Look at some of the names on that list that are pioneers in the shooting sports:

Bill Wilson
Ed Brown
Tom Givens
Ken Hackathorne
Richard Heinie

AWESOME!

For the 30th Anniversary, everyone should have worn nutters in honor of Raul Walters.
 
I wonder if #37 David "Rocky" Eales is the same Rocky Eales, of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol? Trooper Eales was killed in the line of duty 1999 while serving a search warrant as a part of OHP's tactical unit.

Don't forget Bill Rogers and Jim Cirillo

It's amazing how mall ninja SoF magazine was back then.
 
Wow, this is very interesting! I wonder why Raul Walters was ineligible to win (1st place) prizes on his pistol & rifle wins? Does anyone know what "jump" is referring to on the form to fill out? And this may be a very silly question & proves how much I have to learn; is par time scoring still used?

Thanks for posting this, C Westerman.
 
I bumped these threads this morning after reading Uncle Kurts post in the appreciation thread.
It got me thinking that all the new members should see these & also hopefully it'd inspire C Westerman to continue.
