I used to respect them "Indiana" guys until they "dumped" Bobby Knight! :mrgreen: There was an exhibition shooter, who's name escapes my memory, (Ad Topperwein maybe?) who claimed to have shot over a million rounds out of a Nylon 66! He shot small blocks of wood and glass balls. I would imagine he might have rebarreled that 66 a time or two!......................Dick :wink:
NO !!! The shooter with the NYLON 66 records on 2 1/4" square wood blocks would have been Tom Frye of Findley OH, a professional shooter for the REMINGTON-PETERS company in the 1950's and '60'S. HE shot at 100,000 hand thrown blocks and missed nine breaking all of Ad toepperwine's records at same.
THis is MANY decades after Adolf Toepperwine set records in exhibition shooting.
What I want to know is, did he save the 9 blocks he missed? :lol:
I wrote a poem about all the great information I have found on the 'net these past 10-12 years
I heard it on the Internet
I know it must be true
There's Banners there
And fancy font
And wise men not a few
I clicked on sites all round about
And hailed the people with a shout
I've found the source of knowledge fount
They've got the smarts in great amount
Now what is this? I say to you
I'll hold my breath 'til I turn blue
You mean I cannot whole believe
What every click doth soon retrieve?
It mustn't be! It isn't true!
Now where does that leave me and you
The whole thing starts to really stinkin'
If I must do my ownest thinkin'!
We have a saying in the break room - the first liar never has a chance!
No finger pointed at anyone in particular- just sayin' you can't catch a fish without someone catching a bigger one!
