R. Crosby 99, John S. Boa 99, John R. Taylor 98, J. M. Hawkins 98 and Mrs. Topperwein 96. Total 490 out of 500. All used Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, and the high scores they have been able to maintain on the trip so far, which include 100 straight each by Crosby and Hawkins, bid fair to set a new standard for merit in loaded shotgun shells.
