The Championship of 1906 
WON BY 
W. H. HEER and U. M. C. SHELLS 
He scored 96.3 per cent, of the 14,055 targets shot at during the year, 
making the HIGHEST YEARLY AVERAGE ever attained by any shooter, 
as shown by “ Sporting Life’s" Trap Shooting Review. This is the greatest 
honor in the trap shooting world, as well as the severest test which can be 
applied to shot shells. Mr. Heer’s Arrow Shells are always uniform in velocity, 
pattern and penetration, thus enabling him to go through a whole year with less 
than four targets missed out of every hundred shot at. Two of the four highest 
amateurs, Harry Taylor and O. N. Ford, used U. M. C. Shells exclusively, 
and five of the nine highest shooters who used one make of shells exclusively, 
shot U. M. C. make. U. M. C. Quality reigns supreme for 1906. 
U. M. C. Shells are Practically Perfection and are Steel Lined

The weather in New York and vicinity was all' that 
could be undesired on Saturday of last week, and as a 
consequence the attendance at the club shoots there¬ 
abouts was comparatively light. 
The team shoot between the North Caldwell, N. J., 
Gun Club and the Northside Gun Club of Paterson was 
fixed to be held on Saturday of last week, but because 
of the bad weather it was postponed to Jan. 26.
