CHOKE BORE GUNS, 



Tried on Game in America. 



Supplied by H. C. Squires, 1 Cortlandt.St. 



NEW YORK. 

 See the Following Testimonials 



Sir— t a pleasure for me to inf im you ol my 

 high appreciation of the 10-lb. Greener breech-load 

 er purchased of you last winter. I consider choke- 

 boring, if skillfully done, as the greatest improve- 

 ment in fowling-pieces since the introduction (}f the 

 percussion cap. It gives the maker complete con- 

 trol of the pattern, and greatly increases penetra- 

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

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

 with 4y s drachms of powder and 1U oz. No. 6 Eng- 

 lish chilled shot, give patterns ranging from 2S5 to 

 830 pellets in 3«-inch circle at 40 yards. The same 

 charge of powder and iy 2 oz. No. 4 American shot 

 gives 160 to 176 pattern, with penetration which kills 

 ducks at 50 to 7 yards like a stroke of lightning. It 

 is a characteristic of the choke-nore to show its 

 greatest superiority in the large sized shot. What I 

 am about to say will perhaps surprise vou as much 

 as the performance surprised me. On trial of tue 

 12-gauge 28-inch modified choke-bore barrels, with 

 3% drachms of powder and IM oz. of shot, I got 

 about the same pattern and spread of shot at 25 

 yards as with the full choke 10-gauge barrels at 40 

 yards, with tremendous penetratiou. This is jnstthe 

 performance required of a gun for thick cover, in 

 which you generally find ruffed grouse, woodcock 

 and quail, these birds being killed, with few exuep 

 tions, at from 15 to 25 yards. 



COL. JOHN BODINE. 



Dear Sir— The guns 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 dont compare in shooting 

 qualities 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 nslng guns of all the most cele- 

 brated makers. CARLISLE, JONES & CO. 



SELMA, Ala. 



The Greener gnn presented by Mr. Squires for the 

 beBt pointer, and awarded to uie, is a close, clean, 

 bard hitter, killing its game at very long distances. 

 It is the second Greener that I have owned and they 

 cannot be beaten. - u win with them at the trap 

 or in the field. S. B. D1LLEY. 



Lake City, Minn. 



Sir— I have a pair oi W. IV. Jreenors oreech- 

 loaders (bought of H. 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. I 

 have repeatedly made long shots, always killing the 

 game clean. At a target both guns made a very 

 evea distribution of the shot, with extreme penetra- 

 tion, w - C- FIELD. 



Sir— The Greener breech-ioaoer I purchased of 

 vou is verv fine indeed, and gives great satisfaction.

CHAMPION FILLED GLASS BALL. 



PATENTED OCTOBER 23. 



MAKE THE FEATHERS FLY WITHOUT KILUNG 

 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 that well-known Sportsman, IRA A. PAINE, to take entire charge of the 

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



They will eventually be the Standard Ball. Out of One Million already sold," not one complaint. No 

 Fancy Price, but a fair profit. Every ball is warranted to give satisfaction. The number of orders from 

 all parts of the country speBk volumes. 



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.

MESSRS. WILLIAMS & POWELL HAVE ORDERED 30,000 OF THE FORMER, AND FORTY OF 

 THE LATTER. THEY WILL BE SHIPPED FOR ENGLAND ON SATURDAY NEXT. THIS, WITH 

 THE LATE ORDER FROM W. * C. SCOTT & SONS, EFFECTUALLY ESTABLISHES THE SUPERI- 



ORITY OF THE 



PAINE FILLED BALLS 



AND 'Emm I*U££EFfc TRAFS, 



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 

 thicknesB, 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 first 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. 

 _ _. itoVKD TRAP (warranted), which will throw a ball In any direotion from the shooter at 

 the option of the puller, is now ready for the market. Price S8.
