That was a hilarious juxtaposition, the older guys shooting down the golf balls of the younger golfing generation, all in full camo.
They have to be great shots. I’ve only skeet shooted, and there is no way in hell I’d ever hit a golf ball. I probably wouldn’t even be able to see it anymore now.
Tom Frye[edit]
In 1959, champion Tom Frye of Remington Arms Company broke Ad Topperwein’s aerial shooting record for shooting 2¼ inch cubes of wood thrown in to the air. He managed to hit 100,004 of the 100,010 wooden blocks - using several Remington Nylon 66 semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle rifles - over a period of 14 straight days. However although the same size of target was used, the comparison to Topperwein’s record is disputed because of the test conditions. Firstly the shooting was undertaken in distances less than the regulation 30 ft (9.1 m). Secondly Frye’s thrower tossed the target blocks over his shoulder along the line of sight of the gun. In contrast Topperwein’s thrower stood beyond the regulation distance tossing the blocks vertically into the air.[5] In 1963, he had a run of 800 straight clay singles in trap shooting.[6][7]
