Seventh Regiment Rifles. 
Twenty years ago duplication score contests were 
popular, and until the Seventh Regiment, N. G. S. N. Y., 
held a match of this sort on Dec. 15, such an event is 
almost out of remembrance. The conditions called for 
teams of two, each man getting 15 shots. The leader 
of each team shot first, and it was then up to his mate 
to duplicate the score on the target. As a test of ac¬ 
curacy, the shoot was a rigid one. Sergt. A. Scholz and 
Corp. J. A. MacGuffie, Company M, and Private H. E. 
Crall and Private P. P. Crosbie, Company G, led the 
teams with 11 duplicates each. 
The revolver match resulted in a tie between Sergt. 
Scholz and C. H. Eagle, veteran, at 47, but the for¬ 
mer’s score was the better because of more even group¬ 
ing. The summaries: 
Duplicate rifle match, teams of two:

It meant $1,0 0 in cash to Mr. Harvey Dixon, besides 
the Interstate trophy, to win the Grand American Handi¬ 
cap. To win he had to select his powder with utmost 
thought and care.^ Isn’t this substantial evidence that 
“ DEAD SHOT ” is the powder for amateurs as well as 
professionals to use? 
For professional shooters the winning of the “Season’s 
High Average” is the crowning achievement. tour 
years out of five, professionals using “DEAD SHOT” 
have won this coveted honor. Is it any wonder that 
professionals prefer “Dead Shot?” 
You, too, will prefer Dead Shot if you will try it—com¬ 
pare its patterns and its penetration with that of any 
other powder. Once acquainted with Dead Shot you 
will always prefer it. 
All dealers carry Dead Shot loads in stock. We guar¬
