THE HALL OF FAME FOR 1907 
S EARCH shooting history since the day of the blowgun; scrutinize the records with a microscopic eye if you 
will; but be assured that you will not find any such winnings or any such phenomenal scores as those 
made during the year 1907 by shooters who used Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and Winchester 
Repeating Shotguns—the Red W brand. Their record is as convincing as it is complete. Read it and reflect, 
and if out to better your scores in 1908 , follow the example of the men who know and shoot Winchester Factory 
Loaded Shells and Winchester Shotguns. A few of the most important victories that have been won with 
Winchester Red W goods were: 
HIGH YEARLY AVERAGE FOR 1907 
For the fifth time during the last seven years this coveted honor was won by Fred Gilbert with Winchester Factory 
Loaded Shells. He shot at 9,195 targets, breaking 8,817, an average of 95.8%. Such phenomenal shooting, so con¬ 
sistently maintained for a period of years, not only speaks volumes for Mr. Gilbert’s great skill, but also for the uniform 
shooting of Winchester Shells, which he uses exclusively. 
97.18%—FOR 3,300 TARGETS-97.18% 
This unprecedented average was made in open tournaments at regulation targets by W. R. Crosby, shooting Winchester 
Factory Loaded Shells. Under like conditions, J. Mowell Hawkins made an average of 96.88% for 3,820 targets; and 
J. R. Taylor, 96.63% for 3,150 targets. Messrs. Hawkins and Taylor both shot Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and 
Winchester Shotguns. These averages far surpass past records and proclaim the superiority of Winchester goods—the 
Red W brand. 
HIGH AMATEUR AVERAGE FOR 1907 
Again Winchester Factory Loaded Shells made a clean sweep of the amateur honors ; first, second and third high averages 
being won by shooters who used them. An Illinois amateur was first with 94.5% for 4,730 targets; G. E. "Kelsey” 
second with 94.1% for 1,520 targets; and J. W. Garrett and E. M. Arnold third with 93.8% for 2,890 and 1,900 
targets, respectively. Mr. Garrett shot a Winchester Repeating Shotgun. 
11 OUT OF THE FIRST 14 HIGH MEN 
Eleven out of the first fourteen average winners shot Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. Of the eleven, C. G. Spencer, 
J. Mowell Hawkins, J. R. Taylor, L. R. Barkley, Harold Money and J. W. Garrett shot Winchester Repeating Shot¬ 
guns, which is most convincing proof that
