(CP)-- Canada's finest skeet shooter was introduced to the sport at the age of 30 during a fit of boredom while serving with the RCAF at Goose Bay, Labrador. Barney Hartman, holder or co-holder of six world records, recalled the occasion during an § interview in the trophy-packed & - den. of his bungalow in this % Montreal suburb "T had an airman friend at the U.S. base in Goose who was interested in shooting. One day we were looking for something to do when we found a building on the base with 40,000 clay targets. The U.S. bomb dump § was full of 12-gauge shotgun * shells." ' So they built a shooting range His first day out Barney pul- verized 17 of 25 birds and "was hooked." Up to that time his only ex- perience with a shotgun was shooting ducks on a Prairie farm as a boy. He improved quickly and when he entered his first shoot in 1949 at Halifax he shot 99 out of 100 birds to win| the open and closed titles In 1950 he started competing in small meets in Ontario and Quebec, and since 1954 he has been participating in all the big- time competitions LEFT RCAF using the 12, 20 and .410 gauge| Hartman, a squadron leader) syns.
