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-s/tool-loose bolt, strong 
three-piece 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.

Montclair Gun Club. 
Montclair, N. J., Feb. 12.—The six men who showed 
up at the traps to-day found rather unfavorable weather 
for good scores—cold and blustery. Aside from a run 
of 23 on the first event by C. L. Bush, scores were 
hardly passable. 
Scores made in events 3 and 4 counted on the Feb¬ 
ruary cup. G. W. Boxall won with the low score of 38. 
The club will hold its annual shoot on the morning 
of Washington’s Birthday, with silver trophies for 
every one. 
No shooting on the 26ih.

THE 
PARKER 
GUN 
During 1909 Mr, Fred Gilbert shot at 19310 targets, breaking 
18425, or 95.41%. This included double and single targets, both 
in practice and handicap events. Of course Mr. Gilbert shot, 
as he always does, his Old Reliable Parker Gun. 
Mr. Woolfolk Henderson, during the year 1909, shot at 9495 targets and broke 9008 or 94.87%. 
By making this splendid record Mr. Henderson won high average among amateurs shooting 
at more than 3000 targets. Mr. Henderson also shot the Old Reliable Parker Gun. 
What better proof can there be of the sterling shooting qualities of this gun that so justly 
has earned the title of the Old Reliable Parker Gun.
