An 870? Wonder if he had diddled the disconnector and could fire just holking the trigger back and cycling the slide? We had some ancient shotguns in the service that could do that.
I don’t know. It was at an annual all comers match for our gun club. He was running the match because he had won it the previous year.
He was not competing but for some reason did the final event. It was supposed to be a trap shoot but the wind was blowing so hard that he had a backup event.
Five 2 liter bottles were set up in a “W” pattern. You were to shoot in that pattern in 5 seconds. It turned out to be easy and almost everyone did it. I and everyone else had to pause after the 3rd shot because of some tendency to go straight from 3 to 5. Probably because that is the way we read.
Still 5 seconds was more than enough. This guy obviously did not have that problem as he shot all 5 in less than a second.
Great Post,
Thanks.
That 8.75 27 didn’t happen to be a -2, wooden presentation box, bought out of Texas, by chance?
I danced with one for a couple of seasons, I look back and wonder what I was thinking trading it off, for what was supposed to be the better love of my life.
Now it’s one of my greatest regrets. Dodd have never let her go......
No, I bought it used from an old guy from Wichita. It was still in new condition. S&W really turned out some beauties.
