WIN THE 
High Amateur Average For Single And Double Targets; 
High Amateur Average For Double Targets, And High 
Professional Averages For Single And For Double 
Targets, For The Season Of 1912 
T HE official returns for the trap shooting season of 1912 are now all in. The result was as the 
canvass indicated it would be. Winchester Red w Goods, by the run they made again proved, 
as they have many a time before, that they are the winning campaigners. There was no split 
or defection in the ranks of the vast army of intelligent shooters who used Winchester Loaded Shells 
and Shotguns. They supported them straight. There was no falling off in Winchester quality or 
popularity. The mid-season claims of some brands would make a political aerocyst green with envy. 
But the result—and the result is the thing that counts—shows another landslide for the old reliable 
Winchester Red w Brand. The self-proclaimed “world-beating”, “speed” candidate was snowed 
under by the world-beatingest, speediest combination extant, while of the contender of the ebon 
name naught was left save a cavernous flash-passage into which to withdraw. 
And now for the official returns to which, in the language of the prevalent politician, “we point 
with pride.”
