of Auburn, Ills., using exclusively 
Steel where steel belongs” 
FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
MR. LEWIS SHOT AT 6080 TARGETS DURING THE YEAK, AND BROKE 5811 
an average of 95.5S% 
All of this shooting was done with Peters Shells, in large part the Medium Priced Loads. Mr. Lewis is known to trapshooters and 
sportsmen throughout the country as the winner of the Amateur Championship of the United States, at the Grand American Handicap 
Tournament at Dayton, Ohio, in June, 1913. His score in that event—made with the brand —was 195 x 200 from 18 yards. 
THE HIGHEST AMATEUR HONORS IN TRAP SHOOTING HAVE BEEN WON WITH 
THE BRAND 
3 out of the past 4 years 
1913—Barton Lewis shot at 6080—broke 5811—average 95.58 per cent. 
1912—Barton Lewis shot at 4645—broke 4440—average 95.59 per cent. 
1910—James S. Day shot at 4280 broke 4164—average 97.28 per cent. 
Mr. Lewis and Mr. W. S. Hoon, won 
Second and Third respectively, in 
the 1913 Dupont Long Run Trophy 
Contest, both using Peters Shells. 
The evidence pointing to the SUPERIOR SHOOTING QUALITY of the 
® brand is complete. It is conceded that amateur scores, made in competition 
with thousands of contestants, are the most significant and conclusive proofs 
of ammunition quality; and the amateur records of the past few years — 
particularly the year I 913—emphasize the popularity and the success of PETERS 
shells among the rank and file of American trapshooters.

Precautions and Suggestions—Promulgated by Jack 
Fanning. 
For the safety of those taking part in trapshooting 
as well as the onlookers the following precautions should 
be observed and rigidly enforced. A fine should be 
imposed on those violating same, the amount of the 
fine to be posted after each precaution: the said amount 
to be decided upon by the proper commitee in charge: 
No. 1.—Do not place a cartridge in your gun except 
when standing at the firing line in your proper place 
in the squad and with the muzzle of the gun pointed 
in the direction of the trap house. FINE? 
No. 2.—Place only one cartridge in your gun when 
shoring single targets and but two cartridges when 
shooting double targets. FINE? 
No. 3.—When changing from position No. 5 to po¬ 
sition No. 1 at the firing line be sure to have your 
gun open and unloaded. FINE? 
No. 4.—When pointing a gun in the club house or 
or the shooting grounds always open the gun and inspect 
same before pointing. FINE? 
No. 5.—Do not question the referee’s decision. The 
person shooting is the least competent to judge the 
result of 1 shot as the recoil of the gun for an instant 
impairs the vision. FINE? 
No. 6.—Avoid being late getting to your place on 
the firing line. FINE? 
No. 7.—Remain at your position at the firing line 
with gun empty until the last man has finished shoot¬ 
ing. FINE? 
No. 3 .—Do not converse with your neighbor while 
at the filing line nor use any expression that might 
disconcert others in the squad. Loud talking or other 
noises should not be indulged in by other contestants 
or spectators while a squad is shooting so that they 
can hear same. FINE? 
No. 9.—Do not refuse a fair target. In competition 
a refused target is scored or counted “Lost.” The ref¬ 
eree will decide what is a fair or unfair target. 
No. 10.—Do not shoot at an imperfect target in com¬ 
petition. Only whole targets are to be shot at. An 
imperfect target is a “No” bird.
