Early IPSC'er ~ Thank you, thank you, thank you! for the wonderful pictures of the early days, and the awesome information. Now I can picture how that happened. Just a minor mystery that made me go a little crosseyed trying to imagine how the match was set up to allow something like that. And yes, I'm sure Farnam would have loved it; the reference in the Tactical Edge read (to my jaundiced eye) as if it were a third-hand account, with embellishments to make a better story. Learning that Farnam was running that range pretty much sealed it. Kathy

Thanks, Brian. pax

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forums here & hope I'm not stepping on any toes by speaking right up with a question, but this appears to be the most-likely place on the web to hunt down the answer to a minor, but intriguing, mystery. This afternoon, I was reading The Tactical Edge, a law enforcement book from two decades ago. In it, I came across the following paragraph: This little snippet jolted something in my memory, and I had to search awhile before I found the reference I vaguely remembered. It's from Paul Kirchner's book, Jim Cirillo's Tales of the Stakeout Squad. So the question I have for you old-time competitors: did this incident really happen as described? I'm having a hard time picturing a match set up with a gully that would be tempting for a competitor to use -- even an independent soul like Jim Cirillo! -- and am just intrigued by the whole thing. Can someone here help me visualize how that could happen? pax, Kathy
