successful without mixing alcohol and gunpowder, and 
     
     at a special meeting, the idea was defeated 20-2. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Twenty members paid dues in 1963 including first 
     
     timers Albert MacEwen, Bob Petrie, Lester Johnston, 
     
     Bill Rix and Cecil Delong, some of whom would be 
     
     considered token, rather than active, shooting 
     
     members. An effort was also made to re-initiate an 
     
     interest in trapshooting to the extent that more trap 
     
     rounds were shot during the year than skeet. The 
     
     Provincial Championships were held on Dominion Day 
     
     with Ensley Campbell of Summerside breaking 46 targets 
     
     to become the first trap winner in three years. 
     
     Walter Carver won the skeet title for the fifth year 
     
     in a row but this time it was much tougher with Lea 
     
     Windsor losing out in an exciting shootoff after both 
     
     had broken 48 targets. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Because of the policy to randomly sell membership 
     
     cards, shooters were coming one year and going the 
     
     next, and a constant club enthusiasm was difficult to 
     
     maintain, evidenced by the annual meeting called for 
     
     April 8th, 1964, when only Harley Ings and Walter 
     
     Carver showed up. George Carson, a veteran gunner who 
     
     had shot skeet when the Club was at Squaw Point, was 
     
     back on the membership list, as were ten other new 
     
     members. Few would endure, but would take a brief 
     
     interest and then disappear. The Clubs in Summerside 
     
     and Montague had sprung back to life with as much 
     
     active participation as they had enjoyed in previous 
     
     years. These clubs "made" the 1964 Provincial shoot in 
     
     Charlottetown with a large attendance, as lea Windsor 
     
     finally won the skeet title with a strong effort, and 
     
     Ensley Campbell successfully defended the trap. 
     
    
   
   
    
     On October 14th some of the activity at the 
     
     Montague Club was reported by Bob Mills in an article 
     
     called "Sports Shorts" in the Eastern Graphic: 
     
    
   
   
    
     . The Montague Skeet club has had three 
     
    
   
   
    
     or four good shoots and a number of old club 
     
     members are back at the game.
