1901 Sportsmen's Exposition with trap shooting on the roof of Madison Square Garden, but within the enclosure



R.O. Heikes (Remington Hammerless), Ed Banks (Winchester Repeater), W.R. Crosby (Smith), Jack Fanning (Smith), possibly B. LeRoy (Remington)

The sign above the shooters announces Annie Oakley's appearance

Any idea what year this photo was taken? That looks like a Remington model 32 to me.

Well it has to be after 1937. Text under photo dates 1873-1937. Or it could be 1957 but looks more like 1937. Is this a tribute to him or some type of ad?

I couldn't make that out, so the time frame is right for the model 32. Perhaps at better resolution it is easier to see the gun as well.
