3 GRIZZLIES IN UNDER 1 MINUTE 
Feb. 10, 1913—Writing to tell you how pleased I am with the .280 Ross. 
Last season in Cassiar, B. C. I went after 13 head ai'd bagged the lot, at 
ranges varying from 60 to 500 yards in 27 shots. 1^ y bag consisted of 3 
Black Bear, 4 Grizzlies, 2 Goat, 2 Cariboo, 2 Moose. In my estimation 
there is no rifle to compare with the ”Ross .280.” 
The balance is perfect, the action fast and smooth while the flatness of 
trajector y quite ooes away with the judging of distances. 
I shot a goat at over 500 Yards with exactly same Sight 
that I take at 100 yards. The 3 grizzlies were killed in under one minute.

The New Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, Ohio, May 1.—Johnny Keifer’s ox roast 
and the one-day tournament at the Columbus Gun Club 
to-day brought out 200 shooters and their friends, who 
participated in one of the most enjoyable affairs of the 
season. Fires were started in the big steel oven at 
four o’clock in the morning, and by the time the first 
squad was called at 9:-!5, the bouillon was ready to 
serve, and was served all day long, together with the 
finest ox that has been served here. Large tables were 
set in the club dining room, and dinner served all day, 
in addition to the serving at the big oven down stairs. 
The weather was ideal, very little wind, and warm 
enough to shoot with your coat off. All together in 
the neighborhood of 20,000 targets were trapped, and 
the Phellis trophy race, in which six six-man teams were 
entered, was not completed on account of darkness. 
Sociability and real enjoyment was the feature of the 
shoot, and the club was congratulated on all sides for 
the splendid manner in which it entertained the visitors. 
Johnny Keifer, of Columbus, was given a vote of 
thanks by the club for the way he pulled off the ox 
roast, as we all found out that “Johnny” was there. 
Shooters were here from all parts of the State, and 
the high man for the amateurs was Dr. F. M. Edwards, 
of Columbus, O., who went out with the good score of 
145 out of 150. K. P. Johnston, of Kenton, O., w'as sec¬ 
ond with 144, and C. D. Coburn, of Mechanicsburg, 
third, with 143. The high professional was John K. 
Taylor, of Columbus, O., with 145; Chas. A. oYung, of 
Springfield, O., second, with 144, and Rolla O. Heikes, 
of Dayton, O., third, with 143. 
The Circleviile team won the closely contested 
Phellis trophy race with the fine score of 278 out of 300, 
each man shooting a good average. Mechanicsburg team 
was close up with 277, and Springfield, 274. They shot 
in the fast fading daylight, Columbus finishing after 
dark, as did also Kenton, Ohio. The Sunbury team, 
with John A. Loar captain, shot a good race, but were 
handicapped by the darkness. 
The Columbus Gun Club is getting ready for the. 
twentieth century limited shoot on the dates of Aug. 
14 and 15, and have already set the mark of attendance 
at the 500 mark. In addition to being a novelty shoot, 
in so far as the New Columbus Gun Club pays your 
found trip fare from any point in Ohio and furnishes 
your shells (any load) free of charge, and to residents 
outside of Ohio pay the round trip fare from where 
they strike the Ohio line coming in to Columbus and 
return to said point, this shoot will be a live one in 
"every respect, and our large list of applications for pro¬ 
grams already demonstrates that “coming events cast 
their shadows before.” W’e have been asked how many 
traps we would use for this twentieth century limit shoot. 
Six traps will be used, and when you get the program 
you will want to come. 
During the summer and fall season the club will 
have several social shoots, among them the “corn 
roast.” the “turtle shoot” and the “Boston bean bake.” 
Doc Edwards took an olive oil tablet just before 
his squad was up first. 
Roundy Chamberlain handled the office with the 
assistance of the old reliable Luther J., and everything 
went along in the finest fashion. 
Charlie North, in addition to having the traps so 
full of oil and ginger that there wasn't a break, pushed 
the slow gin fiz squads along the line on the double 
quick. 
Lank Grubbs, of Thornville, owing to the scarcity 
of honey disposed of a quarter hay stack and landed 
in time for the ox. 
Bert Cooper just came over to practice a litle for the 
“limited.” 
Deacon Coffman, the blacksmith from Dublin, was 
on the job in the regular and the team race. 
Frank Ford, in addition to telling a large line of 
fish stories, took care of the shell game. 
F. J Coburn, of Mechanicsburg, shot his usual good 
clip. 
11. I\I. Brown showed up to fine advantage in the 
team race. 
F. G. Phellis was' pleased with his team’s showing 
and said he had the time of his life. 
H. Hi'dinger was in evidence. He is one of the 
old regulars. 
Pop Heikes is about to introduce his new version 
on how to keep young. He might tell some of us how, 
but could we do it like “Pop”? 
The congenial Teddy Barstow and his charming wife 
came over from St. Louis and were with us over the 
doings. The boys were all glad to see “Teddy” and Mrs. 
W. N. Camp, of the old East Side Club, was in and 
said this was sure a time. 
J. E. Nutt will have to brush up a little for the 
“limited.” 
Billy M’eb'ter said he was a little loggy somehow, 
and he believed if they would let him stand in a tub of 
water while he shot he would do better, as it might 
seem more like fishing. 
Harry Smith broke 49 out of 50 in the dark. Harry 
doesn’t need any lantern to hunt night crawlers. 
Johnny Keifer — well he is some roaster. He is al¬ 
ways eating himself, and he’d make you hungry to look 
at him. 
Rolla, Guy, Saxbee, Phellis, C. and F. J. Coburn 
and H. M. Brown was certainly a fine turnout from old 
Mechanicsburg. We want to see that squad at the 
Twentieth Century. 
Stonty, Hedges, Ward, Welters, Caldwell and 
Moeller—the Circleviile six — eat like sixty, shot like 
sixty, and scored ei.ghteen over two hundred and sixty, 
and that ought to keep them in good humor for a while. 
Frank Hall said that he would be ashamed to look 
an ox in the face after Thursday’s roast, for fear he 
would look at him with suspicion. 
Ora Shilling said that on page 92 of “Harry’s” 
latest edition it specifically states that before attending 
an ox roast the victim should grease his stomach with 
goose grease to avoid any late discomfort. 
John Ritt, the Circleviile booster, said, “Keep your 
eye on us for the Ohio State shoot, June 2, 4, 5 and li. 
Our old friend Purhaugh, from Ait. X'ernon, got the 
fever and came over. John says there is no place like 
old Co.nmbus for a slioot. 
'\'. G. Alkire, of Mt. Sterling is showing good form, 
and we hope to have him with us often this season. 
J. H. Loar. Dr. \ an Houlcn, Rudy Rutan, Slaughter 
and Baird — the .Sunbury team — came over in machines 
and shot through all the events. Sunbury Gun Club 
are just putting in a new trap, and we will have to 
look out. 
L. W. Cumberland came over from Pennsylvania for 
the ox roast, and after taking a look at the ox, he.ped 
Roundy and Luther finish up the office. He said that 
“Bouillon would cure where patent medicines fail.” But 
that did not change Doc. Edwards’ opinion of “olive oil.” 
Kent Johnston, of Kenton, O., was sick all day, but 
his scores did not look sick. Brother Johnston has the 
faculty of going to one or two shoots a year—always the 
G A. H. — shooting into the money without apparently 
any practice. He may have a blue rock farm, however, 
concealed about that burg. 
J. H. Smith, the hardware man of Columbus, was on 
hand and had a few stories for the hoys, and said, after 
taking eleven cups of bouillon, he felt much younger— 
that may be one of “Pop’s” receipts. 
Charley Young doesn t change any, is getting better 
all the time and is a good exemplification of what “down 
on the farm" and a little shooting will do for you. 
Billy Poole, of Springfield, is certainly one of the 
finest. He is not a policeman, but he is a good mixer 
ju.'^t the same. 
“Bad Bill Weinman” was into everything, as usual, 
and licked the swearing room door, and Johnny Keifer 
was looking for an auger to bore his way out or bore 
“Bill” — hard to tell. 
George Tinkham, the angler, fisherman, shooter and • 
all-round sportsman, took in the big show, and said 
there is nothing to it, you can’t stop Columbus—she is 
bound to be a sport. 
Bowman Reinmnnd was there with his smile and 
made a hit with the o.x. He showed his old friend, 
Dolson, from Chillicothe, that this was the place to 
come for e.xcitemcnt, recreation and a sure cure for the 
blues.
