    U.S. Marines pistol training circa 1962

    The Captain has long passed away, but his pistol shooting tips are timeless: https://digital.tcl.sc.edu/digital/c...eCorps/id/284/

    Lt. Col, actually. A great man who was denied his 7th Olympic Games appearance due to Jimmy Carter’s boycott. One could have expected an 8th appearance in 1984 were it not for his severe injuries suffered in a training accident when he was hit by two .357 magnum rounds fired by a trainee deputy in San Diego.

    Thanks for sharing the great video.

    Meh..... just another "sponsored shooter. Let me know when you find his red dot pistol films.

    For real though, that was well worth watching.
    Keeps pounding home the fact that mastering the the basics is what it really takes to advance.

    Thanks for posting that.
