The Parker gun has taken its share of honors this season, many of the notable winnings being to the credit of users of the Parker. Fred. Gilbert's work stands at the top and no one has ever maintained the remarkably high average, tournament after tournament, as he has this year. The Grand American Handicap at flying targets was won by Chas. Floyd, using a Parker gun. John Parker won the live bird championship of Michigan, using a Parker gun. B. Le Roy has won several flrst averages with a Parker gun. C. W. Budd has held the Hazard live bird trophy against all coiners, killing 96 put of 100 in one match, and 100 straight in another, with only one miss in his last 190, and 169 straight kills. This is certainly a great performance. The Parker gun is noted for its regular, even shooting power, and the records of those using it prove this assertion. Write Parker Bros., Meriden, Conn., for latest catalogue.
