SOME PRACTICAL TESTS 



The Northampton Rod and Gun Club 

 held its first annual target shoot February 

 22nd. Targets were made to show pattern 

 and penetration. We used good building 

 paper placed on frame 3 feet square, a 30 

 inch circle and bull's eye in center. Back 

 of center a frame supported and held 27 

 No. 50 cardboards, 12 inches square and 

 one inch apart. Comet shells loaded 

 with 3 drams of Robin Hood powder, iYs 

 ounce No. 7 chilled shot, penetrated 16 card 

 boards and made excellent patterns, as did 

 also No. 6 and No. 4 shot, targets being 

 40 yards from muzzle of gun. 



Most remarkable results were obtained 

 shooting fox charges at 60 yards. Comet 

 shells, 3^4 drains Robin Hood, iVs ounce 

 No. 2 chilled ; and with ducking charge of 

 3*4 drams, 1% ounce No. 4 shot. Target 

 12 inches square, No. 50 cardboard placed 

 double thick 3 inches apart. Shot pene- 

 trated 10 boards, entering %. inch dry pine 

 board. 



Every member expressed his satisfaction 

 at the results. There was little residue 

 and no perceptible smoke after discharge 

 Most • of the members present were more 

 or less prejudiced against Robin Hood 

 ammunition before the shooting, but at the 

 close of the tests all voted that another 

 feather be added to Robin Hood's hat.

(The Old Trapper and Trapmaker) 



Fifty years ago this famous old Trapmaker of 

 the Oneida Community would not let a trap 

 leave his hand till he KNEW that it would hold 

 any animal that got into its jaws. Even greater 

 pxins are taken now than then in selecting the 

 finest steel and rigidly testing every part. 



This is why all experienced Trappers insist 

 on having the
