Winner of the GREAT WESTERN
HANDICAP
TX7HEN the last bird of the Great Western
Handicap had spun from its trap, when
the last shot had boomed out on the Colorado
air, it was found that George Lewis, of Perry,
Oklahoma, had won the event from the 23-
yard line with a score of 98 x 100, made with
Climax shells.
And the main event was not the only event
carried away by a Climaxian. Not by a long
shot! During the four days of shooting in
this greatest of western tournaments the old
reliable Climax stood the test like the veteran
it is.
Frank McGanney, high professional in
the Great Western Doubles Championship,
shot Climax shells as did George Jewett,
who was high professional in the 16-yard
singles (198 x 200) and also on all targets
(958 x 1000).
Of the long runs registered with Climax
shells during the tourna
ment, those of E. C. Griffin,
Seattle, Wash., and Jewett
& are especially notable. GrifEn ran 259. Jewett
shattered 156 straight,
missed one bird and then
broke 165 more.

Try the Climax yourself.
