I am not expert enough on the exhibition shooters to say for sure. There are several other members here who may know. To my knowledge, I have not seen one with the rounded feathers.

Thanks Scott.

I have found a few items from the net that show the Cox' art, and they do all point to the rounded ends of the feathers.

Just looking for someone with some confirmation of this.

This is the one I have. It was done by Tom Frye in 1978

There is one like the lower picture at the Chief Paduke Gun club in Paducah , Ky. but I'm not sure who did it.

There's one in a local club that I shoot at. Next time I'm there I'll see what I can find out about it. It is done on a sheet of copper.

The top photo looks like the one at the Edwardsville gun club. It’s the oldest continuously operating club in the country. I wonder if it’s the one in the picture.

Barry Roach might recognize it.

That looks exactly like my shotgun pattern at 40 yards with my favorite choke and shell, proving once again that it’s both the arrow AND the Indian.

I don't know if Wilber Cox made your Indian head or one of the other Remington pro's.
I have a vintage video of Bill Atkins shooting the outline drawn on cardboard and the metal was behind the paper.
Using his 22 without a rest he perfectly shot the head & feathers and finished by shooting several shots through the same hole to make the piercing eye.
Wilber was pitching small objects into the air shooting them with his rifle.

Thanks guys !

Any pictures or information is always welcomed.

This one I found at Auction came from the Wyoming area, but unfortunately it was not signed.

I found Beagle's, Fry's, Atkins and Cox to name a few, and two separate pictures of the Cox artwork show the feathers with the rounded ends like mine.

The top picture I posted is the closest to the one I have. My wife and I both thought it was the one in the picture until we got it at our house and SHE began counting holes. LOL

The Topperewien Chiefs seem to have brought the most money at auctions, but all the others have been going for a good penny if they are signed.

We have become addicted to the history of shotgun shooting, and love to see and hear anything you folks have to offer in pictures, stories, etc.

Thanks again !

Really cool! I didn't know bullet art existed.

The VCR tape featuring the Remington Pros is still good.
I'm going to figure out a way to transfer it to digital form .
I will post it as soon as possible.

The Indian heads were made without an outline to follow.

Just be aware of copyright laws! I tried that once and no dice!

A defunct company/corporation copyright is expired I would think.

Only a lawyer can tell!

Can you find out?

No legal training...not going there; sorry.

Unfortunately probably part of the intellectual property acquired by one of the bidders.

One of the three on the walls of the EGC was done by Ad Topperwein. He and his wife, Plinkie were a husband and wife trick shooting team.
I’ll have to find out the other for you all later.
