On January 11-13, 1911, The "OLD RELIABLE" PARKER GUN, shot by Howard D. Bates, of of Ridgetown, Ont, again won the Grand Canadian Handicap at live birds killing 25 straight and 9 in the shoot-off, from the limit distance of 31 yards.
Mr. Bates shot at 54 birds during the tournament and killed them all. This is some shooting!
