So some of you may be a little more older than me (68), Winchester made the Model 12 and 21 in 16 gauge and skeet chokes. So did they have special events for the 16?

"Shooting Around The Clock" was conceived in 1923 by William Harden Foster, who was then editor and chief illustrator of both National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines. The discipline became “Skeet” in May 1926 and was aggressively promoted by Foster.

The NSSA was formed March 20, 1928 and announced in the May issues of National Sportsman and Hunting and Fishing magazines. William Harnden Foster was selected as the first president, and the name of the association and the logo were proprietary to National Sportsman, Inc. of Boston, Massachusetts.

The first Great Eastern Championship was conducted at the Remington Gun Club in Lordship, Connecticut, in 1929 and the 16 gauge was not included in the competition.

At the 1st National Championship in 1935 the 4 gauges were 12, 20, 28 and (2 1/2") .410.
Some time after the introduction of the 3" .410 in 1933 there were two classes: “.410 Long” with 3/4 oz. and “.410 Short” with 3/8 oz. shot.

There was a 16 ga., 50 bird, event at the SXS shoot at Old Hudson recently. I shot a Parker in it, but alas, not good enough.

And remember, a 16 can be shot in a 12 ga. event, if local rules allow.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
