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 generally 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 Leferer. 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 worth. 
Fer 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.

Gloucester Gun Club. 
Gloucester City, N. J., March 2. —There were two 
well contested shooting matches at bluerocks here to¬

and in the shoot-off the former won. Frank Butler

Prickett, Martel and Dasch.

The sixteenth annual hundred-shot gallery champion¬ 
ship match and prize shoot for 1912 will be held March 
9 to 16, under auspices of the Zettler Rifle Club.

Cadet Capt. Leo R. Leeper, captain of the Uni¬ 
versity of Iowa team, leaders in the western division 
of the Intercollegiate Indoor Rifle Shooting League, 
was a charter member of the rifle club of this 
university, and one of those mostactiye in its organi¬ 
zation. For two years he served most efficiently as its secre¬ 
tary, and has been on its team each j;ear, always shooting 
consistently good scores. He has twice won the Captain 
M. C. Mumma medal, in 1910 and 1911, given for the 
highest total score made in the League matches during 
the year by a member of the Iowa team. His average 
for the matches of 1911 was 191 2-5 out of a possible 200; 
several times he shot 195, which was the record score for 
the League in 1910. Four years out of five he has won 
the Colonel Burnett medal, given each year to the best 
shot in the University Cadet Regiment. Mr. Leeper’s 
work has made him one of the most prominent mem¬ 
bers of the team, which last year gained the champion¬ 
ship of the Intercollegiate League, and whose shooting 
thus far this year promises to give Iowa a very high 
rank again. 
All targets that are not shot at the close of the shooting 
each day must be returned to the secretary. 
Competitors may hold shooting stations as long as 
desired, providing, however, they continue shooting. 
Any sights, including telescopic as well as palm rests 
permitted. Distance of all targets 75 feet, only .22 short 
cartridges to be used. In all cases the decision of a 
majority of the shooting committee present will be final. 
Handling rifles or other property of contestants with¬ 
out permission is strictly prohibited. 
Entrance fee $5. Each contestant to fire 100 shots on 
20 targets of 5 shots each, the regular 25 (14) inch ring 
target to be used. To be completed on same day the

The best-made
