Never met him personally but when I got my first .45-110 he told me to give him a call and he could save me some time and money getting it to shoot. He spent several hours talking to me on the phone a few times and invited me out to his house to shoot and have a good time. Sadly I never got to take him up on the offer but I sure learned a lot from him and he did indeed save me time and money. Our sport has lost a true legend in the BPCR world
