“Warning No. 2” 
Warning No. 1 is for the nimrod who goes home with the farmers’ geese in his 
hunting coat. 
Warning No. 2 is for the benefit of you, Mr. "Trapshooter,” who goes home with the 
goose eggs in your scores, which you should eliminate by using one of "Bill Miller’s" 
ventilated sighting ribs on your single barrel gun, for the following good reasons, viz.: 
It positively prevents blurring of front sight, caused by radiation from a hot barrel, 
and enables a clear view of object aimed at. 
The top being concaved and finely matted its full length, gives a distinct alignment 
of your barrel, or in other words a similar effect to a telescopic sight. 
Prevents undershooting on rising targets (which is about 98% of all targets thrown) 
by providing for proper muzzle elevation without completely covering the target from 
view, or raising your eye at breech (a good cause for cross firing). 
It does not mar the appearance of your gun in any manner, and can be removed at a 
moment’s notice, which however you will not do or permit after giving it a fair trial. 
Being machined out of a solid bar of steel, is very light (about 3 oz.) and strong, 
and made throughout in a first class manner, and finished in a dead black. 
And most important of all, it has been thoroughly tried out and successfully used by a 
large number of shooters (one a state champion,) who have so greatly increased their 
scores that they would not be without it. “ASK THEM."—I’ll tell you who they are. 
And the price is such that you are losing money by not using it, which one day's trial 
at a tournament will prove.
