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
