Many thanks go to Lt. Colonel G.W. Strong for putting on this fine event. Everyone had an opportunity to shoot a Gatling Gun on the first stage. The Grand Muster also featured the Gatling Gun. Where else could you shoot a Gatling Gun?

That was cool!

Was one handed shooting required Johnny McCrae?   All I saw was one handed pistol shooting-impressive!

I didn't see any of those new fangled self-cocking double action pistols. Was anybody there shooting them?



Johnny McCrae

As I remember we were all required to shoot one handed. G.W. Strong can verify this. He wrote the stages and they were excellent.

That's great Johnny. Like I said, that was some impressive one handed shooting!

It looks like it was a wonderful time. You all looked great

G.W. Strong

It is an Illinois tradition that shooting 1 handed is strongly encouraged. If you cant do it safely then by all means use 2 hands.
