We have captains of industry, men whose achievements in business place them pre-eminent. There are also men whose achievements in trap shooting have placed them so far ahead of all others in this sport that they are worthy of the name of " Cap­ tains of Shooting." Sporting Life's Review of Trap Shooting for 1902 shows that last year these "Captains of Shooting" did the most phenomenal work ever done. We will go a step further and tell you that the most remarkable of all this wonderful shooting was done by the "Captains of Shooting " Who Shoot Gilbert, whose target record will stand for years to come; Hirschy, of Grand American Handicap fame; Crosby, the maker of many new records; Elliott, the cup winner; H. D. Bates, Harold Money, J. W. Garrett, Trimble, Atkinson, Fleming, Squier, Faurote, Griffith, Bower, Fox and a score of others who helped to make 1902 a high record year, all shot and all endorse Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. Their reliability and even shooting qualities were important factors in the making of the records, and the record makers will tell you so. When ordering your shells remember -that Winchester Factory Loaded Shells Won All the Honors in 1900, 190! and 1902.
