Well guys, sorry to ruffle anyones feathers,,,I guess what really bothered me about the whole thing is this pedestal that I use to hold all these professionals on,, kinda crumbled.. However, the reverse is also true,, I have met many big time professionals who are the biggest,, nicest, gentlemen in the world..They, as John Pride said once, are the true jewels in your life. I spent a number of years out in Missouri, and made the top ten,, top twenty,, with some locals,,, It was a blast. What I said was true,, as I witnessed it,, but everybody uses bad judgement once in awhile, including me,,maybe that was one of those times

My most memorable experience with John Shaw was at my first Bianchi Cup. I was in awe of all my heroes. It didn't take long to lose that image. I remember Tom Cambell from S&W was shooting the plates in the match,,, not practice.... He was smart enough to use the prone position whenver he could, including the 15 yd position. Rob Leatham and John Shaw did nothing but bust his balls throughout the stage. If it were me, I wouldve called the Ref and protested foul. They were both yelling at him to "stand up and shoot like a man" and trowing empty brass at him... All the things you never read about in the American Handgunner...i also found out that the rules are different if you are on the super squad, then if you are a nobody... Well, eventually, I remeber hearing that Ray Chapman had enough of John's crap, and threw him out, and told him never to come back.... What ever happen to John Shaw????....... Who cares!!!!
