Model 28, 12 Gauge, Hammerless, Take-Down 
Here’s the best repeating shotgun made. It’s a fine appearing, beautifully-balanced gun, without 
any objectionable humps or bumps; it has every up-to-date feature and many exclusive advantages. 
Standard grade guns (No. 28 A, No. 28 B, No. 28 C and No. 28 D) have pistol grip stock; straight grip 
furnished on special order. They have a neater frame, more finely modeled buttstock, better 
lines and more style than any similar gun. 
No. 28C, Grade “C” 12 Gauge, Take-Down, Matted Barrel, 
6 Shots- Weight about 8 lbs. Price,. 
C, The Model 28 hammerless trap guns provide 
every trap shooting requisite, in the best designed 
“pump gun" ever placed on the market.

matted on top for its entire length and unequalled in shooting 
ability. Buttstock and forearm Circassian Walnut, finely 
modeled, with London oil finish, fine hand checking, bottle 
comb, large broad butt with hard rubber buttplate. Action 
parts highly polished for smooth operation. Regular butt¬ 
stocks have straight grip; this grade made to order without 
extra charge, with straight or pistol grip stock, any length 
and drop within reasonable limits. 
C. No. 28 T.S.— Provides at moderate cost a gun just right 
for the average trap-shooter. The barrel is handsomely 
matted on too for its entire length, giving a dull streak which 
prevents reflection of light and gives a quick, clear sight. 
Buttstock and forearm of American walnut, finely checked: 
buttstock 14 inches long, 1% inches drop at comb, 2 inches 
drop at heel (as in regular No. 28 T), with the large broad 
butt which covers more of your shoulder and keeps the 
shock of the recoil down to a minimum.

The second of the series of Jack Rabbit shoots was 
held on March 16. The attendance was not up to ex¬ 
pectations, owing to the stormy weather, and most of 
the events were shot in swirling snow squalls, which 
nearly hid the targets from view. Among the out-of- 
town shooters who were not kept away by the weather 
v/ere J. R. Taylor, Columbus; R. H. Bruns, Brookville, 
Jnd.; H. Sundy, Williamsburg, O.; Ike Brandenburg, 
Dayton; Sam and P. Leever, Goshen; Dr. Maddox, Har¬ 
rison, and E. Bittner, Mt. Healthy. The program was 
at 100 targets, in five 20-target events. High score was 
made by J. R. Taylor, who missed but 2 targets in the 
last 40, and finished with 92. E. Bittner, Mt. Healthy, 
and John Schreck tied for second place on 89, the latter 
being the only shooter to go straight in any of the' 
events. 
Supt. Cambell, of the Cincinnati Club, shot in good 
form, and went out in third place on 87. In the team 
match between the Northern’s and Cincinnati, the former 
took the lead in the first round, 49 to 47. In the second 
round they added 7 targets to their margin, and increased 
their lead in each subsequent round, going out with 13 
targets to the good on a score of 252 to 239. High in¬ 
dividual score of the match was made by Schreck, of 
the winning team, witli Cambell a close second on 87. 
'i.'his victory gives the series to the Northerns with two 
wins to their credit, one of the four matches being a tie. 
The program was started about 10:30, and was fin¬ 
ished in good season, leaving time for several special $1 
sweeps, at 25 targets each Money divided 60 and 40 
per cent, in each event. Maddox scored 20, 20 and 22; 
Smith 23, 20, and 20; Cambell 19, 22, 22; Bruns 22, 22; 
Hammerschmidt 23, 20; Ford 23, 23; Richards 20, and 
Bittner 18. 
A couple of 25-cent miss-and-outs ended the day’s 
sport. Cambell dropped out on his first target in the 
first event, and won the second on 17. Hammerschmidt 
was high in the first with 10, and broke 4 in the second; 
Maddox 9 and 16; Ertel 3 and 0; Smith 0 and 0; Rich¬ 
ards 3 and 7; Bruns 4 and 0.
