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.
