Shooting procedure was their next consideration. A 'round', would use a box of twenty five shells, as in trapshooting. Two single shots would be taken from each of the twelve stations and for the 25th shot they would move to a station placed in the dead centre of the circle. At this thirteenth station they would face a target coming right down the spout...a 'trick' shot they called it...a real fast challenge.

When they tried their new layout they were satisfied that they had successfully simulated actual bird shooting. Everything from the flush of a fast upland bird, to a duck moving into a rig of decoys, and they were more than pleased.

Charlie Davies' new game needed a name. It wasn't too long before local friends and neighbors started to enjoy the fun and challenge of, as they called it, "Shooting Around the Clock,"...and the name stuck. The shooters organized themselves, and a new gun club was started near Andover.

As the club grew, and became more active, improvements were made to "Around the Clock." Trap
