CHOKE-BORE 



MATCH. 



r W. W. GREENER begs to Inform his numerous 

 patrons in America that his gun has again come off 

 victorious at llie great match of Choke -Bores Va, 

 Cylinder Bores, at the London Gun Ciub, on May 53, 

 beating seventeen of ihe best shots ia Great Britain 

 who used guns by the best London makers, viz. : 

 Pour made by Grant, three by Purdy, three by 

 Dougal, one by Lancaster, Boss and others. 



[See London Field, May 26, hditorial Remarks.] 

 "Mr. Cholmondle? f'ennell, the winner of Mr. 

 Purdey's massive titty guiaea cuo, weighing over 91 

 ozs., for the highest score, shot wonderfully well, 

 killing all his birds at 30 yards with the first barrel. 

 The gun lie used was a full choice, by Greener, of 

 Birmingham. The result of the trial served to show 

 the superiority of the choke at the long range, Mr. 

 0. Peanell cutting down his birds in a marvellous 

 way with his heavy Greener."

See the Following Testimonials* 



Sik— I a pleasure for rne to inf nn you of inv 

 high appreciation of the ut-lb. Greener breech-load- 

 er purchased of you last winter. I consider choke- 

 boring, if skillfully done, as the greatest improve- 

 ■:,■'"_' .■ .■■".■-■J luce the introduction of the 



percussion cap. It gives the maker complete con- 

 trol of tiie pattern, and greatly increases penetra- 

 tion. To prove this, I will give you the performances 

 of this gun. The 32-inch 10-gauge barrels, charged 

 with -Hi drachms of powder and 1% ox. No. 6 Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from SSS to 

 33" pellets in 3C-ineh circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder and \y % oz. No. 4 American shot 

 gives IGj to nr> pattern, with penetration which kills 

 ducks at 5 1) to t yards like a stroke of lightning. It 

 is a characteristic of the choke-uore to show its 

 greatest supcriority.in the largo sized shot. What I 

 am about to sa y will perhaps surprise you as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of tne 

 12-gauge 25-inch modified choke-bore barrels, with 

 314 drachms of powder and 1.'4 oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 yards as with the full choke lo-gaugc barrels at 40 

 yarda, with tremendous penetration. This is just the 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally hurt ruffed grouse, woodcock 

 and quail, these birds being killed, with few excep. 

 lions, at Iron u. to 'io yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 



Deab Sin— The gnns arrived all right. Wethink 

 these last guns you have sent us will place the 

 Greener guns ahead of any other in this country, as 

 guns of other makers don't compare In shooting 

 qua lues with them. We unhesitatingly recommend 

 the Greener as far superior to any gun of foreign or 

 domestic manufacture that we have seen. We say 

 this after seeing and using suns of all the most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO. 



SeLma, Ala. 



The Greener gun presented by Mr. Squires for the 

 beat pointer, and awarded to me, is a close, clean, 

 hard hitter, killing its game at very long distances 

 It is the t-econd Greener that I have owned and they 

 cannot be beaten. „ a v/'m with them at the trap 

 or in the field. S. B. D1LLEY. 



Lake City, Minn. 



Sir— I have a pair ot W . W. Jreene^r s oreech- 

 loaders (bought of II. C. Squires, of New York), 

 modified choke-bore. I have had an opportunity to 

 test these weapons on birds heavily feathered, and 

 where great penetration was essential to success. 1 

 have repeatedly made long slims, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very 

 eve's distribution of the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion, K C FIELD. 



Bl»— The Greenev breech-loader I purchased of 

 you is very line indeed, and gives great satisfaction.

 MUCH NEEDED. 



THE BIRD-SOMETHING 



The Bohemian Glass Works having made a specialty of the manufacture of Glass Balls for Trap Shoot- 

 ing for the past year, and having facilities for manufacturing cheaper and better than other establishments, 

 have secured the services of i hat well-Known Sportsman, IRA A. PAINE, to take entire charge of the 

 production of his new patent Feather Pilled Ball, which we hold the exclusive right to make and sell. 



We can give the sportsmen of America no better proof of the superiority of these balls than that W. 

 & C. Scott & Sons, after examining every ball in the market, have ordered 2,000 to be sent to England. In 

 no instance where it has been exhibited has It failed to take the place of all others. 



Every ball is weighed and examined, then packed with the greatest, care, in barrels of 300. 

 Send for price list. Special Inducements to the trade.

Bogardus' Patent Rough Glass Balls 

 and Glass Ball Traps. 



These Traps are the only ones that give satisfaction, as they are simple of con- 

 struction, easily set, and not liable to get out of order, and they throw the ball In 

 a manner that more closely resembles the flight of a bird than any other trap in 

 the market. The Patent Rough Glass Balls are made of uniform weight and 

 thickness, and have a corrugated surface that strengthens the ball for shipment 

 to any part of the country, prevents the glancing of shot, and thereby Insures the 

 breaking of the ball when hit. 



CAPTAIN BOGARDUS was the Orst to introduce the ROUGH BALL, and at a 

 price far below the smooth ball at. that time. 



Balls and Trap can be ordered through; all Gun Dealers. Liberal discount to 

 the Trade. 

 .... koVKD TltAP (warranted), which will throw a ball in any direction from the ahooter at 

 the option of the poller, is now ready for the market. Price §8.
