FOREST AND STREAM 
[July 29, 1911. 
-WON THE - 
1911 Grand American Ha.ndica.p 
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 23^ 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.

At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Cal., July 14.—The regular monthly 
meeting and indoor rifle shoot of the Shell Mound 
Pistol and Rifle Club to-day was well attended. 
The shoot opened up at 7 P. M. sharp and Shooting 
Master L. Delavergne was at hand on time to take full 
charge. The crack of the .22 rifle was heard at once, and 
within five minutes six targets were sent down on the 
trolleys 75 feet from the firing line. There were lined 
up Hawxhurst, Kraul, Poulter, Bauman, Thompson and 
Jones, all trying their best to land a good score. While 
many targets were used, it took C. M. Kraul to break 
the club record, which was held by past President C. 
Otten, 124 out of 125. It took a possible to beat this 
record, and C. M. Kraul made it and it was as clean 
as a whistle, as he left no doubt, for the 25 was com¬ 
pletely shot away, for just a little hole the size of a 
ten-cent piece was all that remained to tell the tale 
which broke the club record with the .22 rifle indoors. 
As the club bars the use of the telescope in all its 
indoor competitions, C. M. Kraul used a .22 Remington 
repeater with a Lyman ivory front bead and a rear peep 
Lyman sight. He used U. M. C. .22 smokeless car¬ 
tridges; trigger pull 4 to 5 pounds. This is the first 
5-shot possible ever made in the Shell Mound Pistol and 
Rifle Club’s re-entry medal competition. 
The scores of the evening are as follows: 
C M Kraul . 125 118 117 116 114 
L S Hawxhurst . 123 120 121 121 120 
F P Poulter . 119 116 114 113 113 
A Thompson . 120 119 118 117 114 
J Bauman . 114 113 112 109 105 
J A Jones . 115 108 108 108 108 
At the regular meeting the reports from the various 
committees appointed for the tenth anniversary prize 
shoot were read. 
The club will open up a special target for the .45 
Springfield rifles, such as being used by the Independent 
rifles, Nationals, Veterans. N. G. C. and Co. A, Irish 
Volunteers. This target will be open to the public who 
wish to use the .45 Springfield rifle with no less than a 
3%-pound trigger pull. The standard American target 
will be used with 8-inch bullseye. All rifles other than 
the .45 Springfield will be barred. At least $100 in prizes 
will be set aside for this target only. 
Donations of great value have been received and many 
are coming in each day.

Los Angeles Revolver Club. 
Los Angeles, Cal., July 17.—It was lucky for us that 
we had no match on for Sunday, July 16. Perhaps we 
were so elated over our victory over Providence, R. I., 
we couldn’t make our eyes track. Suffice it to say, it 
was an off-day for the whole bunch. It seems to be a 
peculiar circumstance that the whole team “follows the 
leader.” If the first man up hangs up a poor score, it 
sets the pace for the rest. We nearly always shoot the 
same scores, whether they are high or low. It might 
be a good scheme to let the first man use a rifle with 
telescope sights. 
The occasion of the shoot was the regular monthly 
bullseye match, in which each man shoots 30 shots at 50 
yards, with either pistol or revolver. The man making 
the most 10s gets to “sport the hardware” for one 
month. If he wins it three times in succession, it 
becomes his property. It has required as high as seven¬ 
teen 10s to win, while on average days it takes fifteen or 
sixteen; but Sunday the most any of us could shake 
loose were eleven. 
The telegram from Providence, R. I., shows that our 
team was victorious by 118 points. Following are their 
scores: 
Freeman ... 
.455 
Biesel . 
.413 
Joslin .

.406 
Miller .

. 389-3342 
The total for Los Angeles was 3460. 
Bullseye match: 
R J Fraser (11 10s) . 94 92 80—266 
J E Holcomb (8 10s) . 83 84 91—258 
E G Richardson (9 10s). 91 82 84—257 
W E Smith (7 10s) . 89 85 85—259 
Dr L M Packard (7 10s). 88 89 79—256 
I C Douglas (3 10s) . 85 81 87—253 
In practice the members did better, as the light was 
steady and back of the targets. W. E. Smith brought 
out his new .44 S. & W., and volunteers the information 
after each shot that “that thing is certainly some gun.” 
Dr. L. M. Packard had out one of the ,22cal. S. & W. 
revolvers, and thinks that it will fulfill all that he ex¬ 
pects of it. After getting the sights adjusted, he shot 
the following scores: 
9 10 89989 10 7 8—87 
7 10 8998978 9-84 
As he is unaccustomed to any sight but the Patridge, 
he was handicapped, but feels that much better results 
could be obtained by a more skillful shot. 
Practice scores: J. E. Holcomb 92, 86, 87, 91, 91, 93, 
93, 94, 85; E. G. Richardson 93, 92, 90, 89, 90, 87, 88; 
Dr. L. M. Packard 89, 91, 84; R. J. Fraser 93; W. E. 
Smith 85.
