Randy, thanks for checking your gun. Seems logical that he might have ordered those long barrels so the weight forward would help him keep them swinging...and be more steady with whatever he used to help extend what he had of his arm. I still marvel over his ability to shoot with such accuracy, but then accuracy has always been elusive to me.

When I was a kid, I deer hunted with a gentleman who had lost his hand and part of his forearm. I marveled over his ability to shoot...and gut a deer. I still am fascinated that a such a person could rise to the level of a world record. Inspiring stuff.

And there's Jon Kruger. Jon suffered a devastating injury to his right hand. In response he customized a shooting glove with velcro that allowed him to basically velcro his right hand to the wrist of his Krieghoff and pull the trigger with his middle finger. From there he went on to become one of the worlds greatest sporting clay shooters of all time. I was fortunate to be able to shoot with Jon many times which was humbling to say the least.
