The Parker Gun. 

 BRO 



At the Second International Clay-Pigeon Tournament, held at New Oi'leans, 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 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. 



Trr Jl J X» X»_» have been won with AMERICAN WOOD 



JtXXlllClI^CClS OX Jt^nZCS powder, loaded in the following manner. 



No. 1 represents the exact proportion ot a 'Wood-Powder ^ 

 Shell properly wadded before the wads have been rammed 

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

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

 ding should be used as shown in these Cuts. 



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

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

 diameter ol the barrels of such guus is from one-half to 

 two calibre larger than that of paper shells, preventing the 

 necessary coufluemeutand causing half ot the charge being 

 thrown out uuburnt. This Is the secret of failures to got 

 the desired penetration with AMERICAN 



In the absence of stronger primers than used for American 

 Shells, we advise to put a little black irowder 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 confined as thoroughly as 

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



No, 2 represents the properly loaded cartridge. The 

 wads have been ranimeA 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 ifi 

 pressed into a solid mass. The shot is 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 than black w- « « 



No. 1. powder with comfort, and increased penetration and pattern. *•
