The Parker Gun. 

 BBO 



At the Second International Clay-Pigeon Tournament, held at New Orleans, La., Feb. 12 

 to 16, 18&5, the First Prize and Diamond Badge in the Individual Championship Match, open 

 to all the world, was won by B. Tiepel ^<dth a Parker gun. Among the contestants shootmg 

 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, ia proportion to th& 

 number used, than with any other gun.

XLUUdl^OClS OI FIZOS POWDER, loaded in the following manner. 



No, 1 represents the exact proportion of a Wood-Powder 

 Shell properly wadded belore the w.'ids Im ve Vieun ranunc.d 

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

 should be tough and hard, aud the same tUicUneit^t of wad- 

 ding should bo used as shown in these Cut.s. 



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

 Sizes larger than bore of shell must be xised, as the inner 

 diameter of thei barrels of such guns is from one-half t' 

 two calibre larger than that o£ paper shells, preventing tlir 

 necessary couflnementand causing half of the charge being 

 thrown out uuburnt. This is the secret of failures to get 

 the desired penetration with AMERICAN 



In the absence Of stronger primers than used fm- American 

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

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

 as astronger 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. Tho 

 wads have been rntnmeii. down about three-eighths ot ai 

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

 and a tight fitting raniming-stick. until the Wood Powder is 

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

 ordinary way and shells crimped d<M^n tightly. For brass 

 shells use wads two sizes larger than gauge. 

 I'p to one dram more Wood Powder may be used than bl it k 

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