The Highest Score At the Metropolitan Championship Shoot Made With WrMCffBSTER Loaded Shotgun Shells The 9<*-77% Kind- ESTER GERMAN, shooting Winchester Factory Loaded Shells, out-shot the field of I?? entries at the big shoot held in Montclair, N..J., April 7th, ana made the splendid score of 97 out of 100 targets. Such a score tells its own story of skill and uniform, even-shooting shells. Of the Amateurs, W. J. Sortor, shooting Winchester Shells, was second with 92 breaks, and W. A. Kennedy, shooting Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and a Win chester Repeating Shotgun, was third. Winchester Factory Loaded Shells and Winchester Repeating Shotguns, the Red W Combination, usually win the lion's share of the money and honors. In 1908 Charles G. Spencer out-shot the world with them, his record being 96.77% for 11,175 shots. If you have been handicapped by gun or shells, try the Red W Combination and you'll LESTEB GERMAN. see the difference.
