I find reference to a C. E. Dewitt, Morrow, Ohio in the book Hits and Misses of the Trapshooting and Skeet World. Cheaperthandirt has it in their library but I cant seem to get it to load... http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/Library/BookPage.aspx?bid=FW0005271&sid=880&pid=40

It took a long time to load, but, C.E Dewitt,Morrow, Ohio ,is mentioned as one of the three shooters who shot 95 at the 1914 Grand American.

Correction, in the book is "C.E Demitt, Morrow, Ohio" with a M not a W.

here he is shooting 95 again...

It appears Mr. Boa wasn't too badly done to by the Great Depression, getting a $433 shotgun in September 1931!!

I can't get it to load either. Do any of our posters know any more about that book?

Ithaca had to have loved the guy! I have a 1930 7E Knick that was handled thru Boa. The Depression happened fast and by 1930 most everyone was on vacuum.
