Taking his moniker from the 1970\u2019s comic TV series\u00a0Evil Roy Slade,\u00a0<\/em>starring actor John Astin as the infamous \u201cmeanest villain the West has known,\u201d Gene went on to compete and take home multiple awards. He continues to express his love of the sport and share his knowledge and skills through training aspiring cowboy action shooters across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
