Nothing like being safe 9 ’ 
TLere s nothing like a scared rabbit to test tbe 
accuracy and speed of tbe sbot. But witu a good 
aim and R. H. in your gun, “Safety First is a 
useless motto for tbe fleetest game. 
AMMUNITION 
“KICK MINUS — SPEED PLUS” 
shoots further, faster, harder, because the explosive force is 
absent in R. H. progressive-combustion Smokeless Powders. 
The powder burns and creates increasing force from breach to 
muzzle; nothing wasted on “kick.” 
Try R. H., and see the difference. Ask your dealer for it.

Next shoot at the Youghiogheny Country Club 
will be on the afternoon of Thanksgiving Day, 
November 26th, and will be a turkey and chicken 
shoot arranged in Class System, so that all shoot¬ 
ers will have an equal chance, whether high grade 
or only a medium shot. Arrangements will also 
be made so that professionals may compete 
among themselves for turkeys and chickens, and 
a big crowd is expected, all being welcome 
whether members of the Y. C. C. or not.

ANOTHER DU PONT PROMOTION IDEA. 
Editor, Forest and Stream: 
I am enclosing an invitation which we had 
prepared for the Hotel du Pont. They address 
these and give them to guests of the hotel. The 
thought occurs to us that possibly this form of 
promotion work might interest you or that you 
might suggest its use with some gun club with 
which you are familiar. It is our intention to 
try and interest a number of large clubs with 
the thought of their interesting, in turn, traveling 
men who may spend a week-end at hotels in 
their cities. 
T. E. DOREMUS. 
Manager Sporting Powder Division. 
This is the idea and it’s a peach: 
The Du Pont Trapshooting Club invites you 
to attend any of its afternoon shoots. 
Thursdays and Saturdays at 1.30 o’clock for 
men, and Wednesdays at 3.00 o’clock for women. 
The club owns several guns which are avail¬ 
able for the use of visitors. No charge. Shells 
and targets at reasonable prices. 
If you are not a trapshooter or a field shooter, 
it would be a pleasure to have you visit the 
grounds as a spectator. 
The Delaware Avenue car going west or the 
west-bound Rising Sun car on Sixth street will 
take you within easy walking distance of the 
club house. 
The trolley conductor will gladly direct you.

arranged with other clubs and one or more open 
tournaments will be held on our grounds. When 
our club sends a team to compete on other traps 
the regular program at our own club will be 
called off for that day, but any of our members 
who desire to shoot informally at our traps on 
such day may do so. Medals and bars will be 
awarded to those of our members who represent 
us on a winning team. Handicaps will be allot¬ 
ted by the Shooting Committee and are sub¬ 
ject to change at any time. Handicaps will be 
cut one bird for each leg won, and raised one 
bird each time a scratch shooter wins. In the 
distance handicap a penalty of one yard will be 
imposed for each leg won. If the high guns tie 
for a leg in an event, each so doing will be 
credited with one leg. Ties for possession of 
any trophy will be shot off at 25 birds, upon order 
of Committee. Entries for each event will close 
when the last squad starts to shoot the first 
string of such event- Shooters are especially 
requested to enter immediately upon their arival, 
procure their ammunition, and be ready to take 
their place on the shooting stand when previous 
squad has finished shooting.
