EDITOR'S NOTES (continued)

One club sent a trap candidate to a Referee Examiner for testing, BUT, as the candidate was not a registered shooter and thus was not receiving the publication, A.C.T.A.

Referee Exami- ncis are-entirely honorary and both clubs and shooters alike should respect this situation, and read and cxecutc Rule 45 to the-common good.
