The Parker Gun. 

 PARKER BROTHERS, 



At the Second International Clay-Pigeon Tournament, held at New Orleans, La., Feb. 11 

 to 16, 188.5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, open 

 to all the world, was won by B, Tiepel with a Parker gtm. Among the contestants shooting 

 other guns were .such champions as Carver, Bogardus, Cody, Stnbbs, Erb, and others. Dur- 

 ing the entire tournament more prizes were won with Parker guns, in proportion to the 

 number used, than with any other gun.

 diui; slioiild bo used as shown iu these Guts. H / 



In manv Parker, Colt and other guus, wads of one or two fii ' , 

 Sizes larger than bore o£ shell must he used, as ihu luucr tK i : 

 iliameter of the barrels of such guus is from one-half to : 

 two oalibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing die vry

manner. 



In the aljseuce of Stronger primers than used for Araericau 

 oliells, we advise to put a little black powder in the bottom 

 L the sliell, which will generate about the same initial heat 

 , T a stronger primer and help burning the whole charge of 

 iw.iod Powder, even when not confined as thoroughly as 

 W . P. must be, to give best possible results when used pure. 



IV o, 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. The 

 wads have been rtniimeil down about three-eighths of an 

 mcli with two or three hard blows of a mallet or hammer 

 and a tight flttijig rammiug-stick, until the Wood Powder is 

 piressedluto a solid mass. Theshotis then put on in the 

 ordniary way and shells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 



T) \> to one dram more Wood Powder may be used than black 

 powder with comfort, and increased i^euetratiou and pattern.
