But when the 15 of us walked into the covered shooting line and saw the steel targets ranging before us–the last row at 1,000 yards—it all went silent. Oh, man, I imagined my fellow students thinking, that’s what 1,000 yards actually looks like? Never going to happen!

BY Clay Martin Published: March 31, 2019 { 46 comments }The Retrograde to me says awesome hair, flight suit, and a really bad attitude cause Ronnie Reagan told us to.

When the work was finished and the article and video were published, I asked Walther if I could send them a check instead of returning the gun. That pistol has been my go-to match gun ever since, and it has many thousands of rounds through it.
