while Alan Crue was right behind him with a 48. 
     
     Again, it was both the Summerside and Montague members 
     
     who made the shoot successful, but it did bring out a 
     
     new local shooter who scored a 40 at trap and a 32 at 
     
     skeet in his first competition...Edward (Teddy) 
     
     Woodruff would help the Club survive the troubled 
     
     times, and become one of the leading shotgunners in 
     
     Atlantic Canada over the next ten years. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Bill Morrell became the new Club President in 
     
     1967, and prepared the Club for their first full 
     
     shooting season on the Ings' farm at Mount Herbert. 
     
     With clubs operating in each county, a belated need 
     
     was anticipated for an association to govern their 
     
     activities, and, on March 12th, at the Parkdale Fire 
     
     Hall, the Prince Edward Island Trap and Skeet 
     
     Association was formed with Jim Little as president 
     
     and Alan Crue Secretary/Treasurer; both were from the 
     
     Summerside area. Charlottetown's contribution would 
     
     be Harley Ings as Vice-President. With no money, the 
     
     new Association approached the Provincial Government 
     
     and received a grant of $75.00 on the basis of 
     
     organizing a Youth Safety Training and Development 
     
     programme, which ended up being a simple Hunter Safety 
     
     Course for a few of the Club members. For obvious 
     
     reasons the grant was never renewed, but the P.T.S.A. 
     
     did do an excellent job of organizing the annual fall 
     
     Classic, 'The Provincial.' 
     
    
   
   
    
     A new interest in clay target shooting came from 
     
     gunners east of the city, and there was increased 
     
     activity at the weekly shoots held on Wednesday 
     
     evenings and Saturday afternoons, but few of the 
     
     transient shooters elected to join the Club. There 
     
     was certainly more reason for optimism compared to the 
     
     past few years, but circumstances, combined with 
     
     rapidly rising ammunition prices, would make the 
     
     enthusiasm short lived. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The 1967 classic was held on Labour Day, and, 
     
     with badges and good merchandise prizes as the 
     
     attraction, drew a good group of gunners. The 49 X 50
