Harvey “Prince Mac” McMurchy was a L.C. Smith traveling representative and professional trap shooter who won the first Interstate Inanimate Target (Ligowsky) Tournament held in New Orleans in 1880.
The last GAH at Live Birds was in 1902 and Hirschy, Spencer and Heikes were one, two, three all using L. C. Smith guns. Spencer then changed to a Winchester Repeater and Heikes to a Remington Double then a Remington Autoloader. Live bird competitions of course continued.
The name shooters used the same double gun for both until the SBTs and Repeaters took over Trap shooting.
