Trapshooter Must Take
Good Care Of Gun or
It Will Fail.


Trap and field shots have awakened
TO this fact only in the past few
years. Not one Of the high class
trapshots OF today goes 10 the traps
without a gun that has been built to
fit him.
You can't expect a track athlete to
give a good performance If his spiked
shoes are too large-or too small. nor
a socker player TO show his best in
street attire. nor a golfer to do ex-
celent work unless he has the proper
tools. so why shouldn't a shooter 20
to the traps OF go hunting in the
field with a gun that is made for
hime
in the past trapshooters have been
more or less careless in purchasing a
gun. Anything would debut they
have realized the error, and now they
are being fitted for a gun just like
you get fitted for a suit OF clothing.
And 30 must fit just as well as the
clothing 10 get results.
