did at Shelby, Michigan, October 24, 1889, using a 44-calibre
Winchester rifle loaded with shot cartridges. On July 4, 1893, I hit
1000 wooden balls with 22-calibre Marlin rifle in 17-1/4 minutes, which
is 9.25 minutes quicker than the feat has ever been accomplished by any
other person.

I have thrown an object into the air and hit it 12 times before it
struck the ground, I using an automatic shot gun.

In concluding this article, I will suggest to those learning to shoot,
that as a workman is known by the kind of tools he uses, it is equally
true of the marksman. In order to do good shooting a good gun must be
used. As a repeating rifle I have never seen the equal of the Marlin,
model '92. When the gun is kept in good repair, used with well loaded
cartridges, it is absolutely sure to repeat, a thing that I cannot say
of any other repeating rifle. Although others are good, I consider the
Marlin the _best_.
