How Much of Your ‘BadLuck 'is Due 
To The Ammunition You’re Using ? 
TRADE 
It's not a matter of luck, old chap. Ten to one, it’s the fault 
of the powder. You’re probably shooting one of the “big explosion’ ’ 
varieties that wastes half its force on your shoulder. 
So, right-about face and join the big army of converts to 
Robin Hood 
—loaded with perfect combustion powders that produce a gradual and 
ever-increasing velocity from breech to muzzle. 
And take it from me, friend, speed at the muzzle is what counts. 
That’s why R. H. gets there quicker and kills further. You don’t 
miss your game when you shoot ROBIN HOOD AMMUNITION. 
Buy Robin Hood loaded shot shells and metallic cartridges from 
your regular dealer, or send to us if he is not supplied. Write for our 
catalogue; it gives valuable shooting information.

of a new record. The scores:
