Dranoel Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I remember back in the early 90's reading in one of the gun mags that one of the Pro shooters was at a major match and recounting a story of practicing and looking down to see a rattlesnake between his feet. He claimed he jumped straight up and fired three shots at the snake before his feet hit the ground. That sparked a challenge and several of the top shooters tried it. Anyone with a better memory than me recall who the original Snake drill shooter was and the full story behind it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At major match wouldn't his gun be unloaded without permission from the RO? (Which means he jumped up and loaded the gun before firing the 3 shots?) I wouldn't want to fire three shots directly into the ground directly under me (where did the bullets ricochet?) Doesn't sound too likely to me ??? (I may be wrong).

Dranoel Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Sorry, I worded that wrong. The shooter was telling the tale at the match but the snake incident happened elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I still wouldn't want to fire directly into the ground under me ... Sounds a little far fetched to me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amerflyer48 Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Pat Macnamara saved Louis Awerbucks life from a snake once the story is a YouTube video,..maybe thats what your thinking of ? Warning NSFW but if you are familiar with Pat M you wouldn't need the warning.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dranoel Posted March 26, 2017 Author Share Posted March 26, 2017 No. This was in an article in American Hangunner or Guns and Ammo. They were the only gun magazines I read in the early 90s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
