Kevin gave us an entertaining post about some of his experiences in an earlier time. The "Ralph Luttrell" he mentions was my boss in the late sixties when I was in my early twenties and the general manager of the National Capitol Skeet and Trap club and Mr. Luttrell was the president of the club and responsible for hiring me. My recollection is similar to Kevin's experience with Mr. Luttrell, who once gave me a Model 97 trap gun and a box of shells and sent me to the field for a test round. The gun was defective, would not lock in place to fire and was a potential death trap. I returned the gun to him with the comment that the gun "needed some work".
