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 and bagged the lot, at 
ranges varying from 60 to 500 yards in 27 shots. My bag consisted of 3 
Black Bear, 4 Grizzlies, 2 Goat, 2 Cariboo, 2 Moose. In my estimation 
tbere is no rifle to compare with the **Ross .280.” 
The balance is perfect, the action fast and smooth while the flatness of 
trajectory quite does away with the Judging of distances. 
1 shot a goat atover 500 Yards with exactly same Sight 
that I take at 100 yards. The 3 grizzlies were killed in under one minute.

Audubon G. C. 
Buffalo, N. Y., May 17.—Frank Kelsey demonstrated' 
very forcibly by his shooting to-day that he is not in 
any but the best_ of form, and if he continues at the 
present clip, he will take some beating at the Decoration' 
Day shoot and the State shoot on June 9-12. To-day 
there were thirty-two shooters in attendance, and many 
straight scores were turned in. Kelsey was high guty 
with 94. Parker and Covert broke 93, Rommel 91, and 
Wright 90. 
Great preparations are being made for the State 
shoot, at which prizes and cups to the value of $3,500' 
will be contested for. 
On May 30 the Audubon Club will hold its annual 
Decoration Day tournament, at which added money and 
merchandise to the value of $400 will be contested for. 
This tournament will be held on the same grounds on' 
which the State shoot will be held, namely Kenilworth 
Racetrack. To-days scores follow:

Birmingham G. C. 
Birmingham, Ala., May 19.—There was shooting at 
the Birmingham Gun Club on Friday and Saturday.^ For 
the two days James Day and Walter Huff tied with 9S 
out of their IPO shot at. H. C. Ryding and Gentry Hill¬ 
man tied for high amateur with 91 each. We had with 
us T. E. Dorernus, of Du Pont Powder Co. It is his 
first visit to our club, and we wish he would come often. 
Dick Leland was there also, representing his company, 
making in all four professionals. Lee Moody was second 
amateur with the best score he has made in a long time. 
Scores were made as follows, lOO targets per man: 
James Day . 96 
Walter Hull . 96 
H C Ryding . 91 
Gentry Ffillman . 91 
Lee Moody . 89

Hvdson Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., May 18.—Find scores appended 
of the regular club shoot of the Hudson Gun Club, 
twenty shooters taking part. The day was ideal, being 
bright and pleasant, with no wind to bother the flight 
of the targets, and some very good scores were returned. 
There were no straight scores made, as straight scores 
are as scarce as hens’ teeth at our grounds, but D. 
Engle, W. Emmons and W. Roach had made a good 
bid for one, breaking 24, but 24 is not a straight, so it 
does not count. High gun for the day went to Tom 
Kelley with 83. Billy Emmons, all the way from Hart¬ 
ford, Conn., was second with 82, while his brother Al, 
from the good old State of Jersey, was a close con¬ 
tender with 81. 
Billy Emmons, who used to handle the office at the 
Hudson G. C. before he moved to the farm lands of 
Hartford, thought that -he would put one over on us 
this morning, sO' he landed at the grounds, cocked and 
primed for some shooting, with a chip on his shoulder. 
He started the argument with his brother Al., who put 
him under cover in the first two events. He then 
thought he would try to trim Kelley in a lOO-bird race, 
but broke only 75 to Kelley’s 83. After a few more 
tries with the rest of the bunch, we passed around the 
hat to enable Billy to get his car fare home, so that he 
will come soon again with some of his farmer shooters 
from Hartford, so that they can learn a few of the fine 
points of the shooting game. Let us know, Billy, when 
you are coming, so that we can ease up on the traps 
so as to help you make a few good scores. 
Our next shooting date is June 1, when Walter Ray¬ 
mond, who has challenged the champion double-bird 
shot of Yonkers, N. Y., Dr. O’Brien, to shoot a match 
at 50 doubles for the gold medal that the Doctor now 
holds. We look forward toi a keen contest, as the 
Doctor is some double-bird shot. (We can vouch that 
the Doctor broke a pair of doubles once in a contest.) 
Don’t forget the date, June 1, just a few days before the 
New Jersey State shoot that will be held at Red Bank, 
N. J.,' so if you want some good hard practice, come out 
to the Hudson Gun Club traps. Everybody welcome.
