To highlights of the annual convention of the German Hunting association div held at Goslar in the har mountains of lower Saxony accented conservation and preservation of game rather than its Harvest by  anxiety was expressed Over the destruction of Small game hares rabbits Partridge and pheasants by the machinery of careless Farmers who fail to realize that game Birds live off sucking insects that Are harmful to crops. Mowers that decapitate hens nesting in Hay Fields or which crush clutches of eggs can reduce the Bird crop to a Point where the insects take Over it was argued. Leading speakers who represented state level clubs from nil of West Germany urged that local Hunting lease owners and state foresters Contact Farmers on a move frequent personal basis and to educate them from the standpoint of game conservation As Well As better crop management. It was also suggested that school children be educated in the same manner and encouraged to report the discoveries of broken nests and dead game so that a More accurate account of damages could be taken be taken. Another interesting discussion evolved around Sheet shooting. Most German scatter runners feel that the income station 8 should be eliminated from both High and Low House because no real Hunter would Ever take a shot like that at a flying Bird and because the German Type Hunt shoot contest is fired from positions and at target used in actual Hunting conditions.

They feel that a Good trap shooter could score the highest aggregate even though he did poorly on the four life size game targets with scoring rings numbered Zero to 10. They argue that out of a possible 350 Points for the whole course the Good trap shooter who must attempt to powder 30 Birds could gather 150 Points if he went  a poor trap shooter but excellent Rifleman might score 50-46-49-47192 on the game targets and maybe a miserable 15 out of 30 Birds for 75x150 for a total score of 267x350. Then along comes the trap shooter with his 150, plus 40-40-40-40160 which gives him a fat 310x350 which is hard to beat.
