Columbus Gun Club. 
Columbus, O., Feb. 3.—The Circleville team came up 
Thursday, Feb. 3, as arranged, bringing eleven men 
along, so the team shoot was eleven men on a side, 60 
targets per man. The Ideal boys naturally felt chesty 
after winning every match they have had with Columbus, 
but when they left the chestiness was gone, and in its 
place were a big supper and plenty of good humor, 
having had a great day of shooting. 
The weather could not have been much worse—rain in 
the morning, then turning to snow and a blizzard, which 
accounted for the low scores. 
The Columbus team, won by one bird. It was a very 
close race all the way through. Not until the last shot 
was fired did either team know which would win. The 
teams were tied up to the last 40 birds, when Smith and 
Carson shot 20 each. The captain scored 17 to Smith 16, 
winning the race by one bird. 
The honor of making the best score fell to G. M. 
Stout, of the Ideals, and Lon Fisher, of the Columbus 
team, with 44. Harry Smith and Ben Bolin had 43 each. 
A return match will be shot some time the latter part 
of March, each team having won a match. It was a 
shame to take their money.

Don’t forget our big midwinter shoot, Feb. 22 and 23, 
with one cent a target set aside for average money and 
some nice prizes to shoot for. Nobody barred. All 
stand 16 to 20 yds. 
The biggest shoot ever pulled off—July 12-15, registered. 
The entire profits on targets will be given back to the 
shooters or iy 2 cent a target given in average money. 
Think of it. Suppose we have 100 shooters for the three 
days, 600 targets, that will mean $900 average money. 
The 12th will be preliminary day, 100 targets; this day 
will go to the club. Also there will be some nice prizes 
to shoot for. Lon Fisher, Sec’y-Mgr.

Target Practice at Home 
—in the attic or cellar, or right in your apartment if room ar¬ 
rangement permits —is entirely practical with a home-made 
bullet catcher and the new 
Model 25 Zfflar/zn Repeater—.22 short or C. B. caps 
This is a perfect Marlin repeating rifle that shoots 15 .22 short or 18 C. B caps at one 
loading. Its take-down construction and trombone action are popular and desirable 
features ; the side ejection favors rapid, accurate firing ; the removable side-plate makes 
it especially easy to keep clean and serviceable. 
The C. B. caps are entirely accurate 
and satisfactory in this short range 
work, yet they are the cheapest form 
of reliable ammunition made. 
With .22 short cartridges it is very 
accurate and powerful enough for 
all small game shooting up to 50 
yards. 
The price of this excellent new model is surprisingly low—send a postal today for circular 
with large illustration and full description. Complete catalog for three stamps postage.

Enable Hunters to Reload their HIGH POWER RIFLE SHELLS, 
thus economizing and Getting Satisfactory Results 
We have hundreds of letters like the following : “ We have tested your Gas-Check Bullets, and tney 
appear to be in every way equal to factory metal jacketed bullets; at exactly the same elevation they gave fully 
as good targets. They heat the barrel less and we believe their action would give a longer life to the barrel. 
We have no hesitation in recommending these bullets for use in Marlin rifles if the reloading is properly done.
