MORE PRAISE FOR ROBIN HOOD! 
The manufacturers of Robin Hood pow- 
der claim it is not a nitro compound, but a 
mechanical composition similar to black 
powder and that it has all the good features 
of both nitro and black, while practically 
free from their disadvantages. I have been 
familiar with nearly all the nitros and have 
tested them both in the field and at the trap. 
When my attention was called to Robin 
Hood I gave it a thorough test, and am 
well pleased with the result. The recoil is 
much less than with most of the standard 
nitros. From the way this powder breaks 
targets there is surely no lack of speed. The 
pattern at 40 yards was splendid and there 
seemed no falling off when the load was 
increased from 3 to 3% drams. No special 
wadding; one card and one ordinary black 
edge gave about the same results as 3 or 
more wads. This powder makes a little 
more smoke than E. C. or DuPont, though 
not enough to interfere with the second 
barrel. Those who complain of the sharp 
recoil of other smokeless powders in light 
guns will find this compound practically 
free from it with ordinary loads. The 
makers claim it is safe in any gun that will 
stand black powder and can be loaded the 
same as black.
