The * Explora 9 System of Ball and Shot Gun, invented by 
Westley Kichards, increased the range of the bullet three fold.

one bullet (the “ Brass Capped ”) for large game with tough hides 
and another (the *• All Lead” ) for thin-skinned and lightly built 
animals.

Eight consecutive shots in 2-90 in. by 
3-60 in. was made by an Explora before Mr. 
Henry Sharp, author of The Gun, Afield and 
Afloat, November 1905. At the same trial 
the pattern with shot proved to be 142 
pellets on the 30 in. circle, 40 yards. 
A PUBLIC 1RIAL AT 300 YARDS. 
Speaking of the accuracy otthe “Explora,” 
the Editor of T he Field reports :—“The 
question has been settled in our presence. 
Remarkable is the fact that at 300 yards 
the shots were virtually speaking, contained 
in a square with 11| in. sides, Nov. 1904.”
