And some Hunter Arms trap gun marketing copy: "Great Guns Win great events because of long distance, close shooting and hard hitting qualities." From a magazine ad announcing the Grand American Handicap wins by Smith guns in 1902, 1906, and 1911 "For a number of years we have been working on a single barrel trap gun designed especially for that purpose and one that would be worthy of the L.C. Smith name. It is a box lock, equipped with the famous Smith rotary locking bolt that never shoots loose, and Smith cocking mechanism, the Smith automatic ejector and a quick action hammer..." From the 1917 catalog "The shots that hit are the shots that count" From the 1917-1921 catalog "L.C. Smith Guns Make and Break Records" From the 1928-1938 catalog "The strength, durability and shooting quality of the L. C. Smith gun have been proved by years of hard service in many lands. The great number of our guns in the hands of shooters today is the best guarantee of their worth. They carried off 1930 State Championships in 28 States." From a 1932 Hunter Arms Co. letter "It is the perfect balance of Smith guns that makes them point where you want them to point with the least possible effort on the part of the shooter" From a magazine ad announcing that C. Waggoner had the ATA 16 yard high average using a Smith gun in 1934
