•Why is the 77larfi/i Repeating Shotgun, Model No. 
17 , the best low-priced repeating shotgun in the world? 
By making this gun with a solid frame 
and a straight grip stock a number of parts 
have been eliminated. The result is a 
stronger, simpler, cleaner gun than any 
other repeating model and a very much 
less costly one. 
The exclusively fflar/in solid top’ and 
side ejection are features of Model 17 and 
to these famous fflar/isi ideas are added 
the new double extractor and a two-piece 
safety recoil block—devices which repeat¬ 
ing shotgun users will welcome. 
The 7 /Zar/in breech block and working 
parts are cut from solid drop forgings. 
The barrel of special rolled steel is bored 
for both smokeless powder and black. 
The guaranteed 7 /Zar/in pattern of 325 
pellets with oz. No. 8 shot in a 30 in. 
circle at 40 yards is maintained in Model 17. 
When the ducks come rushing in among 
the decoys or the grouse roar off through 
the dead leaves you cannot be armed with 
a better, quicker, harder-hitting gun than 
the 77 Zar/in Model 17. 
It is a first-class quail gun. For wood¬ 
cock, snipe, prairie chickens, sharp tail 
grouse or any other bird shooting it is un¬ 
surpassed. 
Its records at the traps are wonderful. 
the straight men, was first man up, and he missed his 
first bird, and then his following one, and his chances 
for the cup were decidedly a thing of the past. His 
many friends were truly sorfy tp see him lose at this 
stage of the game, but' it was a case of sleeping over 
night with a straight score. He had shot through the 
first 18 without a skip, centering the birds nicely, and 
the possibility is that if he had finished the first day he 
would have made a very different score; but then go 
back to the old live bird days, and you will remember 
that it is never ended as to how the score will be until 
the last bird has been shot. _ , 
Attention was then centered on Crosby and tosgaard, 
as every time they toed the mark they came within one 
more of the big silver cup. Crosby kept on steadily un¬ 
til the 22 d round, and there he had his bad half hour. 
When the .trap was sprung the bird proved to be a sit¬ 
ter and as there was some delay about puting it up, 
Bill got tired holding his gun, as it were, and when the! 
bird did start, it went away fast and low, slightly left-! 
quartering, and was off fast, and though hit by both) 
loads, topped the boundary wire. At this point _Fos-j 
gaard took another hitch in his belt, and now had it all 
his own way if he could pull through. 
He proved equal to the occasion, and when he drew 
the last bird, an easy left-quartering blue one, it was 
grassed, and it was all over but the congratulations. 
These came thick and fast, as he is one of the old Texas 
sports who has the good will of all who ever met him in 
the shooting game. He won a good sum of money, and 
a large, handsome silver cup. 
The score herewith in full will reveal to you the 
fellows who were near and yet out-lucked. Heikes lost 
his seventh and then bagged all the others. Crosby and 
Barkley took all in but one, as did Mr. Prade, the mar 
who never shot in a race before. This young man wil 
need watching in the future, as his showing here made 
stamps him as the “comer.” Charles Young s friend* 
are of the opinion that he shot a decidedly good race 
when it looked to them that he drew more than hr 
share of the fast ones. His bang, bang, was quick, anc 
his aim deadly. , , . „ 
Pop Heikes shot the autoloading, and shot it well 
save that one skip he made. Many people who have 
not shot a great deal at live birds fail to realize hov 1 
hard a thing it is to score 25 straight. 
Lee Barkley is not so much known as a live-bird sho 
as a target smasher, but when his Northern friends se> 
his score, they will think that Lee can point the pumpe 
at the right spot 
When this shoot was finished there was an attemp 
made to shoot an 8 -bird sweep to finish up the birds 
but there was not enough entries, and it was not shot

Following the competition of the live bird handles 
the boys were put through a series of six 20 -target ever 
which kept most of the boys guessing, when they we 
continually changing from one peg to the other. It d 
not bother Pop Heikes, as after shooting his first stri 
at 16, he shot all the others from 20 , and only lost 1 
99th target. Barkley came next and shot his 100 fro 
19 or 20yds. and missed but 4, while “Tobacco Bi 
lost 5.

fast, about 40yds—just right for big scores. ■ .
