Encouraging news from the UK

Post by fantumfan2003 » Tue Feb 28, 2012 9:30 pm

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

> Yes, I too simply loved the text "High-lighted in Yellow" :D
> Suggestion - Since we as a country are still reeling under the 'hangover' of the erstwhile Brits - Why not adopt & adapt what is "High-lighted in Yellow" & be done with it??? :)
> What is good for the Goose - Could be good for the Gander :lol:

Thanks for sharing fantumfan2003!

YELL-OW AIRGUNS - here we come!

Reminds me of the song from Coldplay (slightly modified to suit the occasion...tongue in cheek) :lol:

Look at the lead pellets
Look how they shine for you
And everything you do
Yeah they were all yellow

I came along
I wrote a shooting song for you
And all the things you aim at
And it was called yellow

So then I took my turn
Oh what a thing to have done
I missed the target - completely
And it was all yellow

My apologies for the colorful response - just feeling exuberant is all! :cheers:
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns!

Nice song.

I can probably sympathize with you folks living with the 500fps rule in CA. Pretty sure you envy the folks across the pond...........south and east of you.......
