Inter-Club Record Again Boosted By 
yviNCHesTek 
.22 Cal. Rifles and Cartridges 
♦ 
W ONDERFUL to tell, the phenomenal Inter-Club Record 
of 995 out of a possible 1,000 points made by the Win¬ 
chester Rod and Gun Club, of New Haven, Conn., has 
been beaten, but it took the same club to do it and the same shoot¬ 
ing equipment. The new record was made in the match between 
the above club and the Bridgeport Club on February 13th. The 
table shows how and by what members it was accomplished: 
G. W. Chesley, - - - 
Capt. W. H. Richard. 
H. S. Williams, - - - 
M. O. Buttsteadt, 
Capt. A. F. Laudensack.

Composite of the 100 Shots 
Composite of Chesley’s Targets 
This makes three times in succession members of the Winchester 
Rod and Gun Club have broken the Inter-Club Record, and in 
each instance every shooter used exclusively Winchester Rifles and 
Cartridges. If anything were needed to further convince informed 
shooters that Winchester Rifles and Cartridges have exceptionally 
good shooting qualities, these performances would change their 
conviction into a dead certainty. 
I You Won’t Go Wrong If You Shoot The Red W Combination 
Chicago Gun Club. 
Chicago, Ill., Feb. 10.—With zero weather again on 
tap and a sharp wind blowing, the ten shooters who 
came out to-day had their troubles trying to break tar¬ 
gets. Cold fingers would not always point the gun in 
the exact spot, while the shooter tried to hold, and 
consequently many of the targets kept soaring on with¬ 
out a scratch. 
Graham did fine work when he broke his 47 out of 50 
in the club event, Fetherston and Ammann each scor¬ 
ing 43 in the same event. 
Barto, Ammann and Graham each broke 12 out of the 
15 in the practice event. Goode, Ammann and Jeff each 
made the same score on 15 targets, following the club 
event. 
Macl. 2 ichlan topped the list on the doubles, breaking 
37 out of 24 pairs. Goode and Jeff each scored 31, 
while Graham broke 30.

*Practice. 
Feb. 11.—During the night the weather grew warmer 
and this morning it started to snow, and for awhile it 
looked as though we were in for a snowstorm, but by 
noon • it stopped snowing and we had a fine afternoon 
for sTiooting, which was appreciated by the twenty-four 
shooters as well as quite a number of spectators. Among 
the latter was Mr. J. H. Shrigley, who is just able to 
be out after suffering with bronchitis, which kept him 
in bed for three weeks. 
Most all the marksmen put up good scores. Hardy 
Wolff is especially well pleased with his 96 out of 100, 
which was his total for the three events in which he 
participated. In the practice event at 25 targets. Wolf, 
Goode and Davis each broke 23, while Kammerer, Jeff, 
Young, Keller and Donnelly each scored 22. 
In the club program event at 50 targets. Wolf and 
Collins tied with scores of 49, Fetherston, Goode, Young, 
Seelig, Sr., and Graham each breaking 47, while Mc¬ 
Dermott and Keller each scored 45. 
C. C. Collins, our good friend from Indiana, who was 
in the city for the day, took first honors in the event 
at doubles by breaking 21 targets out of 12 pairs. Young 
and Ciancey each scoring 19, while Crocker brought 
down 18. 
Wolf and Ciancey each wound up his day’s shooting 
by breaking 24 out of 25 in the last event, Goode, Kam¬ 
merer and Donnelly finishing up with scores of 23. 
Goode, May, Kammerer and Jeff came out early and 
had a splendid time in shooting a number of interesting 
match races, the most important one being a team race 
between Kammerer and Jeff, who defeated Goode and 
May, their scores being 89 to 71 respectively. 
This is the second time the latter team had to buy din¬ 
ners, but Doc says that he will help even matters up 
when he gets that new pump to working just right. 
Mr. W. K. Cochrane is one of those who is right 
“at home” with a gun when in the field, but is just 
breaking into the trapshooting sport, and we hope to 
have him with us quite often in the future.
