The "Standard Target."— For Rifle Practice. 

 Size inches. Bulls-eye 14- inches. Range, 100 

 feet, off-hand. The zones rise by area instead 



Marksmen will appreciate the new departure 



which this t ; ■ ■,,.:■ I urated. The accurate 



rifleman now ie value of his shots, 



while on old-stvie tuivcts i he record was so taint- 

 ed by the element oi chance as to give but a 

 vague idea of the spooler's skill. For instance. 

 ■in t ai I I reedmobra " center," scoring 4 

 hastentinie i e i"-.- - : -'bull,'! sooring-6. Every 

 rifleman knows that no degree of skill or care will 

 give immuniu 'from occasional misses, and un- 

 der the old system it was al most the rule for good 

 marksmen to be beaten by oad ones. One man 

 would pile up eight, snug bulls out of ten, but. 

 lose the other two, whip.- his competitor, snoot- 

 ing for funis" would scatter his strays all over 

 the board center, blunder one shot into the edge 

 of the bull, and win ! Now in deer stalking, and 

 shooting at 80 yards, the winner would have 

 wounded unci lost one deer, while the loser would 

 have struck down eight, all shot through the 

 heart. Of course there, are people who still con- 

 tend that undo; the old methi .a " all had an equal 

 chance ; " which is very true. But it is also true 

 that their equality of chance would have 

 been in no wise impaired if they should have sat 

 down and tin 1< teimine who was the 



better shot. In contests of skill every element 

 .v.,,-,' st Id be eliminated. 



Arrangements have been made for supplying 

 these targets at a merely nominal price, and it .is 

 now an can.' . ■ to "-'oi'. n ative skill by 



uniform practice, and to communicate definite 

 results without obscuring them by explanatory 

 details. The cartels ate mailed, nost-paidto any 

 address in the United states at tifty cents per 

 hundred, and quite a liberal discount is made to 

 galleries an 1 1 dealers, acini orders to CbSSONS,

Beck's Patent Clay Birds and Trap. 



Pronounced by all Who Have Seen it as the Beat 

 Substitute erer Invented for a Living Bird. 



'_ Flies like a live bird ; is as hard to hit asa live bird; 

 affords as good practice as live birds, and at a nominal cost. 



The bird is made of clay, burned hard, and breaks when hit 

 with shot. 



Our Trap will throw the Clay Bird further than an v trap will 

 throw a ball; keeps it in the air longer, ami gives the shootor 

 plenty of time to cover. In using these birds you secure 



Better Practice than Glass Balls Give, 



And avoid the many objectionable features of balls. 



Give them a trial, for you are sure to be pleased, and you can'' 

 invest a small sum of money to better advantage.
