FOREST AND STREAM. 
[Jan. 7, 1911. 
ANOTHER YEAR HAS PASSED AND THE MARVELOUS SCORE OF 
2481 OF A POSSIBLE 2500 
made at Grand Rapids, Mich., in 1906 by W. A. TEWES, with 
SEMI-SMOKELESS 
CARTRIDGES 
Still stands as the WORLD’S RECORD in .22 cal. indoor Shooting. SEMI-SMOKELESS Ammunition, for nearly 15 years, has defied 
competition and imitation. It is the original and only SEMI-SMOKELESS—others have tried to produce something just as good, but 
have failed and are ever sure to fail, because SEMI-SMOKELESS powder is protected by patents, and The Peters Cartridge Company is the 
on y company having the right to load it in cartridges and shells. PETERS Rifle and Revolver cartridges, excepting of course the smokeless 
sixes, t are loaded with SEMI-SMOKELESS only (not a grain of black powder), but are sold at the same price as ordinary black powder goods. 
SEMI-SMOKELESS cartridges have made good, and have won their present leading position in the ammunition world on merit. 
t too °j r Shooting season is now in full swing, and in deciding upon your ammunition, do not be misled; specify PETERS SEMI-SMOKE- 
an(1 dealer will understand. Do not accept a substitute, but stick to the kind that has made and now holds the most important 
world s records, and that has done more than anything else to make possible the marvelous improvement in scores, and the greatlv increased 
popularity of Rifle and Revolver target shooting. > & j

Rapid Fire Shoot at Los Angeles. 
Six members of the Los Angeles Rifle and Revolver 
Club met at the Glendale range in Los Angeles on 
Dec. 18, for the purpose of working out a new rapid 
nre system, devised by Stewart Edward White, the well- 
known writer, who is a member of the club. A new 
muzzle rest was also initiated by the members, wishing 
tr y ou f new loads or check up the accuracy of their 
rifles. In the timed fire system, the object of the in¬ 
ventor was to get away from the old slow fire military 
style of shooting, and to encourage speed of fire as well 
as accuracy. In the plan the member stands to the 
ready until the command to fire is given, when he throws 
his rifle to his shoulder and fires as quickly as he can 
and still hit the target at 200yds. 
The time between the command and the discharge is 
noted. For each second over 18 seconds one point is 
taken away from each shot, and for each second under 
18, one point is added.

Annual Awards of California Schuetzen Club. 
The California Schuetzen Club, one of the oldest in 
the State, founded in 1876, held its closing contest for 
the year in California Schuetzen Park on Dec. 18. This 
is the club which was originally organized to send a 
team to the Centennial Exposition at Philadelphia in 
1876, and which had the satisfaction of having its team 
capture the highest honors at the international com¬ 
petition there. 
F. O. Bratton this year made the highest score in the 
yearly handicap competition, winning the first bullseye 
premium on a score of 46 from the dead center, and the 
top prize for the best bullseye of the year. Frank H. 
Bremer made the ten highest scores of the year in the 
medal competition; Otto A. Bremer made the highest 
single ten-shot score of the year. Wm. F. Blasse won 
the medal in the pistol competition.

MANY MISSES. 
The hunt came about in this wise. Frank, 
‘‘Ruf” and “Gi” had been out for the day and 
brought home seven woodcock and two par¬ 
tridges. So when during the evening chat Jake 
suggested that he and I go out the next day I 
agreed at once. We first drove about five miles 
to a very good looking ground, and hitching 
our horse to the fence hunted through the 
alders on each side of the creek without finding 
a bird. Coming back, we hunted along the 
edge of some woods near the creek and alders, 
where it was swampy, and there was an oc¬ 
casional bunch of alders. As we walked by one 
of the bunches we heard a woodcock whistle, 
but did not see him. We called the dog, who 
was working closer to the woods; he came and 
promptly nailed the bird in an adjoining clump. 
We got into position and Jake ordered the dog 
to flush him. It was Jake’s shot and he killed 
with the first barrel. As this was the end of 
this ground and it was after noon, we went to 
the buggy and ate our lunch, while our horse 
was eating her grain. 
Lunch over with, we started for a ground 
famous for woodcock. The mare knew what 
we were after and pulled up at the post in the 
fence where we always hitch. 
The grounds were very wet, and I was thank¬ 
ful that I had taken the precaution to wear hip 
boots. The dog splashed around, and soon dis¬ 
appeared in some very thick alders; and as he 
did not come out when he naturally would in 
quartering his ground, we knew he had located 
a bird. Jake was on one side of the alders and 
I on the other. I called to Sim to order the 
dog to “put ’em up,” which he did, and away 
went the bird. I caught a glimpse of it and 
fired, but failed to stop it. Jake said he “did 
not see it, but from the noise it made getting 
up out of the bushes thought it was a par¬ 
tridge.” After correcting his ideas on this 
point, we moved on as far as a creek, which was 
too deep to wade, so we decided to hunt up the 
creek on the side we were on. As we turned 
to start I asked Jake where the dog was. He 
did not know and began to call and whistle. 
After a while he came to us and Jake ordered 
him on, but he at once turned and started back 
in the direction he -had just come from, look¬ 
ing at us the while as if he wanted us to go 
with him. I said, “Jake, he has a bird back 
there.” Sure enough, after going a few rods, 
he circled around a bunch of alders and came 
to a handsome point. I immediately wallowed 
through the mud and water to an open spot, and 
as soon as I got in position Jake walked in and 
put up the bird, which did not fly exactly as I 
had calculated, but I fired through -the alders. 
A second later Jake fired, and I tried again 
with my second barrel. I thought I saw the 
bird fall on the other side of the alders, but a 
search failed to find him, so we concluded that 
we had both missed. 
We hunted down the creek for some dis¬ 
tance, but the dog did not show game; so I 
decided to go back to where I thought I saw 
the bird fall, and take another look. After. I 
had been there some little time without finding 
him, I heard Jake calling me; and I hurried to 
him. As soon as I got there he said, “There 
is a bird in here somewhere; you go out there,” 
pointing to an open spot, “and I will stay here.” 
When we were in position he ordered the dog 
on, and he flushed a bird, which Jake missed 
with both barrels, a beautiful right-quartering 
bird. 
I then started down the creek, on the bank 
of which at this place was a thick fringe of 
cedars. Up went a woodcock from among the
