The 1910 Official Amateur Averages for 
single and Double Targets Won With 
Winchester 
REPEATING SHOTGUNS. 
i 
JAMES S. DAY. 
“I used your $27.00 
‘Pump’ all the year 1910. 
In fact I have never 
used any other In my 
shooting experience, 
which dates from 1903 
to the present time. 
You are aware that I 
have won many single 
and double target events 
and have heralded your 
gun as being the best 
and only reliable (thor¬ 
oughly) repeating shot¬ 
gun.” 
JAMES S. DAY. 
tj Such an endorsement from the man who won the Interstate 
Association s Official Amateur Average for single targets with .9728 
per cent, for 4280 targets—a record never equalled by any amateur- 
means much. It brings shooters face to face with the fact that for 
strong and even shooting and reliability of action, the Winchester 
Repeating Shotgun is the gun of guns. Its list price is only $97 00 
and it retails for less. 
u Th " °^ Cial Amateur Average for double targets was also won 
by a Winchester Repeating Shotgun, the winner being Mr. R. A 
Ring, of Delta, Colo., and his record .86 per cent. This showing by 
amateurs in 1910 is gun glory enough. The moral of it is plain,— 
To be in the Spotlight of Victory
