Harry Wright was also a little known exhibition shooter. He was wealthy from the liquor business, so didn't do trick shooting for a living. However, he had all the trappings of a trick shooter. I have a bag of Winchester-Western gold colored target coins that were used by trick shooters to shoot with rifles when thrown up in the air. I bought those target coins from Harry's daughter. She also sold me some nice Winchester target grade shotgun stocks. I also bought the best condition fifties Browning A-5 I have ever seen from the family. In his later years, his granddaughters (I assume that's who they were) would drive him to visit the club during his namesake skeet shoot in a white Rolls Royce Corniche convertible with the top down.
