DARDEVLE 
Try it for Your 
Fall Fishing 
D ARDEVLE has been 
on the market contin¬ 
uously for 5 years. 
You will like Dardevle. 
For casting it is ideal. It 
has weight but no bulk, 
cuts the air clean and 
gives you greater accur¬ 
acy and distance. Its 
flashing sides and wobb¬ 
ling motion prove un¬ 
commonly attractive to 
all game fish —Trout, 
Bass, Pike and Pickerel. 
Fine for trolling too. 
Dardevle may look un¬ 
interesting to you but 
believe me it does attract 
the fish. Hundreds of 
thousands in use. You 
try it too—on the word 
of one fisherman to 
another. If your dealer 
hasn’t got Dardevle send 
direct to me.

F. C. TAYLOR FUR CO. 
St. Louis, Mo 
time that a new frame is hung. At 200 
yards the target is pulled down after 
each shot. A one or two-inch spotter 
is placed in the bullet hole, the target 
is again raised and a marking disc is 
used to signal the value of the shot. 
If it is a bullseye, the disc is all white. 
If the shot counts but 4, the red disc 
is flashed. If it is a 3, the maltese cross 
is used. If it is a 2, a black disc is 
used. Anything less is a miss and the 
red flag is waved across the target. 
This, of course, has pretty much the 
same effect on the riflemen as the red 
flag has on a bull—it makes him mad. 
Practically all shooting at all dis¬ 
tances is done prone, although the 
kneeling and standing positions are 
used sometimes to vary the monotony. 
It is quite a rare performance for 
any marksman to record the possible 
score of 100 in a match when shooting 
at 100 yards. During the eastern small 
bore championship matches at Sea Girt, 
N. J., from June 30th to July 4th, this 
year, only five possibles were made dur¬ 
ing the entire shoot. There were nearly 
100 marksmen and probably 50,000 
shots were fired during the five days of 
shooting. 
On the other hand, at 50 yards the 
possible is frequently made. At that 
range the 10 ring in the bullseye is 
one inch in diameter and the 9 ring be¬ 
ing one-half inch, makes the bullseye 
2 inches. Something like fifty possibles 
were made at 50 yards during the same 
shoot. 
At the short distances, that is, 50 and 
100 yards, marksmen do their own 
spotting, the target being the score 
card. A shooter may use a low or high 
power spotting scope, depending on his 
judgment as to which will give the best 
results. Regardless of whether the 
shooter uses the ordinary iron sights 
or the telescope, a spotting scope is 
quite necessary, as it enables him to 
follow the shots and make corrections 
either for windage or elevation. Some 
shooters prefer iron sights and this de¬ 
pends too on their vision. The man who 
has good vision and uses iron sights 
is not handicapped but really has an 
advantage over the man with a tele¬ 
scope for the principal reason that the 
telescope is a delicate instrument and 
has a bad habit of causing wild shots 
for no apparent reason. 
For the rifle club of modest means 
and not possessing much ground space, 
it is best that the shooting be confined 
to the 50 and 100 yard distances, be¬ 
cause as no pit is used, it is not neces¬ 
sary to employ pit boys and one boy 
can handle a frame which takes care 
of five shooters at one time. For 200 
yard shooting, a pit is necessary and 
one boy to operate each target. A score
