So has anyone actually talked to him or watched him shoot? Seems to have come out of nowhere. If he shoots a Parker, why isn't he a member?

I shot part of an unremarkable round of 5 stand with him at Hausmann's. He quit about half way through the round. My recollection was that he had missed a couple of targets at that point. I don't recall what make gun he was shooting but I believe it was a small bore gun. For reference, I think the best scores shot on the 5 stand that week were around 20 (+-).

I shot a LC Smith on that 5 Stand, it was given to me by a LC Smith Ass. member to try, he also handed me 12 shells to shoot it. When I shot the 12 shells I moved off of the stand. Quit? And yes, I recall missing more than a few on that 5 Stand, I believe I missed most of them. But anytime I shoot a Vintage SXS, it is never unremarkable.

I observed him shooting the long bird at the Vintagers event, the far trap distance with a rangefinder was measured over 70 yards.

Mario was shooting a 20 gauge and he shot it more than once, his best round was 9 out of 10, great shooting with a 20 gauge on those long targets.

I do know of a LC friend who shot with Mario on at least 1 event, possibly more, I didn't have a chance to chat with him
