Hudson Gun Club. 
The Hudson Gun Club, of Jersey City, held its regular 
shoot on March 17, and with the aid of the weather 
man, who did his part in fine style, it was a big success. 
Fifty-three shooters faced the traps during the day, and 
about 10,000 targets were thrown, expert traps being used. 
The programme was made up of ten events, and called 
for 200 targets for each man. About twenty-five mem¬ 
bers and guests shot the programme through. 
The amateurs were present in large numbers, coming 
from all the nearby cities and towns. The trade, how¬ 
ever, was well represented, there being present J. A. R. 
Elliott, Billy Heer, Frank Butler, Al. Schoverling, Jack 
Fanning, Bob Schneider, Neaf Apgar and Harry Welles. 
They shot for targets only, and a pretty fight was wit¬ 
nessed between Jim Elliott and Billy Heer for pro¬ 
fessional honors. Billy Heer finally won out. 
High amateur average was won by Lou Schortemeier. 
Schorty has been shooting at targets and live birds for 
about twenty years, but is still able to hold his own with 
the best amateurs of the country. 
Fred Stone, of Red Mill fame, was in a very fast squad, 
and did his best to keep up with them, but it was a case 
of professional against amateur, and he was beaten, but 
not badly. . 
Mr. Lindley, the amateur champion of New Jersev, 
shot in only two events, and then dropped out, as he 
was not shooting up to his 1906 form. Following are

The Hundred-Shot Gallery Championship 
-WON WITH 
WINCHESTER 
.22 CALIBER CARTRIDGES 
Rudolph Gute, of Jefferson, N. Y., shooting Win¬ 
chester .22 Caliber Cartridges, won the ioo-Shot 
Gallery Championship at the Open Tournament of 
the Zettler Rifle Club of New York City with the 
wonderful score of 2469 out of 2500. This score 
beats that of the winner of the ioo-Shot Match at 
the recent Indoor .22 Caliber League Tournament 
by four points. With one exception, Mr. Gute s 
shooting is the best on record. 
BULLSEYE TARGET: 
/ 
H. M. Thomas, g l / 2 degrees, first, A. L. Lauden- 
sack, 11 degrees, second, shooting Winchester .22 
Caliber Cartridges and Winchester Single Shot 
Rifles. 
RING TARGET: 
Rudolph Gute and A. L. Laudensack making three 
“possibles” of 75, tied with four other shooters. 
Premium for most possibles in this match, Rudolph 
Gute, five “possibles” of 75, tieing with two other 
shooters. 
Such phenomenal scores only emphasize the generally accepted fact that foi 
accurate and uniform shooting, Winchester Rifles and Winchester Cartridges, of 
all calibers, are superior to all other makes. 
Ossining Gun Club. 
Ossining, N. Y., March 23.—To-day was the regular 
bi-monthly shoot of the Ossining Gun Club, but the at¬ 
tendance was above the average on account of a visit 
made by Messrs. Heer and Butler. Targets were thrown 
about 55yds., as usual, and none of the shooters reached 
90 per cent. In fact, Bedell, of the home club, was high 
in the 100 targets, which constituted the regular events, 
with 82 per cent 
Mr. Heer, though a top-notch expert, found the grounds 
exceedingly trying, as have all who have shot over them 
for the first lime. 
Event 6 was a handicap, misses-as-breaks, for a gold 
watch, offered by Col. Franklin Brandreth. This was 
one of the Colonel’s pleasant surprises in the trophy line. 
Bedell and Mullen tied, and in the shoot-off, event 7, 
Bedell won by a small margin. 
Evenr 8 was at 30 targets, distance handicap, for the 
beautiful vase donated hy the Hunter Arms Co. 1 wo 
barrels were allowed. 
This was 
the 
first 
of 
the 
series. 
and B'.andforl got a 
win with 12 from 
the 19yd. 
mark, 
negotiating 5 targets
