Y OU know brant—shy wanderers of the lonely 
coasts. There is no wild fowl so bashful 
about coming to decoys—none so hard to 
lure within range. 
Fifty yards is close range for brant. And to kill 
a bird as big and befeathered as one of these coast 
vagrants at that distance your gun must shoot 
harder than the average. 
Lefever guns shoot a whole lot harder than the 
average. That is why the man who swings his 
Lefever on the grey breasts of a rearing pair of 
brants does not question what the result will be. 
He knows it— 
TWO CLEAN KILLS 
The reason Lefever guns kill clean and sure 
and far is Lefever Taper Boring. 
Pioneers in every sound improvement for 
almost half a century. Eighteen exclusive Lefever 
features, including never-shoot-loose bolt, strong 
three-fiece action, and take-up-wear screw on the 
1 inge joint, enable the same guns to keep on 
killing clean and far and true for a lifetime.

Washington, D. C.—As a result of the recommenda¬ 
tions of the National Board for Promotion of Rifle Prac- 
tice, which have been approved by the Secretary of \\ ar, 
the national rifle matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, which 
will be held next August, beginning Monday, Aug. .2, 
will present many new features of great interest to the 
shooting profession. The National Board met in Wash¬ 
ington in January with nineteen of the twenty-one mem¬ 
bers present. They were: Assistant Secretary of War 
Robert Shaw Oliver, President; Gen. Wm. P. Hall, 
U. S. A.; Capt. H. G. Learnard, U. S. A., Recorder; 
Lieut.-Com. Leigh C. Palmer, U. S. N.; Gen. Bird W. 
Spencer and Gen. P. Farmer Wanser, New Jersey; Gen. 
Lawrason Riggs, Maryland; Gen. George H. Harries, 
District of Columbia; Gen. Carl A. Wagner, Michigan; 
Gen. George W. Wingate and Gen. Charles F. Roe, New 
York; Gen. C. A. Kelley, Colorado; Gen. James A. 
Drain, Washington; Gen. Elliott C. Dill, Maine; Gen. 
E. C. Young, Illinois; Col. A. B. Critchfield, Ohio; 
Col. John Caswell, Massachusetts; Col. Roy Hoffman, 
Oklahoma, and Maj. Claude E. Goddard, Pennsylvania. 
It was agreed that the restrictions in regard to prelim¬ 
inary shooting on the range, in force last year, should 
be rescinded. The matches of the Ohio State Rifle As¬ 
sociation and the National Rifle Association of America, 
will be held prior to the national matches under ar¬ 
rangements to be made between these associations and 
the War Department. The Ohio authorities tendered the 
use of Camp Perry range and equipment, and the Board

“I want to thank you for the great pleasure you 
have afforded me during the past 35 years by mak¬ 
ing a gun that has stood the test that feW can equal. 
1 bought it the fall of 1870 and paid $170. 1 have now 
laid aside my old and true friend until such time 1 am laid 
to rest, when it will be in the box with me. I doubt if 
there ever was a gun made that has been so much used as 
mine. She has not cost me .five cents for repairs, and only last 
fall she was just as true as ever.” . . c .
