Interesting. My father was a county Sheriff. When I was about 9, he took me to the scene where a murderer met his grisly end after a citizen posse tracked him down and returned fire with hunting rifles. I remember looking down in awe.

I love the old pictures like that one with the old time saddles and tack. Showing the clothing and hats they wore.
Thanks for sharing!!!

From the looks of the tack, I would guess this happened on the border or in Mexico proper.

Since I don't drink I'd have to go prone if I got "looped" before I shot! Actually I'd go prone, then roll over!

Not my first reading of his statement, Askins ***** Greg and Dick.... I have to take this with a shaker of salt. Ole Askins may have been setting up the competition, to encourage blurred vision or over-confidence. Don’t know as I witnessed anything but sobriety in the few Bullseye matches which I watched in my youth. On another front----handgun silhouette----there could be some drinking after a day’s shooting. Those “mill hunkies” from west Pennsylvania, one of whom “borrowed” a Budweiser truck for an IHMSA championship, managed to get this shooter pretty lit one night. Next morning I’m crawling around on my hands and knees. Drank about a reservoir of water. IHMSA Region One director Ron Ricci says, “That’s alright, David....” Another day of ferocious steel banging was about to begin. I ground it out and pulled it off, yet it is not possible to attribute the marksmanship to partying the night before. (Let alone on the same day.) Another match comes to mind, again a championship. The match was sponsored by Jack Daniels, with a night of hard charging at an airport bar. A man hell bent for Top Revolver challenged me to drink. He was generous with the Jack Daniels he poured himself. I would not let him pour mine, which for some reason was feeble on the booze and tall on the water. He had managed to park his RV right behind the firing line.... which, to his great pain, lit up in a cacophony of thunder first thing the next morning. Needless to say, his heraldic expectation of victory did not survive the tournament. Writing his blueprint for tipsy tournament, I reckon Charles Askins grew bleary-eyed from his own laughter, not booze. David Bradshaw

Trained, traveled and shot with old time bullseye shooters. Nobody died. Not saying there weren't opportunities.
