Doc ...goldangit....Elmer was a personal friend of mine and I saw him do many
of the things he wrote and spoke of. He introduced me to long range pistol
shooting back in 1970 in Salmon Idaho and I have been doing it ever since.
Now may I join the ranks of "old fools" and tell you that I regularly shoot
on a steel gong with pretty consistent hits (14" steel plate) with hard ball
ammo out of a Colt 1911A1. I will also add, I won my distinguished pistol
shot badge in national competition, and am also a member of the Presidents
100 (Pistol). To address Franks question, I agree with the T/C as a good
choice and scoped. As for caliber, I think it should be in one of the larger
calibers such as .30 or larger for 200 or longer. If its going to be on game,
the range should be restricted to less than 100 yards. I say that based on
more than 25 years as a professional hunting guide in the Rockies. Cheers -
