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 \% the figures of the 1911 winner, who, moreover, shot at only 2100 targets. 
Mr. Day’s Wonderful 
Shooting was 
done with 
FACTORY LOADED 
SHELLS 
The Lions Share of the 1911 Amatpiir Hnnnrc was also won with PETERS Shells, for they were used either

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. r)ixon[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.
