Brownsville, Pa., June 29. — The two-day registered tournament of the Brownsville Rod and Gun Club, on June 27 and 28, proved an attractive event, particularly to the crack shooters returning from the Grand American Handicap. As a result nearly a half hundred marksmen faced the, traps for the two days.
Lester German, the famous shooter from Aberdeen, Md., who won the professional single and doubles championship of America, at the Grand American, was the high gun over all for two days with 291 out of 300. H. H. Stevens, of New Rochelle, N. Y., was second professional with 288 broken, and Horace Kirkwood, of Wollaston, Mass.. third expert, with 282. The amateur honors for two days fell to Lon Fisher, of Columbus, who broke 290.
AT THE GRAND AMERICAN HANDICAP, Columbus, Ohio, June 23, 1911, Mr. Lester German, of Aberdeen, Md., won the Professional Championship from the 18 yard mark, with the remarkable score of 198 out of 200 targets, defeating the best shooters in the country. Ever since the inauguration of this high class event, it has been won by The Old Reliable Parker, and is conceded to be the severest test of man and gun. It also emphasizes the fact that The Parker Gun is the strongest shooting, and makes the most even pattern of any gun made. The Professional Championship is a scratch event—all shooters standing on the 18 yard mark.
Mr. German the same day again demonstrated the value of The Parker Gun in competition, by defeating a large field of the best shooters in the country in the Championship event at double targets, breaking 89 out of 100,from the 16yard mark.
In the Preliminary Handicap Mr. C. B. Eaton, an amateur of Fayette, Mo., shooting The Parker Gun, made the phenomenal score of 99 out of 100 targets, and tied with Mr. Buckwalter. In the shoot-off Mr. Eaton defeated his opponent with a straight run of 20, thus winning the event.
This remarkable shooting is only one of many reasons why you should shoot The Parker Gun
