Roanoke G. C. 
The 1913 shooting season of the Roanoke Gun Club 
came to a very auspicious end on Saturday afternoon, 
Oct. 25, with thirty-six shooters facing the traps for the 
annual “turkey” shoot, one of the fixtures of the club. 
Each year the club purchases twenty live turkeys to be 
put into competition on the last day of the season, the 
same being known as the “turkey” shoot at which much 
keen interest is manifested, this year being no excep¬ 
tion to the rule. 
The shooting season just closed marks another very 
successful year "for the club, and the management looks 
forward to the 1914 season for even greater success. A 
resume of the year’s work just ended is published be¬ 
low, showing the honor men for the 1913 season, the 
scores made, etc.

Hammerless Repeating Shotgun 
16 GAUGE 
This is not a new and untried gun. It is only 
a new gauge of the popular Winchester Model 1912 
—the strongest, safest and most perfect repeating 
shotgun ever made. Sportsmen who buy this gun, 
therefore, run no chance of being disappointed. 
LIGHT BUT STRONG: The 16 gauge is light—weigh¬ 
ing only about six pounds. It has surpassing strength, because 
the barrel, receiver and working parts, except the springs, are 
made of Nickel steel. Its Nickel steel construction, solid 
breech, and its cross-bolt trigger lock make it one of the safest 
guns ever designed. 
EASY ACTING, STRONG SHOOTING: This gun has 
a smooth and easy action, and its shooting qualities are such 
as to please the most critical shooter. Sportsmen who have 
hesitated to lay aside their 12 gauge guns for a “20,” but 
favor a smaller gun than the former, will find the 16 gauge 
just what they have been looking for. 
SPECIFICATIONS: The standard 16 gauge has 
a 26-inch Nickel steel barrel, chambered for 2 9-16 inch 
shells; length over all 44 Yz inches; plain walnut pistol 
grip stock and action slide handle; length of stock 13^5 
inches, drop at comb 1 7-16 inches, drop at heel 2 7-16 
inches; rubber butt plate; weight about 6 pounds; 
6 shots. List price $30.00.

Cleveland G. C. 
Cleveland, O., Oct. 26.—The regular weekly club 
shoot of the Cleveland Gun Club, held yesterday at 
Shooting Park, was not a record-breaker in attendance or 
in target smashing. Capt. Geo. Freeman won the cream 
of the day with 87 out of 100, and it was shooting at 
that, as the targets were a good bunch. Conditions were 
unfavorable for big scores, as the day was dark with a 
brisk north wind, and targets throwing 60yds., that forced 
a man to be screwed up to the highest pitch, and when 
after the shoot was over he felt as if he had been sawing 
wood all the afternoon. Some may like this game, but 
if it is kept up, in time it will clip the wings of a 
great many of the shooters, and the club conditions will 
have more John Smiths and Jones than ever before, as 
poor scores never look good in print. The scores of 
this shoot tell the story of what GOyd. targets will do. 
Look the scores over. Eleven men shooting 100 targets 
each, and only three breaking better than 80 per cent., 
and some of them crackerjacks at that. 
The Cleveland Gun Club will hold its annual Thanks¬ 
giving Day shoot Oct. 25. This will be Tuesday, not 
Thursday. We wish to give this shoot two days before 
Thanksgiving so all can win a turkey. Twenty-three 
prizes will be awarded—thirteen cash prizes and ten 
turkeys—in the regular contest, 150 targets, entrance $6. 
Two specials, 20 targets each, turkey for each five 
entries, so be on hand, as we have arranged to have a 
turkey for everybody. Scores follow:
