kimel Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) Recent threads have had me thinking about a USPSA Hall of Fame. Who would we put in our hall of heroes and why? Here's the deal: Just like the Baseball Hall of Fame they have to be retired from active competition in USPSA shooting to be nominated. Thus, TGO can't get in yet. Nominee #1: Brian Enos. All that he brought to the sport while competing. The Book. The Benosverse. I could go on for paragraphs. Who are your nominees?

This is what I had in mind (subliminally), but never consciously thought about it!!!!!!! Kimel, what a GGGRREEEAAATTTT idea! This way, newer shooters would have a sense of who came before them. Fantastic!!! (please excuse the spelling errors, I am no english major...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Plaxco Mike Dalton Micky Fowler Bill Wilson James Clark, Sr. John Shaw Bill Davis There's others, but due to a senior moment I can't think of their names right now.

BritinUSA Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Would it just be open to shooters or also those that had contributed to the sport ?; If the latter I would nominate Nyle Leatham. His photographs of USPSA and IPSC events have probably introduced more people to practical shooting than all others combined. Nice guy too.

Brazos SC Shooter Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Would it just be open to shooters or also those that had contributed to the sport ?; If the latter I would nominate Nyle Leatham. His photographs of USPSA and IPSC events have probably introduced more people to practical shooting than all others combined. Nice guy too. If we are throwing in photographers, Ichiro Nagata has produced some of the greatest photographs of not only USPSA guns, but live action shots that I have seen.

hopalong Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 When he quits/retires from shooting, Johnny Brister from Mississippi............ The FIRST all gun GRAND MASTER in USPSA! I guess that should qualify him if anything does? Hopalong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMS42 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Add to my list: Ken Hackathorn and +1 on Judy Woolley And where is she now? I used to see her and Charles (?) when I was in Missoula for a match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich, you'd also have to cross out Doug Koenig. He's still actively shooting for Team S&W. The shooter formerly known as Kippi Boykin is Kippi Leatham, Mrs. TGO, and she still shoots too. I'd like to nominate Armando Valdez. Sevigny wasn't the first to kick a$$ with a Glock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) Two more that are not shooting any more, Debbie and Russ James. Debbie was ladies world champion once or twice. Edited April 4, 2007 by Dan Sierpina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
