The Parker Gun. 



BROTHERS, 



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

 to 16, 1885, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, open 

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

 other guns were such champions as Carver, Bogardus, Cody, Stubbs, 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. 



Hundreds of Prizes 



have been won with AMKRICAN 

 POWDER, loaded tn the following 

 IVo. 1 represents the exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded befoi-e the wads have been rammed 

 down. No matter what kind of wads are used, the same 

 should be tough and hard, and the same thickness of wad- 

 ding should be used as shown iii these Outs. 



In many Parker, Colt and other guns, wads of one or two 

 Sizes larger than bore of shell must bo used, as the Inner 

 diameter of the barrels of such guns Is from one-half to 

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing the 

 necessary conflnementand causing half of the charge being 

 thrown out uubu rut. This is the secret of failures to get 

 the desired penetration with AMEKICAN

manner.

AGBMTS 



In the absence of stronger primers than used for American 

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

 of the shell, which will generate about the same initial heat 

 as a stronger primer and help burning the whole charge of 

 Wood Powder, even when not conflned as thoroughly as 

 W. P. must be, to give best possible i-esults when used pure. 



No. 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. The 

 wads have been ranime^l down about three-eighths of an 

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

 and a tight fitting ramming-stick, until the Wood Powder Is 

 pressed into a solid mass. The shot la then put on in the 

 ordinary way and shells crimped down tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 



Up to one dram more Wood Powder may be used tlian black 

 powder with comfort, and Increased penetration and pattern.
