attend a shoot at any of the many organ¬ 
ized gun clubs. It is perfectly “proper,” 
and she will always find a crowd of very 
courteous gentlemen who will not only be 
glad to see her, but also extend to her 
every possible courtesy. 
The first important thing for the begin¬ 
ner is to have a gun of proper fit. A mis¬ 
take often made by the novice is to try 
some gun, which, as a rule, is not suited 
to his particular make-up. If a lady, the 
borrowed gun is almost certain to be too 
long in the stock and as a rule too heavy; 
the result is that it is held in an awkward 
manner, the recoil received from the shot 
frightens the shooter and she loses all of 
her enthusiasm then and there. 
PATRIOTIC SHOOT IN CANADA 
The Dominion Game Protective and Trap 
Shooting Association will conduct a pa¬ 
triotic shoot at Sandwich, Ontario, August 
13 to 16, on the range of the Essex County 
Golf and Country Club. Records will prob¬ 
ably be established, and some of the larg¬ 
est stakes ever offered at a Dominion meet 
are on file. They are divided into forty- 
six prizes. The meet has a special pa¬ 
triotic significance—in that all profits will 
be turned over to the Canadian Patriotic 
and Red Cross funds. 
The Essex Club’s range is located at an 
attractive spot near the Detroit river, and 
is the rendezvous for trapshooters of sev¬ 
eral thriving Canadian border towns in¬ 
cluding Windsor, Walkerville and Ford. 
And for the first time a bid has been made 
for American shooters to compete. There 
ars some events for Canadians only, but 
there are parallel contests for marksmen 
from this side of the border; and there 
are several new events for both nationali¬ 
ties. 
There will be twenty-five events in all, 
including fifteen regular ones: Canadian 
amateur championship; American amateur 
championship; Canadian handicap cham¬ 
pionship ; American handicap champion¬ 
ship; all-round championship (in which 
each man shoots from 16, 18, 20 and 22 
yards, open to both nationalities) ; open 
championship—Canadian and American— 
everyone at 18 yards; two-man, five-man 
and eight-man team championships; and 
a consolation handicap. 
The shoot is registered by the Interstate 
Association. Five Western Traps are to 
be used, and the High Gun System will be 
employed for dividing the prizes.

NEWTON HIGH POWER RIFLES 
deliver a smashing blow anywhere along the line over the longest practical 
game-shooting ranges. The ammunition they use is not only of 3,000 f.s. velocity, 
but it has bullet weight enough to make it effective out where the game is. There 
is nothing else in its class for its calibers: 22, 256, 30 and .35. 
To see what a difference bullet weight makes in energy at long game shooting ranges, 
and in higher energy at the shorter ones, see the ballistics tables in our 148-page catalog, 
sent for stamp.
