tightloop Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I shot that match and I think you are right, although I did not stay in the same motel as Burner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Good thing he got better, otherwise his nickname might be "The Limper" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Well, Pat, if you remember the early part of his career, he has half of the name correct. He did Crash and Burn a lot in the early days, or am I the only one who remembers that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I read a comment on his early days once, and it seems like back then he might have been called "The Puker"..... no disrespect intended, of course..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 BrianH is correct, but, didn't you already win once this year? If so, you're supposed to let others win. If not, then congratulations on being probably the quickest winning post ever! And yes, the Burner was prone to crashing now and then earlier in his career. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Does that mean I won the book, as I was second, and he already won a copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianH Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 And I think last time I responded to my own question, so I think I'll stop altogether (your welcome). Give a book to tightloop, 'cause he got fudged over; If you want to double up this month I got a good one I could send you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Brian Thanks for the support, I would really appreciate, and need the info which is in the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 OK, I guess tightloop is the winner. Although I don't know if - "I think that's right" qualifies as an answer. But, since you seem to really want it, send me your shipping info and I'll send it out. be Maybe we'll ask another question, just for fun. And BrianH, if you answer again, I'll change your password! be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 7, 2002 Author Share Posted August 7, 2002 OK, here's one from BrianH that I'm not sure if anyone can get. Well, maybe two could. Who said "....It has it's advantages, but I don't think it will ever gain the popularity of the .45." (the question was in regards to the use of the .38 Super in competition) -Who said it -When was it said -Who was it said to ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Anderson Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 I thought TGO was a major proponent of the 38 super... Was this before he "saw the light" ...er... heard the boom? SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38supPat Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Quote: from Flexmoney on 11:27 pm on Aug. 6, 2002 1993 Lol....even the .38 seemed Passe in '93...Robbie shot 9x25 in '93, alot of others were shooting 9x21 and super was the 'old' standby. Most open shooters at the time robably hadn't heard of the ancient .45 Maybe you mean '83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted August 8, 2002 Author Share Posted August 8, 2002 Incorrect. This one's massively tough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 His equipment for the '83 Championship was a Wilson Accu-comp Colt 45 carried in a hip holster, vertically angled. Rob has since changed to .38 super, still by Wilson. It must be after 83. Maybe 87? When Jerry won the nationals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted August 9, 2002 Author Share Posted August 9, 2002 Even if you get the year, who The Great One uttered this comment to is the hard part, because few would have known him. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
