Make Every Shot Count 
On That Hunting Trip You’re Planning 
A good gun, perfect shells and well 
trained dogs all have their part, but don’t 
forget that it’s the powder that drives 
the shot. Have your shells loaded 
with a powder of well known reliability.

are all brands that have been tried and 
found true by the majority of shooters. 
Their high velocity, good patterns and 
deep penetration are the qualities that 
mean a full game bag for you.

Reducing the Price of Targets and Shell 
is the Key. 
Columbus, O. —Regulating the size of loads, advo¬ 
cating pin-head targets, making the standard distance 
rise 18yds. instead of 16yds., shooting from below the 
elbow, throwing targets from 60 to 90yds., standing on 
one leg, etc., all for the purpose of perplexing the man 
who has mastered the art of knowing where tO' hold and 
Trolds there, will he at the expense of the amateur. 
From careful observation of shooting and shooters, 
and looking this matter square in the face, it must be 
apparent to any thoughtful sportsman that any change 
from present methods whatsoever along the lines and 
theories advanced, will find the trained 95 per cent, 
man at the top, regardless of conditions imposed. Re¬ 
ducing the load to a standardized 3 dram proposition 
would be no advancement. Look at the scores made 
this season from long distance handicaps with 3 dram 
loads. 
The men who are “shooting up” to-day are entitled 
to all they are running away with, considering equaliza¬ 
tion systems, small entrance fcr the day, and distance 
handicap. Where is the amateur getting the worst of it? 
When we used to have all tournaments $25 and $20 per 
day entrance, and a division of 50, 30 and 20 per cent., 
three moneys, the SO per cent, man paid more for 
experience in learning to break them than the amateur 
of to-day. 
Does not the Grand American Handicap show con¬ 
clusively the merit of the distance handicap. In the num¬ 
ber given since its inception, the amateur has been to 
the front and taken his share of the winnings. I am 
for distance handicap and equalization systems where 
money is shot for. Eliminate the money shooting from 
the club affairs and substitute prizes of sufficient number 
so that they all get something toi take home to show 
mother, according to their merit, and you start a gen¬ 
uine sociability incentive that is liable to grow mightily, 
and 80 per cent, men will develop into 90 per cent, be¬ 
fore they know it. Worry about the money has kept 
many an amateur score down. Optional sweeps should 
take care of the “speculators” on the side for $1, $2 or 
$3 per event, and when the day is done all will be 
happy. “No robberies,” reported Sam. “Billy and Jake 
had a little time to take a little human interest in those 
about them,” which helped, instead of the usual, “Gee, 
I pinged 20 straight in event 9; paid me $18.11,” I am 
sure “Jones missed that last target in event 10 on pur¬ 
pose, to fall for second money all alone. I don’t think 
that’s fair.” 
Careful reconstruction and thought along the lines 
of better and more popular tournaments will bring re¬ 
sults in holding the ones we have and in getting the 
new recruits, so badly needed at this time. 
Why do so many we know promise to come out to 
the club and shoot and never materialize? They would 
like to come. I know and you know the game is ex¬ 
pensive for the average shooter. He shoots game and 
would shoot targets. A more popular priced ammunition, 
within the reach of all, and lower priced target would 
double the game’s followers quicker than any other 
remedy. What we want is more shooters, and out of 
the new shooters 95 per cent, men are sure to come.
