My hero





































Elmer Keith - Cowboy, Guide, Big game hunter, Expert marksman, Designer of the 357, 41 and 44 magnums, and Godfather of modern reloading.
I cannot say enough about what this man contributed to the world of shooting and firearms. If you want to read his story in his words, find a copy of "Hell, I Was There" and Sixguns".
If there was one man that I could fashion my life after it would be Mr. Keith with Col. Jeff Cooper (USMC Ret.) running a very close second.
Both are deceased now but their legends will live on.

    Another to the list has to be Walter R. Walsh, still kickin' at 103.

    Cooper was really quite a guy. I've got most of his books, and they're excellent reading.
