PRIDE OF RESULT HAT good shooting under hard condi T tions is to be preferred to high scoring under easy conditions was con clusively proved by the results of the re cent Southwestern Handicap, at Okla HERCULES HERCULES homa City, Okla. On the Handicap day a 40-mile gale of wind was blowing ac companied by a terrific dust storm. To smash targets under such conditions re quired the very finest kind of shooting. It was a severe trial and tested the met Score: 188x200 tle of the shooter to the limit. The scores were naturally far below normal, yet re Mr. Spotts also won the Preliminary Event, markably high for such conditions. The very difficulty of making scores spurred Score: 185 x 200 and 24 x 25 in shoot-off the shooters to go beyond their usual speed in scoring, and we venture to say and that the winners in that shoot did the very best shooting of their careers. The High Average of the Tournament most interesting thing was the pride dis played by the shooters who were fortu Score: 373 x400 nate enough to win prizes or score about the 90-mark. They considered that they HE above record confirms the reputation of Hercules Podwers, had indeed been shooting, quite a contrast T to their attitude when breaking 100 E.

You can be sure, always, straight under ordinarily easy conditions. that every load will give the same high velocity, uniform patterns This convinces us that the great majority of the shooters would rather win under and light recoil as the one that went before it. extremely hard conditions with an 85 per cent, score, than break 98 out of 100 with conditions easy. The trap shooter is not different from the ordinary mortal. He appreciates most what he works hardest to attain. WILMINGTON DELAWARE

Y INVITATION; 95 Out of 100 from 21 Yards The High MELMBCR OF Score at Oklahoma City Made with a

Repeating Shotgun and Loaded Shells © HIS was the score that outshone all others and set shooters a-talk- ing at the Southwestern Handicap Tournament, held at Oklahoma pig City, April 14-16th. It also won the preliminary Handicap for R. A. Stsssfi King, of Delta, Colo., the man who made it. Such a score by an amateur, from such a long mark, in such a big tournament, shows great skill and nerve, and the possibilities of the most reliable gun and shells. Winchester shotguns and shells are that kind. Their superiority was further demonstrated by the High Professional score of 94 x 100 from 22 yards made with them in the Preliminary Handicap by C. G. Spencer. KEW YORK.U.©SA* Because of their quality, which makes such high c©ass shooting possible, Winches ter guns and ammunition are rightly considered the "Leaders of the World."
