AN UNPRECEDENTED RECORD 
Southern Handicap Honors and the Famous “E. C.” Cup won in the same week with 
SKells 
At the Southern Handicap, Columbus, Ga , May 14-16, nearly a clean sweep of 
averages and trophies was made by users of “steel where steel belongs’* shells: 
HIGH GENERAL AVERAGE, - 
394 ex 400 
Including runs of 131 and 109 unfinished 
By H D . Freeman. 
$500.00 COLUMBUS CUP, ■ ■ 557 ex 600

and handicap event, by H. W. Kahler.

High Average for Doubles, - - 93 ex 50 pairs 
By Lester S. German. 
2(1 in Handicap-from 23 yards, 89 ex 100 
By H. W. Kahler. 
So complete a victory has never been won at an Interstate Association 
Handicap Tournament by any make of ammunition. 
At the same time the guns were cracking at the Southern Handi¬ 
cap there were some “big doings” at the West Virginia State 
Shoot, Fairmont. 
The “E. C.” Cup 
Representing the World’s Inanimate Target Championship 
First shot for in 1896, and the coveted prize in eighteen contests 
since then, was placed in open competition by the Fairmont Gun 
Club, and 20 amateurs and professionals entered. C. A. Young, 
of Springtield, Ohio, not only won the trophy, but did so by 
A RECORD SCORE 
184 out of 200

Expert Rules. - - • 44 ex 50 
Doubles, . . - - . 42 ex 25 pairs 
Total, - - 184 ex 200 
Mr. Young won HIGH PROFESSIONAL AVERAGE, 288 ex 300

All of which goes to prove that PETERS Shells, with steel where steel belongs, are 
actually the be^t e-ver, and remember, the 
“TARGET” and “HIGH GUN” are HIGH GRADE at a MEDIUM PRICE.
