Thanks Vikram,
I am sorry to say, that I had never heard of the great man before! Thanks to you, I got to witness some amazing shooting. He must be either in his ealry seventies or very late sixties. Either way, I am inspired.
Best Regards

He death is premature as he was only in his early to mid-sixties. He still was launching ten clays into the air repeatedly with his hand. Apart from being a great shooter, he was also known to be very nice in person.
