49 Birds tvithout missing One of the best and most consistent shots in the Dominion is Mr. E. Groome, Otane, Hawke’s Bay, an enthusiastic user of C.A.C. In 1929 he tied with Mr. B. Clinch, who also shot with C.A.C., in the New Zealand Live Bird Championship. In the shoot-off he secured 49 birds without missing, the championship going to Mr. Clinch by a margin of one bird. Another phenomenal record by Mr. Groome occurred in 1927 when he annexed the North Island Clay Bird Championship. In shooting off with the veteran. Mr. D. Fraser, still another C.A.C. Shootist, he got a break and won with 55 consecutive hits. Mr. Fraser has twice been New Zealand Champion. Mr. Groome says: “C.A.C. is preferable to any other ammunition l have used. The loading is right for all kinds of trap and field shooting. It’s a sound solid cartridge to which l attribute my success in shooting. The proof lies in what it has won.” A Little Further a little faster" Black Smokelrv d Rifle*- Send lor literature. Colonial A«* Ltd— Auckland. New Zealand. C2O-12-30
