Scully Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Brilliant. Takes me back. He was on the go and sponsored by Smith & Wesson when I used to shoot handguns, and back then he already held the record for 6 shots into a playing card sized group in some ridiculous time with a S&W tuned M686. We used to have great fun shooting at bowling pins, falling plates and fruit at 25 metres ; nothing anywhere near his skill level, but great fun all the same. I used either my S&W M29 .44 Magnum, or my tuned M1911 Colt 45 ACP. Them were the days; sadly all gone now. Good to see he's still on the go.

Blunderbuss Posted October 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Me too Scully PP1 and 2, 1500, Skittles and plates. I mainly used a tuned 686 with 148gr wadcutters for PP, but beefier loads for skittles. I did a little practical with a CZ75 and also had a Webley Mk VI in .455. Used to cast my own bullets and reload on a Dillon progressive press that used to load hundreds in an hour. Pistol Anno Dommini at Bisley every year. Happy days.

DazzJo Posted October 17, 2014 Report Share Posted October 17, 2014 Let's put it this way I don't think he learnt to shoot like that from shooting crows with a .410! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy days. i believe his daughter is shooting in the Bianchi Cup (Worlds) in Florida at the moment. Apparently she is almost as good as her Dad. I never got to Bisley and 'practical' was somewhat limited on our army range, but when we got our own in a disused quarry we had a whale of a time. Strangely enough I was introduced to clay shooting at one of our 'open' range days when a local clay club came and had a go at pistol shooting, and we in turn had a go at clays. The CZ as you'll know, came into its own as a thoroughbred race or competition gun once 9mm made major, but I never got to have a go with one. I doubt I ever will now. The Dillon was known as the rolls royce of progressives back then; I upgraded to a Lee progressive from a single stage RCBS when I started shooting comp's....single stage FAR too slow.

Scully Posted October 19, 2014 Report Share Posted October 19, 2014 This is his daughter Obviously showing signs of a mis-spent youth. The UK media would no doubt put that down to bad parenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guerini Guy Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 (edited) Fortunate enough to still be shooting Practical Pistol, although sadly now have to travel overseas to do so. Guns are being held by a gun dealer friend in Czech Republic, and each year we go there for some practice, and shoot the Czech National Championships and the Polish National Championships, plus any others that we can afford. I also have a VZ58, which is a Czech version of the 7.62mm AK47, which I use for Practical Rifle I currently have two handguns : - CZ75 Tactical Sport - .40cal and my pride and joy - Sig Sauer STX Custom Shop 1911 Frame .45cal And the wife also shoots with her Glock 34 - 9mm Happy days Edited October 22, 2014 by Guerini Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
