Blame it on Fred Gilbert. He used a L.C. Smith to win the DuPont Worlds Pigeon Shooting Championship in 1895 and the "E. C." Inanimate Target Championship Cup in 1896. Orders for the "Fred Gilbert Specifications" then flooded Hunter Arms: drop at comb of 1 3/8 inches; at the heel, 2 inches; length from trigger to heel, 14 1/4 inches; trigger to toe 14 1/2 inches; and trigger to center of butt 14 inches; with a "full pistol grip" and 30-inch full choke barrels.
