Repeating Shotguns 
and Loaded Shells 
The opening gun of the trap shooting 
year was lired with the holding of the 
Sunny South Handicap at Houston, 
Texas, and as usual the Winchester 
red w combination started right in to 
corral the winnings. W. H. France, 
who won the main event, the Sunny 
South Handicap, shot a Winchester 
Repeating Shotgun and Winchester 
Loaded Shells, scoring 95 out of 100, 
and 25 straight on the shoot-off. Also 
he and Alf. Gardiner won the Team 
Race with the splendid score of 49 out 
of 50, both shooting Winchester Re¬ 
peating Shotguns and Winchester 
Loaded Shells. 
HIGH GENERAL AVERAGE 
1148 X 1205 
Out of a total of 1205 targets thrown, 
W. R. Crosby broke 1148, winning High General Average. As an 
onlooker remarked, “this was remarkable shooting, as Mr. Gardiner 
certainly threw the hardest targets it was possible to throw with an 
automatic trap.” As usual, Mr. Crosby shot Winchester Factory 
Loaded Shells, which are hard-hitting enough to break the hardest 
targets.
