 few n. 



at various distances and with varying rhargee, and have not only been pleased but astontii 



For simplicity, strength and durability your guns sxirpaet anything I have yet seen ; and I don't hesitate 

 to «ay that mine is a} good, if not the best, shooting gun in this vicinity. Her shooting qualities were 

 severely tested at the shooting match In Augusta, the 25th nit., when she made a score that gave credit to 

 her makers. The breeeh-1-ading guns were required to shoot the enormous distance of eighteen and two- 

 third rods, or SOS feet, at a nine-ii ch ring. There were nine other guns of several noted msxers 

 ground. My gon missed but one shot in four, which was by far the best score made. 



Among the sportsmen present was an agent of one of the above named guns, who came expressly to ad- 

 vertise the same, and had a sample (price $125), the same eise as mine. He fired ten or eleven times and 

 scored two. My gun buried No. 5 shot as deep with four drams of powder as his did No: 2 shot with five 

 and a quarter drams of powder. Some of the guns could not stick their shot. 



Was present at another match in the same vicinity the next day. Shot sixteen rods (68 yards) at a four- 

 Inch ring. There were tliirty-flve fowl shot, of which my gun took twenty-jive. I could have taken a few 

 more, but did not like to appear selfish among strangfrs. My guu was used by four different persons on 

 this occasion. The Augusta sportsmen had never seen the Stevens' gun in operation before, but were free 

 to acknowledge that mine did the finest shooting they ever saw. This is a true statement without any ex- 

 aggeration whatever. I wish you every success in the sale of your arms. 



Yours truly, SAMUEL PACKARD.
