PULL! . . . by Dick Miller(Continned from page 36)signments. If he covers your trap or skeetshoot, in the great majority of insta nces, itwill be on his own tim e, and to the tune ofsta tic from his wife and youngsters. A num·her of well-known sports and outdoor writershave told me th at th ey welcome shoot reoport s fr om gun clubs, and have asked meto spre ad the word . To make sure tha t theshoot reports get printed, here's how th eywant th em:A shoot repor t should be ma iled on the da yof the shoot, or next day at the latest. Newspapereditors ha ve strong feelings regardingthe timeliness of news. A shoot report receiveda week afte r th e shoot smells to themab out as appetizing as the fam ily ga rbagea fter the same period. Wh en the report iswr itt en in shooter's lan guag e, the newspaperis spared the embarr ass ment of th e goofsmen tioned earlier. Sports editors have th esuspicion th at an accou nt of an event whichsays simply that J oe Blow broke 98, HenrySmo broke 97, and Hiram Horsefeatherbroke 96, fail s to ra ise read er's pulses. IfHenry Hor sefeather broke his 96 whilehitched ta ndem with a gray mul e who hadone pink ear, thi s should be mentioned.P ictu re s help any shoot story-and theyshould arrive with the story, properly ident ified. In ma ny cities, arr ange ments may bemad e with the newspaper to develop th efilm. When this is tr ue, simply send th e un exposed film with the story.And, please, no pictures of wooden In di ans, with expre ssions on th eir faces whichgive th e impression that the whole businessis very depr essing. If you must line up th etroph y winners as if facing the firing squad,ask them to smile. It 's the brave thing to do.H you include pictures of trap and skeetshooters holding guns, please ask th e subjectsto hold the guns in an approved safefashion. Trap and skeet shooters ha ve pil edup an amazing safety record. Th ey didn'tacco mplish th at enviable record by carelessgun han dlin g.Some of the comments concern ing newspaperpublicity for trap and skeet eventsapp ly to thi s column. From th e day th at Ifirst walked on a field where clay targetswere being shatte red, I have hear d pitifulmoans of anguish an d pain calling for mor enational magazine publicity for th e sports.<strong>GUNS</strong> magazine ha s seen fit to ad d thi s trapand skee t column. The editors of <strong>GUNS</strong> aregiven to lar gesse and philanthrop ical tend encies,bu t withal they do not pay me enoughfor this column to support my fami ly. If Imust play detective in ord er to ferret outshooting news, this "Pu ll" column wiII probablyturn out to be a littl e jerk instead ofa good, strong "p ull." If you, the shootersand gun clubs, will give out with the storiesof your achievements, your human interestshooting angles, and some photographs ofsame, we'll all be hap py. And, who kn ows, wemay sell other <strong>GUNS</strong> read ers on join- ~ing us at the gun club. ~• San Diego, Calif.
