I remember when I used to beat him occasionally. You notice I don't shoot against him anymore....

John and his guns receive a lot of attention at the shoots. In the beginning they looked with doubt and skepticism in their eyes. Now those same shooters eyes show respect and fear. I swear he is the reincarnation of Fred Kimble.

Kimble shot obsolete muzzleloading guns against competitors shooting ten gauge breechloaders. Of course, his muzzleloaders were really big. The rules called for a maximum shot load, so the size of his Tonks gun was not really an advantage, just a statement.

I suppose we both preferred shooting outdated guns.
