FACTORY LOADED SHELLS 
MR. LEWIS SHOT AT 6080 TARGETS DURING THE YEAIA, AND BROKE 581! 
an average of 95.58% 
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 
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 l 913—emphasize the popularity and the success of PETERS 
shells among the rank and file of American trapshooters.

The second series of club team matches is about con¬ 
cluded, the shoot at the Brandemour Range on Janu 
ary 28th, being the seventh, and the best attended of 
them all. The Blue Team mustered the most men, ten 
showing up at range to nine of the Reds. The former 
team won the match by 272 points. The Reds however, 
got high individual honors, E. H. Thompson scoring 
171, placing all but three of his twenty shots in the 
black. His third target had a nice group totaling 
46. Stevenson, of the Blues, was high on his team, 
and second high for the match with 165, tying with 
Thompson for high five-shoot score. Eustis used his t5 
automatic again to-night, improving on his score of 
the previous week by ten points; with his handicap 
of 4, allowed for service ammunition, his score was 
144. The Blues are 782 points ahead in this series, 
and will enjoy a dinner furnished by the Reds. High 
scores in series have been made by A. H. Kenan, i^s 
and 172; with Thompson and Col. Hake, of the Reds, 
coming next on 171 and 170, respectively.
