What's the story behind some of yours? Explain myself to a non member and a http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LfHFtY9bmHU/Th5A_Cp1K-I/AAAAAAAAALM/2ovv-8SxPK8/s1600/number-13_15802.jpg Pretty much. No data mining OP. |
I researched the blackpowder sharpshooter and early sniping. Shooting from concealment began centuries ago. The first people I know of to use it regularly were the Ottoman Turks and the grenzers (borderers of the Austo-Hungarian Empire). Almost all sniping enthusiasts know of Hesketh-Prichard, but how about Frederic Crum (8/60)? I even found an image of the man who introduced Crum to sniping. Got over two dozen articles published too. Hathcock's boss, Maj. Edward Land, liked my researched and even called me.

Pic I took at the local zoo a few years ago. I always thought that was a picture of you.
As for mine, not much to explain really. One of my greatest small screen heroes from the Golden Age of Television. I have two autographs from Richard Boone as "Paladin" on display in my gun room, and also the autograph of Johnny Western (who wrote "The Ballad of Paladin") which he gave to me. 
My Colt Defender .45 ACP also pays tribute to Paladin, with custom pewter Chess Knight grip medallions.
