Indians For Guns

Announcement link.

He was, arguably, the greatest expert on shooting the 1911A1 pistol. Also, a Professor of History, a war hero and a superb writer who founded the Gunsite Academy which has trained shooters in various disciplines for decades. In recent years many bought Guns and Ammo only to read his articles in it, as the magazine had fallen considerably in standard from it's heyday in the 1960s and 70s.

Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family and friends.

Mack The Knife

Sad news indeed - I`m one of those who used to read his Guns and Ammo articles in the `60s. Always interesting and often controversial.....more so in recent years perhaps. He`ll be missed.

He led a full and interesting life doing what he liked.And he passed away peacefully at a ripe full age.RIP Col.Cooper.

Col. Cooper the founder of gunsite academy and the first proponent of the scout rifle, in cal 308. A hero for every 1 who ever raved about the 1911 a1 or pistol shooting in general.
Another great man passes to the happy hunting grounds.
