Welcome shot IPSC years ago with a stock 1911 and a Chapman Hi Ride holster.  Gave that up a few years bacl when some fella brought his new ray gun that cost him a total of about $4K could not believe it.  Shot IDPA for a year was even a safety officer but they want $) a year and the club will not let you shoot unless your a IDPA member.  I have a 100 acres here in Indiana and now I shoot turkey, deer, squirrel and varmits.  I strated reading Elmer and Skeeters stuff many years ago and have books people would pay big bucks for.  Sixguns, Hell I Was There, GUNNOTES and Good Frends, Good Guns and Good Whiskey.  I have a magazine from 1980 that Skeeter had stories and handloading info in.
