MR. J. W. AKARD 
“King of Rifle Shots” 
NEW WORLD'S RECORD 
15,000 Targets Without a Miss 
J. W. Akard, of Fairplay, Missoun, has earned his title to - The King of 
Rifle Shots.” Between October 11th and 16th he tossed and broke without a 
miss 15,000 regulation clay targets. “This 1s supported by affidavits. He worked 
successive days until he became tired, cleaning his rifle only at night. He used 
U. M. C. .22 Short CARTRIDGES 
which supported his skillful aim by their unexcelled accuracy and uniformity. 
This almost unbelievable piece of work could only have been done with perfect 
cartridges. Last August Mr. Akard tossed and hit without a miss 1,659 marbles, 
which is also a world’s record. Mr. Akard’s performances displaced previous 
world’s records of 8,862 flying wooden blocks without a miss and 961 ex 1,000 
marbles. Mr. Akard tossed his own targets instead of having an assistant do the 

work for him. 
Affidavits of two eye witnesses guarantee the above record 
to be genuine and correct.
