“BRUSH SHELLS” 
A Big Boon to Bird Shooters 
Winchester “Brush” Shells long ago passed the 
experimental stage. They have stood the tests of 
the most critical bird shooters and have won their 
enthusiastic endorsement. They not only help 
wonderfully to make big bags when used in any 
gun, but they enable a sportsman to use a full 
choked trap or duck gun for bird shooting and get 
as good results as a brush gun would give. Re¬ 
member the big even spread of shot that Winchester 
“Brush” Shells give is obtained without the loss of 
velocity or penetration—the all important factors in 
a good load. Winchester “Brush” Shells are loaded 
in Leader and Repeater cases and are sold by 
dealers everywhere. 
TRY THEM ONCE AND YOU’LL 
USE THEM ALWAYS 
St. Louis Trapshooters’ Association. 
St. Louis, Mo. —The annual fall merchandise tourna¬ 
ment of the St. Louis Trapshooters’ Association, reg¬ 
istered, held Oct. 3, was the greatest success of any ever 
held by this organization. The attendance was a great 
deal larger than was realy expected, although we had 
deal larger than was really expected, although we had 
shoot of the season, and we can safely say it was the 
largest shoot ever held in this city. The number of 
entries totalled 114. All entered for the entire pro¬ 
gramme, but unfortunately we could not shoot the en¬ 
tire programme on account of darkness. Many entries 
were received that did not get a chance to shoot. 
The programme called for 100 targets, divided into five 
events of 20 targets each, was started immediately at 
1 o’clock, schedule time, and from that time until dark¬ 
ness interfered, it was a constant fire over two sets of 
traps with twenty-three squads in line. 
The weather conditions were ideal for the sport, the 
grounds being packed with many friends of the shooters, 
who appreciated the shooting of the many crack shots 
at the firing line. 
Many local shooters that have not shot over the traps 
this season came out to help make this a successful 
shoot, and the good fellowship that was shown among 
the shooters leads one to believe that the trapshooting 
game will take a considerable boost from now on in 
this locality. 
For the success of this tournament particular credit is 
due to the officers and members of this Association, as 
well as every club in St. Louis, who tried their utmost 
to have as many shooters as possible present at this 
tournament. The Blue Wing Club was well represented, 
while the Central and Fannhauser clubs _ had many 
members take part. From East St. Louis, Ill., the 
Progressive Gun Club brought several squads. Many 
out-of-town clubs were present: New Athens, Ill., came 
with a strong bunch of twelve shooters, while Free- 
burg, Belleville and Alton, Ill., gun clubs were also 
present. Joe Gray and Hicklin, of Farber, Mo., and 
Mr. Macomber, of Rich Hill, Mo., also took part. 
At the outset it could be seen there was a battle 
royal on for high average prize, and the finish showed 
J. W. Bell, W. H. Clay and Homer Clark tied with 79 
out of a possible 80. This tie will be shot off at a later 
date. Peter Baggerman and Geo. Lauth were tied for 
second amateur average with 77 out of 80. The pro¬ 
fessionals, Arthur Killam, of St. Louis, and W. R. 
Crosby, of O’Fallon, 
Ill., were 
tied : 
for 
high ; 
average 
with a score of 79 out 
of 80.
