THE AMATEUR TRAP SHOOTING CHAMPIONSHIP OF AMERICA WON WITH TC ACTORY LOADED SHELLS J. H. Heudrickson, of the Queens County Gun Club, Long Island City, N. Y.,won the Amateur Trap Shooting Championship of America at the New York Athletic Club grounds December i4th, breaking 94 out of TOO targets. John W. Garrett, of Colorado Springs, was second with a score of 93 Messrs. Hendrickson and Garrett both shot Winchester Factory Loaded "Leader" Shells, thereby displaying great wisdom as well as great skill. If you would shoot to win, you must shoot the shells the winners shoot, and they are Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. Their invariable uniformity, relia bility, evenness of pattern and strong shooting qualities, which make them the choice of the great majority of intelligent shooters, are not equaled by any other brand. This last important victory with them is A FITTING FINALE FOR A YEAR OF TRIUMPHS
