Extractions: Archery is one of the oldest arts of ancient times which is still practiced today. From its first development until the 1500s, the bow was man's constant companion and has been the most widely used of all weapons in recorded history. The bow allowed the prehistoric human to become the most efficient hunter on earth, providing him safety, food and raw materials such as bone, sinew and hide. From that time on, archery has played an important role in many of the world's civilizations. Starting with the reign of William the Conqueror, the bow was England's principal weapon of national defense for several centuries. Around the year 1200, Genghis Khan and his Mongol hordes conquered much of the known world employing short, powerful bows. For Native Americans, archery was the means of subsistence and existence during the days of English and later American colonization. Finally, after the bow's replacement by firearms as a weapon of war, archery became a favored sport, thus securing its continuous practice throughout history. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, archery's importance as a cultural advance ranks with the development of speed and the art of making fire. The use of the bow appears in
History Of Clay Target Shooting history of Skeet shooting in Australia Skeet shooting is the it has become a verypopular shooting sport in and has since 1968 together with olympic Games and http://www.synit.net/szctc/history.htm
Extractions: Trapshooting is a sport where a shotgun is used to shoot inanimate targets. A clay target is made of limestone and pitch, it is shaped like an inverted saucer about 4" in diameter and one inch high. It is brittle enough to be easily broken by pellets from the cartridge. The target is thrown by a machine known as a trap, hence the name 'Trap Shooting'. This trap causes the target to rotate as it skims through the air in a horizontal position. It travels to a distance of minimum 45 metres, maximum 55 metres. It leaves the trap, velocity wise, about 50 miles per hour (80 kilometres per hour). Your 12 guage trap or skeet gun fires a shell containing 32 grams of shot which spreads out as it travels towards the target. At 40 yards (37 metres), the shot pattern of some 300 pellets no. 7 shot, will have spread out until it covers a circular area about 30 inches (70 centremetres) in diameter, some odd pellets will have a little wider. The target is usually hit when it has traveled around 30-35 metres from the gun depending on how quick the shooter is. Most targets are shot at from 15 metres behind the trap house.
HISTORY OF SKEET SHOOTING THE history OF SKEET shooting. by the International shooting Union, a worldwide shootingorganization, and the International olympic Committee, producer of http://www.ohioskeet.org/SkeetHistory.html
Extractions: For close to 20,000 members of the National Skeet Shooting Association, shattering clay targets is a way of life...exercise of the body, mind and the soul. Through winter and summer they shoot at millions of targets - breaking most of them - meet new people and travel across the U.S. It all started on the ground of the Glen Rock Kennels in the town of Andover, Massachusetts in 1920. It was there and then that a small group of upland game hunters, including the late C. E. Davies, proprietor of the Glen Rock Kennels, his son Henry W., and the late William H. Foster, all of Andover, were shooting at clay targets as a means of obtaining wing-shooting practice with their favorite upland guns. Their shooting gradually developed into a regular program that gave each shooter the same series of shots so that the competition, which was inevitable, might be even. Originally, the arrangement was a complete circle of twenty-five yards radius with the circumference marked off like the face of a clock. The trap was set at "12 o'clock" and was set to throw the targets over "6 o'clock". The competitive program consisted of shooting two shots from each of the twelve stations. The shell that was left over from a box was used, first as a stunt, to shoot at an incomer from the center of the circle. This later proved to be a shot offering real snap-shooting practice and has since developed into the plan of Station Eight shots of the regulation program.

Extractions: Association History ~ From 1955 and beyond 2000 ~ The Tasmanian Shooting Association was formed in 1955 as the state pistol shooting body and was instrumental in having other Australian state pistol shooting bodies amalgamate and form the Amateur Pistol Shooting Union of Australia (now Pistol Australia ). The National body then affiliated with the Union International de Tir (the world body governing pistol matches shot at Commonwealth and Olympic games) and the Australian Olympic Council, so that Australia could enter pistol shooting teams at the 1956 Melbourne Olympic games. The Tasmanian Shooting Association changed its name to the Tasmanian Pistol Association in 1964, and the Association became incorporated in 1990. The Tasmanian Pistol Association was formed by several pistol shooting clubs within the state joining together with the desire to: Affiliate with other Australian State's pistol shooting bodies and form a national pistol shooting body.

Extractions: Olympic history abounds with tales of athletes who overcame crippling adversity to win gold medals, but Karoly Takacs' comeback may be the best. Takacs was part of Hungary's world-champion pistol-shooting team in 1938 when an army grenade exploded in his right hand. Ten years later, he won the first two golds in rapid-fire pistol - after teaching himself to shoot left-handed. In a sport where the bullseye looks about the size of the full stop at the end of this sentence, a sport where shooters compete amid a cacophony of noise and still concentrate on firing between heartbeats, Takacs' achievement tests the imagination. From just three shooting events at the 1896 Olympic Games to 17 today, the sport has grown steadily. In part this leap can be ascribed to advances in the technology of firearms and equipment, which have led to constant changes in the shooting competition. But it can also be ascribed to the passion shooters have for their sport.

History Of Olympic Game Farm history of olympic Game Farm, Inc. That same land eventually became olympic Game Farm thestudio would be interested in buying some of the film he was shooting. http://www.olygamefarm.com/farmhistory.htm
Extractions: History of Olympic Game Farm, Inc. For most of his life, Lloyd Beebe, the owner, has had a love of the outdoors and a certain awe for the wildlife of this state. He liked to roam in the mountains and became fairly skilled in observing wildlife on its own turf. He worked as a logger, but in the back of his mind he kept the dream of one day owning his own place. In 1942 that dream came true when he was able to purchase a farm and begin dairy farming. That same land eventually became Olympic Game Farm. Dairy farming is a very demanding occupation, so whenever he could find some spare time, Lloyd knew that a few hours in the mountains observing wild animals on their home ground would refresh his mind from the financial cares and physical labor of making his farm a success. To him, this was recreation in its purest sense. Because it became second nature for him to observe wildlife, the thought occurred to him that he would like to share these experiences with others, but taking people into the woods with him could spoil the whole thing. Using a camera to photograph the things he was seeing so they could be shared was the logical conclusion to which he came. This led him to putting his old car up as collateral at a local bank for a small loan, with which he purchased his first camera. From time to time the Beebes had taken in wild animal orphans. In 1947 there were some of those babies being raised by Lloyd and his wife, Catherine, here at the Farm.
ESC History history of the European shooting Confederation. intensively for the development ofthe shooting sport in Europe and proposed during the olympic Games in Rome http://www.esc-shooting.org/info/history.htm
Extractions: European Shooting Confederation The organization of the European Shooting Championships was decided at the Congress of The International Shooting Union held in Helsinki in 1952. It was the merit of Romania to organize them for the first time three years later, in 1955. According to the Secretary General of the International Shooting Union at that time, Karl-August Larson, Sweden, the intention of establishing the championships was to organize them in such a way that the number of participants was similar to those of the shooters who took part in the World Championships before the Second World War. The 1 st European Championships at the Tunari shooting range in Bucharest were contested under UIT control and very successfully organized by the National Shooting Federation under the patronage of the President of the Romanian Republic. It is said that the competitions were at the level of the great traditional championships initiated in 1897. Moreover they brought new important things in the field of shooting sport as official competitions for women and juniors. The importance of these championships also lays in the fact that they contributed to the development of the shooting sport in the World, continuing the tradition of the Olympic events set forth in Athens in 1896. The result lists from Bucharest show that USSR won 12 of 13 team medals and 13 individual medals.
