Shooter Grrl Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 I didn't actually WIN though, Pat did. It's a matter of PRIDE (ego) now ;-0 And I find myself giving away my copies of your book, I should learn to just keep my mouth shut, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I am all for SG getting a/another book...if she earns it. None of this weak-a**ed guessing stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted March 1, 2002 Author Share Posted March 1, 2002 Wow! Shooter grrl comes in just under the wire - she finally gets it! Nice guess work. Jerry Barrnhart, 1988, underpowered ammo was the answer I was looking for. I'm sure there were more (answers), but since I'm in charge... well, you know the rest. And, (Flex), even though it was a guess, I'm only excited because I didn't think anyone was going to get it. And on the last day even. Also, I had no clue today was March! I forgot about the February thing. I'd better get to work on a new question. Shooter grrl, send me your address in an message or email and I'll ship er out. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted March 1, 2002 Share Posted March 1, 2002 I am sure SG will put it to good use. So...how 'bout the whole story of the Burner getting bumped? Or have all the bases been covered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Okay, the first rule for this month's question is - DO NOT CALL OR EMAIL BILL WILSON, WILSON COMBAT, OR ANYONE RELATED TO ANYONE WHO WORKS FOR, KNOWS, OR HAS EVER KNOWN BILL WILSON. Ya folla? Now that we got that clear, the (three-part) question: -What was Bill Wilson's trade before he became a gunsmith? (Easy) -Where was he trained to do it? (His original trade.) (The stumper) -What major shooting tournament did he win, twice? (Easy) As usual, the first to post all three correct answers in one post wins a book. (Or whatever else you can try to wrangle me out of.) good luck! be Oh, I almost forgot - thanks to BrianH for tirelessly providing questions... even if he's a tad off now and then.

benos Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 Wow, I feel like I've been set up. This month is over before it started as jmaass nailed it, with authority. Send me your info in an email and I'll ship you out a book. My gut told me this might have been too easy... but i thought the "where was he trained" might stump folks for a few days at least. I'll see if I can come up with another question... just for fun. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaass Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 I recalled reading about Wilson's training, but couldn't call up the details, and diligent web searching didn't turn up the answer. I almost guessed an obscure European country with chocolate and cuckoo clocks. I searched through my collection of old (mid-80s) American Handgunners, and my photocopied gunsmith articles from my "1993 Gunsmith Hunt" notebook, but balked at digging the plastic bin of old Front Sights out (always consumes a full day when I open that box). I finally found the 2nd part of the answer on page 10 of Wilson's book "The Combat Auto"! I have a well-worn copy of The Book in my bookcase, but I will find a worthy Junior shooter at our Circleville USPSA/IPSC matches this year to become the owner of The Prize.

benos Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 Ouch, you guys are harsh. Especially considering the amount of work jmaass so willingly shared on how he figured it out. He certainly deserves it! He also sent me a ladies world team pic, in which it would be extremely difficult to identify the ladies. I might post it... just for fun. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaass Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Brian: I think you should post the photo. If nothing else, they're fun to look at! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Based upon recomendations from a highly placed source the committee has reconsidered its decision and would like to recomend that BrianH be retained ad infinitum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted February 7, 2003 Author Share Posted February 7, 2003 Okay, here it is: Name the 5 girls from the UKPSA shooting team, (we won't say what year for now) - left to right back row, and left to right front row.

gm iprod Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 Not to many answers here. I bet they are not doing much of shooting at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmaass Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 At the time that the UK made their sport difficult for them, I considered offering to allow all of them to come stay here in Ohio with me, but several of them had (and likely have) boyfriends or husbands who shoot better than me, and were already likely in a grumpy mood... Discretion is the better.... Someone has to know at least one or two of their first names! (I can be bribed!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmaass Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 My prize (book) arrived today: Thanks Brian! As I said, I've put it in my match administration box, and will give it to a promising junior shooter this year at our USPSA/IPSC matches in Circleville Ohio.
