The Boise Gun Club shot an airmail letter to The Spokesman Review Sunday night and became the 29th club to enter the 25th annual Inland Empire telegraphic trapshoot for The Spokesman-Review trophy.

Postmaked at Boise before midnight Sunday, the letter put the club just under the deadline for entries.  Yakima was next to the last, sending their entry by wire.

22 Teams Enter

With the list closed it was found that 29 clubs will shoot as 22 teams which means every Sunday will see at least two matches per club and some Sunday’s three.  The schedule will be drawn immediately and published in th Spokesman – Review on Friday.

In the meantime telephone officials are busy getting the times for the reports by the clubs straightened out.  Club governors are the contact men between The Spokesman-Review sports desk and their clubs.  It is essential they be on hand at the time allotted, for the mechanics of a shoot the size of this one calls for smooth running.

Committee is Named

The governing committee, which will be the one to pass upon any protests which may be filed, has been selected.  To date this committee has always bee an honorary one and has never had a real protest to consider.  Here are the members of the Silver Jubilee Body:

Twenty-six gun clubs, shooting as 21 teams are already in the 24 annual Spokesman-Review telegrphic trap shoot, which starts on its dash for title honors a week from tomorrow.  Deadline for entries is noon on Monday.

The Cheney Gun Club, which had been expedted as an entry, made its regrets yesterday and said it would be unable to shoot this year.  It is a recently formed organization and, to date, has been unable to get enough experenced men to warrant making the run.  It said, however, it wanted to be the first in the field for next year’s silver anniversary shoot.

The Boise Gun Club, which has been absent from the shoot for some years, sent in its entry yesterday and Wenatchee, one of the faithful, also came along with Butte.  The Colfax Gun Club, a newly formed group, completed the quartet to get aboard.

With the addition of Colfax three new clubs are in, Coeur d’Alene and Hamilton, Mont., being the others.

Starting January 15th, 2012 the Boise Gun Club is proud to announce that youths (18 & under) can now buy a round of targets at just $3.00 per round. Boise Gun Club is committed to youth shooting and this is one way we can help.
