Buying a Gun 
The bird shooting season is open, the 
club trap shooting season opens in Octo¬ 
ber, and, within a few weeks, there will 
be a rush for quail shooting in the South. 
Are You Ready? 
Our Gun Editor, who knows a gun, 
from the chunk of iron ore to the gun cabi¬ 
net, has suggested offering gun advice 
through this department. 
He says, that at almost every tourna¬ 
ment he attends—and he’s at all of them 
—he finds some new-comer in the shoot¬ 
ing game, equipped with a modified choke 
barrel, trying to make a showing against 
expert trapshooters using the usual 70 
per cent, choke. 
He finds many good shots in the field 
making poor bags because they are not 
properly armed. 
His idea is, that if you knew we would 
give expert advice you would take ad¬ 
vantage of it, before buying a new gun, 
thereby enabling you to shoot in the class 
in which you belong: 
He has agreed to answer all letters ap¬ 
pertaining to arms and ammunition. 
There are hundreds of shooting 
wrinkles he has gathered, here and there, 
in his association with trap and field 
shooters, that will help you enjoy the 
sport and get maximum results. 
Incidentally, he knows a lot of shoot¬ 
ing places all over the country that are 
convenient, but little frequented. 
North, East, South and West, come 
within his range, because, just between 
you and I, he does nothing for three hun¬ 
dred and sixty-five days in the year but 
play at shooting, and you might just as 
well get the benefit of his experience. 
The big thing to remember in buying 
a gun is, the cheapest gun of high grade 
is better than the most expensive gun of 
low grade. In other words, somewhat 
paradoxical, there are no good cheap 
gUns, but there are cheap good guns, and 
we can tell you the difference in a 
minute. 
You can get all the gun information, or 
any other information without cost or 
obligation by writing
