AN VNBEATEN RECORD! 
TARGETS SHOT AT 
TARGETS BROKEN 
4280 
4164 
This is the percentage with which Mr. J. S. Day won the 1910 OFFICIAL HIGH AMATEUR AVERAGE— a percentage never 
equalled by an amateur and exceeding by exactly 1 % the figures of the 1911 winner, who, moreover, shot at only 2100 targets. 
Mr. Day’s Wonderful 
Shooting was 
done with 
FACTORY LOADED 
SHELLS 
Th^ I Sharp nf ihp 1011 Amaipiir Hnnnrc was also won with PETERS Shells, for they were used either 
IHC L«1UI1 S Olldre Ol IIIC iAmaieur nonors exclusively or for the most of their shooting by 5 out of the lO 
High Amateurs. This is not all. The 1911 Grand American Handicap, the greatest event in the Trap-Shooting world, was won by 
Mr. Harvey Dixon, who scored 99 out of 100 from the 20-yard mark. This score has never been equalled and is a World’s Record. 
Mr. Dixon used PETERS SHELLS the kind with “STEEL WHERE STEEL BELONGS.” 
Particular attention is directed to the fact that all of the shooting of Messrs. Day and Dixon was done with Peters Regular Factory 
Loads. And remember this—you can use PETERS Shells in any good gun. They require no special make of gun to give best results.

Gravesend Bay, N. Y., Jan. 20.—The weather here 
to-day was ideal for hunting the bluerock, and scores 
picked up considerably. Dr. Hopkins won two events 
out of four. The January cup and take-home trophy 
going his way. In the latter event, however, he was 
tied by _E. H. I.ott. shooting from scratch, but won the 
shoot-off. J. M. Knox pulled down the trophy shoot 
and the IS-target sweepstake. .Scores:

Jersey City [Gun Club. 
Jersey City, N. J., Jan 20. —Only ten shooters were 
out at the regular Saturday shoot of the Jersey City 
Gun Club to-day. The zero weather we have been hav¬ 
ing the last two weeks evidently has the boys hugging 
the stove and trying to thaw out. Dave Engle was high 
gun for the day, and Shannon the runner-up. Shan¬ 
non also won the leg on the monthly prize. Williams, 
Jr., captured the only weekly prize contested for. The 
scores follow:

a wonderful demonstration of marksmanship and skill,

Speedway Gun Club. 
u N. J., Jan. 18.—Some good scores were 
handed in by the gunners who participated in the regu¬ 
lar weekly shoot of the Speedway Gun Club, held Tues¬ 
day afternoon, Jan. 16. While the day was far from being 
an ideal one for trapshooting, the gunners did remark¬ 
ably well. Louis Colquitt was the high man of the day. 
B. M. Shanley, Jr., and N. Allen were the only ones 
to tup in a perfect score of 25. Shanley turned the trick 
on his fourth appearance on the firing line, while Allen 
was credited with 25 kills on his first try. Colquitt and 
Hassinger also shot well. The former was in good form, 
and with one exception, he never missed more than 
five in any of his strings. The scores:
