monthly, and they were classified, according to National Skeet Association ratings, and published on a regular basis in the Flying Target, a bulletin of Maritime activities, and another Morrison innovation. It was quite natural that C.I.L. ammunition became the most popular in Atlantic Canada. 'Canuck' paper target loads were the ones sold at every club, and at popular hunting sites the hulls on the ground usually said 'Maxum,' or 'Imperial.'

The influence of the National Skeet Shooting Association was obvious, and many clubs included the $3.00 membership fee with their annual club assessment. With others, like Charlottetown, it was still optional. The Maritime Association followed the N.S.S.A. classification system to the letter, and adhered strictly to their rules with one exception-— the delayed release of targets. They voted unanimously to shoot with the instant release so when, "pull" was called, the target was released. Many Maritime clubs had, within the past year or so, installed the new electric traps, which accented the instant release, as opposed to the wire method which, in effect, gave up to a one second delay.
