FOREST AND STREAM 
Sept. 21, 1912 
WIN A GREAT VICTORY AT THE 
Grand American Handicap 
AT SPRINGFIELD, ILL., JUNE 18-21 
PRELIMINARY HANDICAP—Won by Wm. S. Hoon, 94 x 100 and 18 x 20 in shoot off. 
AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP—Wm. S. Hoon tied for 1st place, 192 x 200. 
GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP—C. A. Young made High Professional Score, 95 x 100 from 22 yards. 
PROFESSIONAL DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP-J. S. Day and Walter Huff tied for 1st—84 x 50 pairs. 
AMATEUR DOUBLES CHAMPIONTHIP—Harry W. Kahler 2d—88 x 50 pairs. 
There were no 16-yard targets at the Grand American, and therefore, no targets that will fgne in the season’s average. It must be apparent, however, that in figuring the 
average at Springfield, the scores made on practice day, the double target ever t. ard r he Ccnso;aticn Handicap should be eliminated—the Consolation because it was not open to 
all. The real Amateur Average was therefore wen by Mr. Hoon, cn his score of 380 x 400. 
HIGH AMATEUR AVERAGE—All single targets, W. S. Hoon-380 x 400. 
Practice Day: 2d Professional Average, H. D. Freeman. 192 x 200. 2d Amateur Average, Bart Lewis, 191 x 200. 
All the above used the Red P Ammunition. A fitting climax to a wonderful succession of winnings. 
The superior quality of “steel where steel belongs” shells absolutely proven. 
For Field or Trap, there is no shot-gun ammunition that gives the unalloyed satisfaction that can be gotten with the Red P Brand.

Birmingham Gun Club. 
There was shooting at the Birmingham Gun Club 
Friday and Saturday afternoon of last week. Several 
professionals were in town seeing the special car of 
shooters going to the Denver handicap. Walter Huff 
shot high in Friday’s shoot, breaking 98 out of his 100. 
Mr. Overbaugh was shooting his 20-gauge, so did not 
make a good score. Several of our regular shooters are 
at Denver handicap, and consequently our attendance 
was less than usual. The Saturday shoot was well at¬ 
tended, twenty shooters being present. The feature of 
the day was the shooting of P. B. Plummer, who broke 
all of the program without a miss, in addition to helping 
the secretary. The shooting is held on Saturday for the 
instruction and practice of beginners, consequently these 
scores will not be published. Ed. Cornwell, P. B. Plum¬ 
mer and O. L. Garl will look after the comforts, etc., 
of these new shooters. Every one who wishes to learn 
trapshooting is invited to attend these Saturday after¬ 
noon practice shoots. Scores of Sept. G follow:
