     Following the initial Heartz Trophy contest the 
     
     members stayed on to shoot an extra pair of crossing 
     
     doubles with three of the Hyndmans; Fred, Eardley, and 
     
     Al, the only ones to break a pair. It would become a 
     
     habit, following most important matches, to have a 
     
     secondary contest...this not only gave the contestants 
     
     some extra shooting, but it also allowed the members 
     
     not participating in the major event an opportunity to 
     
     shoot, however briefly. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The second round of the Heartz Trophy match was 
     
     held at Belmont two weeks later on March llth. It was 
     
     a bright sunny day, but the gunners would have to face 
     
     a stiff northerly wind, which made the targets jump on 
     
     occasion. John Andrews decided he would not shoot, 
     
     based on his showing in the first match, and despite 
     
     urging from the other members, elected to spend the 
     
     day assisting in the loading and releasing of the 
     
     traps. Considering the wind, the scores again were 
     
     excellent. This time it was Arthur Peake and Fred 
     
     Hyndman who were the leading gunners of the day, 
     
     missing only three targets each. From the scores can 
     
     be seen the problems members were having with the 
     
     crossing shots, and the doubles. These, they all 
     
     considered, were the ultimate test of sharpshooting. 
     
     The scores were much the same as the first match, 
     
     except that some of the positions had changed;
