GreenDragon64 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Ended up and went to the NRA convention with a shooting buddy and we found ourselves at the Smith & Wesson booth. Lo and behold we ended up in an extremely small line to meet one of the best all around shooters that is alive today. JM was a very sincere and genuine person, joked with my friend and I for a few minutes and took a picture with each of us. He said I had a familiar face then I told him I have a familiar name to go along with it, one of those gotta be there moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 That's funny, when I saw the thread title the very first person that came to mind was old JM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Jerry was one of my favorite guys to spend time with. I was hanging out with him for a few days at the Clark's place in LA. He knew I was a reptile catching fool... So he took me out an a small boat to check one of his (Alligator Snapping) turtle traps. There was a monster turtle hooked on the trap, and Jerry says... "My back is kinda hurting, could you haul him in the boat for us." I knew his back wasn't hurting, he just wanted me to have all the fun. It was my first and only Alligator Snapper experience.

Hi-Power Jack Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I walked up to JM a few years ago in Las Vegas (Nat'ls), and he was extremely gracious - we talked a couple minutes, and I felt like a 65 year old (then) kid on Christmas morning.

HRider Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 He is a class act. I have seen him at matches many times, talked to him a few times, he is always nice. I have never seen him be rude or even act like he was having a bad day. He is a great ambassador to the shooting sports. Hurley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Ho Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Class act. A true gentleman and probably one of the best representatives of our sport. I've had the pleasure of being squadded right next, squad in front of and behind, him several times. So I had a chance to see him shoot and walk stages with him. Definitely a cool thing for this mediocre shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not only is Jerry a class act, the entire family is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Not only is Jerry a class act, the entire family is. My goal is to take one of Donnie's air boat tours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
