FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 22, 1911. 
WON THE 
1911 Grand American iandicap 
Mr. Harvey Dixon, scoring 99 out of 100, was the victor in this greatest of all trapshooting events. 
He was handicapped at 20 yards, and many shooters under the same circumstances would have 
used 2^ in. or 3 in. shells, but Mr. Dixon, being familiar with the quality of PETERS SHELLS, 
realized that no extra length or specially wadded shells were necessary. PETERS regular 2 % in. 
loads will hold their pattern perfectly at 20 yards, as shown convincingly by Mr. Dixon’s score. 
This is the first time the Grand American Handicap has been won from 20 yards. See the 
connection ? 
Remember that when deciding to use PETERS shells you do not have to ask yourself “will they shoot 
in my gun?’’ They’ll shoot and get results with any good gun —no special combination necessary.

San Francisco: 608-612 Howard Street. J. S. FRENCH, Manager 
have attended the shoot at Wilmington, had it not been 
for the Squier money-back system. As one said: “Shoot¬ 
ing is fine sport if you pay only for targets, ammunition 
and railroad fare.” 
Doremus says: “The Swedes discovered Wilmington 
in .the man-of-war Key of Kalmer.” That wasn’t the 
same Key loaned the gunners by the Du Pont Gun 
Club, but there wasn’t much the shooters hadn’t dis¬ 
covered about Wilmington, in the three days they spent 
there. Most of the visitors were satisfied with the Key, 
as an opener, but rumor says, “Some of the boys used 
Jacks or better.” 
Unofficially the standing of the professional trapshoot- 
ers thus far in 1911 is as follows:

Considerable interest centered in Ad. Topperwein’s 
sketches of a rampant child, on the score board. 
Most amateur shooters need practice on straightaway 
birds; their scores will show why this is so. Inci¬ 
dentally, practically every bird Mrs. Topperwein missed 
was a slow rising straightaway. She shot away under 
every time. 
Taylor is a good shooter—“Snuff said.” That isn’t 
all ’cause Bill Ileer could have played better shuffle 
board, if he hadn’t been driven to tears by cut up 
Taylor. 
“Don’t lend him a cent; he bit your father.” 
I.ester German sent in some of these notes—pick ’em 
out if you can. The amateur picking out most of the 
German variety will receive a handsomely bound copy 
of the menu of the dinner given by Ed. Banks, on the 
12th. Sneezeless to say, professionals can enter as 
targets only. Beeoroft.

Washington, D. C., July 16. —Seventeen members of 
the Analostan Gun Club were on the firing line at the 
regular shoot on the 15th. The day was perfect for 
shooting, barring a stiff wind from the south, which 
kept the targets down and made the shooting difficult.
