
     
     excellence requested around the world, has been used 
     
     in Olympic competition, and, in fact, is used to this 
     
     day at the Charlottetown Trap and Skeet Club. 
     
    
   
   
    
     About one year later the Chamberlin Cartridge 
     
     Company of Cleveland, Ohio, makers of the Leggett 
     
     Trap, attempted to introduce a new moving target game 
     
     to the nation...this one for rifle shooters. They 
     
     built and patented a trap that would catapult a rifle 
     
     ball, approximately 2 inches in diameter, into the 
     
     air, presenting a formidable target for 22 cal. 
     
     ammunition. They expected big things as is evidenced 
     
     by their advertising: 
     
    
   
   
    
     "We fully believe that rifle ball shooting 
     
     will, in time, develop into a game as big as 
     
     trapshooting, and that clubs will organize 
     
     throughout the country, and the consumption 
     
     of rifle balls equal that of clay pigeons."
