An awesome shooter. RIP.
Oh wow. He was always such a joy to watch. Talk about having absolute fun at life. Sad news.
I remember a sharp shooter came to my hometown around 1958 or so. I have no idea who he represented but I think it might have been a car company. I am pretty sure it wasn’t a gun or ammunition maker.
Don’t recall who he was either but he sure could shoot. For some reason they also showed a short film of the Indianapolis 500. I guess entertainment was not what it is as I can’t imagine someone going to see a short film of Indy racing.
I have met him and have been to many of his events. Most don’t know it, but he’s as good with a rifle. I understand he was just 62.
Very big RIP.
I hope you are doing well, my FRiend.
(you want to sell that jeep to me yet?)
Doing ok, finally have blacksmith shop set back up
and starting to do some work. Jeep gets willed to
my nephew when he turns 25. I’m up near Amicalola
falls.
Hope you are well.

I bought me a wire feed welder, and I am trying to teach myself how to use it.
I need to find you again for some lessons!!!
It seems to be more of an “art” than a “skill”.
My welds are ugly.
Wow. Just four months after Bob Munden died too.
Damn! RIP, Tom.
RIP.
He was great to watch and always put on an amazing show. Lots of YT vids I hadn’t seen before. RIP, Tom.

He was a fine man and great promoter of skilled shotgun shooting. I’ve seen his demonstrations live several times and he could keep the crowd entertained, amazed and told fun stories. I shook his hand and chatted with him at the Shot Shows and NRA conventions. I know he is up in Heaven and has a new sponsor providing him with unlimited shotshells.
