Feb. 3, 1906

At the Arizona Sportsmen's Association tournament at Phoenix, December 28-31, Mr. J. N. Aitken, using a Parker gun, was high on the first and second days, and high for the four days with ail average of 933 per cent. He also won the Copper Queen trophv and the Gwynn trophy. Mr. Aitken is an amateur shot.
The following is a record of J. F. Hurt, Tazewell, Va. for 1905. Mr. Hurt, is an amateur, shooting the Parker gun, with which these scores were made: Total number of targets shot at 7125; total number of targets broken 6621; average for the entire season, over 92 per cent. In the five successive days' shoot at local grounds at Tazewell, Va. in August, Mr. Hurt broke 481 out of 500 targets, an average of 96 per cent. At the shoot at Tazewell Fair September 12, Mr. Hurt broke 94 out of 100; winning first prize and high gun. Second day at Tazewell Fair he broke 189 out of 200, winning high gun and first money and first prize in all ten events participated in during the day, in which contest over thirty shooters participated.
At the Grand Canadian Handicap, held at Hamilton. Ont. January 16 to 19, the Old Reliable Parker Gun was much in evidence. Thomas Upton, winner of the live-bird event, with a score of 34 out of 35, is an exceptional record at live birds, and reflects credit upon the Parker gun. Live bird shooting is the most severe test of a shot gun, and this record is particularly flattering to Parker Bros. The first, second and third amateur averages at inanimate targets were carried off by Parker guns in the hands of C. E. Doolittle of Cleveland; Jay D. Green, Avon, N. Y., and H. D. Kirkover. Jr., of Buffalo, respectively, showing that the Parker gun is a winner in the hands of amateurs, no matter where used.
