FOREST AND STREAM 
[Jan. 27, 1912. 
At Shell Mound Park. 
Emeryville, Cal., Jan. 7.—With rain to start with, 
the first shoot of the New Year was held here to-day, 
and the clubs that held their shoots were the Shell 
Mound Pistol and Rifle Club, the Independent Rifles 
and the Deutsche Krieger Schuetzen. 
K. O. Krindgren made the first 25 on the 200yd. range, 
and H. W. Klienenbroich made the first 10 on the 50yd. 
with the pistol for the new year. E. Schierbaum made 
two fine scores in the champion class on the 200yd. rifle 
range, German target; his score was 216; his second was 
221, or a 20 or better. H. W. Klienenbroich was the 
high man in the first class with a score of 100 and 199. 
A. M. Poulsen made the best score in the second 
class, which was 198. S. Phillips made the best in the 
third class, having made 182. H. A. Harris made two 
dandy scores in the champion class of the pistol, hav¬ 
ing m.ade 93 and 96. W. N. Christie led the first class 
with 88 and 90. C. J. Doehring made a fine score in 
the first class, making 91. The honors of the third fell 
to H. W. Klienenbroich, having made 73. 
The members of the Bay Cities Revolver Club, in¬ 
cluding R. W. Jones, secretary and treasurer, held a 
meeting to decide as to what date to hold the annual 
meeting. It was decided to hold same at Shell Mound 
Park, on Tuesday, Jan. 9. At this meeting the election 
cf officers will also take place. 
As far as can be learned there will be one of the largest 
shoots ever held here during the World’s Fair, 1915. 
The members of the Independent Rifles turned out in 
full force to-day, and with the old .45 Springfield they 
shot at the Standard American target, 200yd. range. 
John Kulke made the first 10, which brought up the 
flag. This organization is at present one of the most 
active in and about San Francisco Bay. Capt. Harry 
Gaetjen, who is in command now, will no doubt bring 
this organization in equal with any military company 
of its kind. 
A score of 65 out of a possible 100 was the best score 
shot in the regular monthly medal shoot of the Inde¬ 
pendents, which was made by M. Anderson. H. Pape 
was a close second with 61. 
The Deutsche Krieger Schuetzen had a very good at¬ 
tendance, and it took Capt. Fritz Kiezer to make the 
best score, which was 395 out of a possible 500. C. Hart¬ 
man made the most centers, while H. Weggemann made 
the most red flags. 
Many new members took part to-day in the different 
clubs, and it is expected that many of the old-timers 
will take to the rifle again to get in trim for the big 
shoot in 1915. 
The Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club will start their 
new program next Sunday, and it is expected that a 
large attendance is expected, for the program is one of 
the best offered by any club. Wm. A. Siebe. 
Emeryville, Cal., Jan. 15.—The world’s pistol record 
vas changed this afternoon at the Shell Mound targets, 
when James E. Gorman, of this city, set a mark of 
956 out of a possible 1000 in 100 shots at 50yds. The 
former record was thirteen points shy of the mark made 
by the San Francisco marksman. Gorman made his 
record score in the regular monthly medal competition 
of the Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club. 
Conditions at the range were ideal for good scores, and 
the range was crowded all day long, seven different 
clubs holding their monthly shoots; and it kept the 
targets busy bobbing up and down all day long. 
William F. Blasse, vice-president of the Golden Gate 
Rifle and Pistol Club, certainly did the trick, for he 
was in good trim for rolling up good scores. He won the 
first prize in the Germania Schuetzen Club yearly rifle 
shoot; his total was 2231 for the year in picking out his 
ten best scores. He won the first prize in the yearly 
bullseye shoot, that club making 227 in 20 shots. In 
his own club, the Golden Gate Rifle and Pistol Club, 
he made 231, the best score in that club for the day. 
W. C. Prichard made one 98, and R. Mills made a 96 
and 97. 
E. Bornholdt won the first prize in the monthly bulls¬ 
eye shoot of the Norddeutschcr Schuetzen Club. Capt. 
Fritz Attinger made the best score in the regular 
monthly shoot of the S. F. Turner Schuetzen, making 
201 . 
O. A. Bremer won the first prize in the San Francisco 
Schuetzen Verein monthly bullseye shoot. 
The Independent Rifles had the largest attendance of 
them all, and as this company is now 170 strong, it was 
necessary to raise the initiation fee to $20, as the com¬ 
pany is now the largest in its history. It will also re¬ 
quire that more targets must be used to accommodate 
the large attendance. 
The Bay Cities Revolver Association of the U. S. R. 
A., held their annual meeting last Tuesday evening, Jan. 
9. The following officers were elected for the year 1912: 
W. A. Siebe, President; R. W. Jones. Vice-President; 
C. W. Seely, Secretary and Treasurer; H. A. Harris and 
F. P. Poulter, Directors. New constitution and by-laws 
were adopted.

A World’s Record. 
One afternoon last week two officials of the veteran 
Brays Bayou Cun Club foregathered with the sporting 
editor of the Post, discussing the history of that or¬ 
ganization. The two officials are both enthusiastic rifle 
shots and both have been big figures in the history of 
the oldest rifle organization in this part of the State. 
One is F. F. Platt president of the club, and the other 
Secretary Birchfield. 
“Did you know,’’ President Platt inquired, “that a 
world’s record is held with the rifle in Houston, and 
that it is by the Brays Bayou Gun Club? Well, it’s a 
fact, though it has never been printed in a newspaper. 
Y OU know mallards—wisest and wariest of all 
ducks—Solomons of the air. You can’t knock 
down mallards with a paddle nor can you get them 
with a gun that plasters its shots all over the face 
of creation. 
A mallard shot is generaliy a long shot, and long 
shots require a hard-shooting, close-shooting gun. 
That’s why the long-headed man who goes to a 
mallard country takes a Lefeiier. When he swings 
it on a towering pair of mallards he does not ques¬ 
tion the result. He know it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason a Lefever kills clean and sure and 
far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
But if you buy a Lefever for the taper boring 
alone, you will get more than your money’s wordi. 
For instance, you will never be handicapped with 
looseness at the hinge joint. The exclusive Lefever 
screw compensates for a year’s wear by a trifling 
turn that you make yourself with a screwdriver. 
LEFEVER 
SHOT GUNS 
Sixteen other exclusive Lefever features and Lefe¬ 
ver simplicity and strength make the S28 gun the 
Mer of any S50 gun on the market. Upwards to 
Si ,000. Send for free catalog and get Lefever wise. 
Lefevbr Arms Co., 0 } Maltbie St., Syracuse,N.Y. 
The gun club record book gives it, but so far as I 
know that is the only place it has ever been printed. 
And it was made five years ago at that. 
“I don’t recall the exact date, but it was about five 
years ago when the Brays Bayou Gun Club was holding 
a big anniversary shoot. \Ve had invited representatives 
from the rifle clubs that then existed in Harris county 
to attend, and there was a big field shooting. 
“William H. Moeller was the man who made the 
record. He and another good shot were shooting to¬ 
gether, and both started hitting centers at 45yds. with 
remarkable precision. We had plenty of beer on the 
grounds for the entertainment of the visitors—most men 
like to drink a little good beer while they are shooting. 
But neither Moeller nor his companion would take any. 
They made 42 consecutive centers, and they still seemed 
to be going. On the 43d, Moeller’s companion missed 
the center, but Moeller kept on. Some one bet him 
he could not finish the 50, and the shooter gave odds 
that he would. To the surprise of all of us, he went all 
the way—made 50 consecutive centers and established a 
world’s record that has never been equaled at 45yds. 
“A lieutenant in the regular army is listed with 43 
out of DO, which is, I believe, the next best performance. 
So the world’s record was made in Houston and by the 
old Brays Bayou Gun Club.”—Houston Post.
