[QUOTE="Ricky C, post: 2661740, member: 109105"] Hey, Bob Milek, Elgin Gates, and JD Jones were the the guys that got me all fired up about contenders. Gates was a big driving force behind metallic handgun silhouette shooting. I have the second edition of the Gun Digest Book of Metallic Silhouette Shooting by Gates, it’s a pretty interesting read. Metallic silhouette is another thing that has died out. I did some small bore rifle silhouette while I was stationed in AZ, it was a lot of fun. Only did one small bore pistol silhouette match, shot it with my 6 inch colt diamond back. It was the only pistol I had with me at the time! I was TDY going through a school in CO. I shot a 7 out of 40. I think I came in second place in the open sight production pistol, pretty funny when I think about it. There were probably only two in that class shooting, it was back in 1991 I think. Enough rambling. I think one or two of my contender cartridges need some reloading done Take Care [/QUOTE]
