New York State Tournament 1899
C.M. Powers, of Decatur, Ill., made the best general average for both classes, breaking 477 out of 500, an average of .954 per cent. He used a
Parker gun, DuPont powder, loaded in Leader shells by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
Charlie Young again showed his skill and might have landed first average had he not exhausted his regular load and made a change. This caused him a loss of 13 targets in the last four events of the race. As it turned out, he was second, with an average of .948 per cent., having broken 474 out of 500. He used an L.C. Smith gun, Schultze powder and U.M.C. factory-loaded shells.
