The International Championship at Live Birds 
WON WITH 
WINCHESTER 
FACTORY LOADED "LEADER" SHELLS 
This highly important event, which is annually sought by the best shots of America, was the principal match of the Second Grand Sportsman's Handicap, which 
was held at Detroit, Mich., Feb. 15-16-17, there being in all 26 entries. Mr. R. R. Bennett, of Pittsburg, Pa., won with the score of 24 out of 25 birds, from the 
30-yard mark, receiving the Oilman & Barnes Trophy, which is the emblem of this championship. The weather conditions under which this match was shot were 
severe chough to test the eye and nerve of the greatest expert — and the experts were there. This, of course, reflects great credit upon Mr. Bennett's skill, but — 
suppose he had used unreliable cr inferior shells? Skill in shooting is of Uttte avail if faulty ammunition is used. Mr. Bennett looked out for that part of it, and 
supplied himself with the best shells he could buy so as not to take any chances; in other words, he used Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, which are unequalled 
for reliability, pattern, penetration and killing qualities under any conditions. Winchester Factory Loaded Shells were also used by Alec Tolsma, who won high 
average the first day; and by Chas. Spencer, who won high average the second day with a straight score of 25 birds, which was remarkable under the circum. 
stances. If you are not satisfied with your shooting, the trouble may be with your "load." Next time you shoDt, change to Winchester Factory Loaded Shells 
and you will never change again; for they are 
THE SHELLS THAT WIN THE TROPHIES AND THE AVERAGES TOO
