Why Trap Shooters 
Prefer This Wad 
I N trapshooting, success depends upon continued and 
constant effort; but the ammunition used should facili¬ 
tate such effort by providing the greatest possible uni¬ 
formity. 
On the ballistic range it is possible to secure indications 
of shell performance. Velocities can be measured in foot 
seconds, pressure and recoil in pounds, and patterns accu¬ 
rately spaced and counted. However, the expectation 
from these tests must be confirmed by the results in actual 
use. 
again will I have a boat shipped to 
the “jumping off place” before I have 
had a chance to swing it to my shoul¬ 
ders. At the time it was a black dis¬ 
appointment. Later, although we swore 
at them on the portage, we swore by 
them on the water. They were fast in 
the open lakes and strong in the tear¬ 
ing work of rocky rapids. 
After a square meal at the com¬ 
pany “hotel” a last inventory was 
taken and seven canoes pointed north 
and raced for the first point. The 
canoes seemed to glide forward with¬ 
out effort and the point was quickly 
reached and rounded; Kipawa sank 
back toward civilization, disappeared 
and the wilderness seemed to draw in 
upon us and urge us forward. 
A four-mile bay opened before us 
and we cut directly across it toward 
a seemingly unbroken line of wooded 
hills. Gradually a sligh break in the 
hills began to promise arid then opened 
as the portals of a castle to a friendly 
knight. We passed through a narrow 
gap and another broad-bosomed lake 
spread out before us. The same long 
line of hills bordered the lake into the 
distance. Great, long vistaed bays ex¬ 
tended in three directions; we took the 
one to the north. 
Night fell quickly, as it always does 
when one works hard at a pleasant 
occupation, and as the long shafts of 
orange and crimson light slowly 
touched the tops of the pines and 
flashed among the silvery aspens and 
slanted across the unbroken mirror of 
the lake’s surface, we rounded a point 
Entirely aside from hundreds of satisfactory tests on the 
ballistic range, the all round superiority of Cork-Tex wads 
has been proven in actual use by the experience of thou¬ 
sands of sportsmen in all parts of the United States. 
Further, Cork-Tex wads are very resilient—and are so 
strongly constructed that they do not blow 7 to pieces in 
firing; also the recoil of charge is noticeably diminished. 
This freedom from annoyance and shock has proven to be 
a very definite advantage wherever continued and constant 
effort is required. 
Trapshooters have welcomed Cork-Tex wadded shells.

and a subdued murmur of waters came 
in a continuous undertone down a nar¬ 
row bay that wound between brush- 
lined banks. A breeze seemed to spring 
up with the sinking of the sun and the 
aspens whispered and rustled like chil¬ 
dren hustling into cold beds and pull¬ 
ing the sheets high. 
A steady current coming from the 
inlet, waved the long lace-like water 
cress. The trees closed in, and round¬ 
ing another bend we looked across a 
narrow bay to the low dam at Turtle 
Portage. A freshening breeze bore the 
coolness of evening upon our faces. 
Through the drooping shades of 
night we made out the forms of two 
low squat cabins and a light in the 
window of one. A burst of laughter 
echoed across the darkening bay; it 
was the “boom gang”; we had not yet 
left civilization. Crossing the bay we 
drew up the canoes and entered the 
low doorway of a twenty by twenty- 
five cabin. A clatter of dishes and a 
shuffling of feet, a call of “‘enri, du 
pain” all the good natured uproar of 
a lumberman’s mess shack at grub 
time. A dozen men sat on long benches 
about a long table loaded with stackes 
of bread, pans of pork, pots of beans
