And BTW two of the biggest guns, Rolla Hiekes and J.A.R. Elliott used Winchester 1893 and 1897 Repeaters.
Hiekes was so good he shot in 1895 a Lefever, then a Smith, then a Winchester 1893 Repeater, then a 1897 Repeater (winning the first Grand American at Clay Targets in New York City June 1900), then a Remington pump, then his Smith again taking 3rd place in the 1902 GAH at Live Birds. In 1905 he began shooting a Remington Autoloading Shotgun and was High Professional at the 1906 and 1908 Ohio State Shoots.
Neaf Apgar left his Smith for an Ithaca SBT.
