 PETERS TAKES 3 OUT OF 5 FIRSTS IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA REVOLVER LEAGUE MATCHES

CAPT. M. L. VALLANCE, of Beverly Hills, California, shooting in the .22

caliber Individual Match National Course of the Southern California
Revolver League Matches, chalked up a 92 at 50 yards slow fire; a 99,
time; and a 97 at 25 yards rapid fire—for a total of 288 x 300 to win
the event... with Peters Rustless Filmkote .22’s.

G. E. WARD, shooting Peters ammunition, won the Grand Aggregate

with a total of 837. He used Peters Rustless Filmkote .22’s, Peters
-38 Specials and Peters .45 Auto. MRS. ESTHER SICKLER, of San Dimas, California, shooting
Peters Target Wad-Cutter .38 Specials, walked off with
e the Ladies’ Match Slow Fire event—20 shots at 25 yards.
On her last string of ten she shot 100 x 100. Score
NCE AGAIN... this time in the January 16th Meet of the Southern 198 x 200.
California Revolver League ... Peters’ higher-accuracy is dem-
onstrated. Some of the best shots in the country competed .. . yet
Peters accounted for three out of five firsts! This spring, try Peters
ammunition. See for yourself what a difference higher-accuracy am-
munition can make in your score!

 MAKE THIS ANOTHER
BANNER SHOOTING YEAR:::
. . . The real measure of our success is to be looked
ee

for in results which have improved the lot of the Amer-

ican shooter and increased his numbers.”’
With this prologue Secretary-Treasurer C. B. Lister,
last month told the N. R. A. Board of Directors
that 1937 was another banner shooting year. A
summary of the year’s progress is published in
this issue.
It is well that our Sport has shown such encouraging
growth. And the continued progress of the National
Rifle Association is a timely challenge to pacifist-
minded reformers and communists who would
weaken our National and home defense by outlaw-
ing all guns. Now—as always—the shooters of
America must present a strong, united front in
order to save the guns of honest citizens and pre-
serve the traditional American Sport of Shooting.
Our 1937 progress record is likewise a challenge to
those of us who want to see the lot of the American
shooter improved and his numbers increased during
1938. To that end, we at National Headquarters
pledge anew our best efforts and ask for the con-
tinued cooperation of the Association’s field sales-
men—the members and member clubs of the N. R. A.

GENTLEMEN:
I believe in the good work the N. R. A. is doing to make life more interesting for shooters and I am glad to have
had a hand in the progress just reported for 1937.
To help maintain our progressive record throughout 1938 I have persuaded another good American to become

Back in the Old Days

By WILLIAM V. LOWE

Note: The author of this article—a professional mechanical engineer, now 78 years of age—is probably unknown to
many of our readers today. However, he lived during one of the most interesting periods of rifle-shooting history, back
in the days of such famous names as Norman Brockway, Horace Warner, H. V. Perry, H. M. Pope, and others, and was
a member of the illustrious team known as “The Warner Riflemen.” Accuracy to the last, nth degree was the order
then, and the superb heavy-barrel muzzle-loading rifles of that day have never been surpassed in close grouping. With
an inborn love for the grooved barrel, and mechanical ability of a high order inherited from a line of mechanical forbears,
Mr. Lowe in time became one of the celebrated rifle-makers of his day. Circumstances later led him into other fields
of effort, but he has always been a rifleman at heart. Recently retired from active work, he is reliving in memory the
old rifle-shooting days, and has promised to write for us a series of articles, drawing upon an ample store of data which
he has preserved through the years. The present article is the first of this series ——Epiror
