Birmingham Gun Club. 
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 6.—Six shooters were at the 
weekly shoot of the Birmingham Gun Club on Friday, 
Jan. 5. The weather was quite cold, but all had a 
good time. Professional Guy Ward was with us, and 
brought his new Stevens gun to try out over our traps. 
He has just joined the selling force of the Stevens Arms 
and Tool Co., and his many friends in Birmingham 
wish him success He did not shoot up to his average, 
however, as his average over our grounds on about 1000 
targets during 1911 was better than 97 per cent. 
Mr. Cornwell was shooting at clay targets for the 
first time, and judging from the improvement he showed, 
will shortly become a good shot. 
Much enthusiasm is shown by the shooters, and judg¬ 
ing by this, the coming season will be a banner one for 
the Birmingham, Gun Club.

Who uses Dead Shot? 
Amateurs 
1911; Grand American Handicap, 
won by Harvey Dixon, Oronogo, Mo. 
Score, 99 out of 100, from 20 yards. Powder, Dead Shot. 
Professionals ^ ^ Average, 
Score, 2038 out of 2100. 
won by Mr. John R. Taylor. 
Powder, Dead Shot. 
Why do winners use Dead Shot? 
It meant $1,000 in cash to Mr. Harvey Dixon, besides the Interstate trophy, 
to win the Grand American Handicap. 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. Four 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—compare 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 guarantee the stability of 
Dead Shot.
