Hello, I'm Doc Burgess founder of the National Shooters League. My email address is tip.cardinal@mail.com
I found some comments on this website about my match that is dated 2015. My match was held for five years from 1975 through 1979.
All the Gun magazines of the day wrote articles about my match. The first article was by Bill Jordan, in GUNS magazine. Massad Ayoob, Mickey Fowler, Jim Clark, Colonel Charles Askins, and many others wrote about it. Mason Williams and Major George Nonte included chapters in their books about it.
I had shooters from 32 states and they were the best shooters in the world. Included were National champions from all the shooting disciplines: Camp Perry champions, PPC champions, the Womens 6 times National Pistol Champion, Ida Mae Younger; the Secret Service, the FBI, Texas Rangers, Reeves Junkind training officer; IPSC champions and military champions who had won matches all over the world. Many of the civilians, High Way Patrol, Sheriffs, U.S. Marshalls, and others had won International matches while in the military. The Marine Corps sent their best, one year, an active duty Master Sergeant. Mel Makin was a three times Gold Medal winner of the Pan American games and in the Army Reserves. Frank Green was the Olympic pistol coach and himself a Silver medal winner in the Olympic games. He had been the Captain of the Air Force Pistol team. The LAPD always sent their team to the match. Ad Clark was a Navy pilot and one of the best shooters I ever saw. He won my match two different years shooting the Model 29 .44 mag with full go loads.
