After reading it myself, I agree with you. (reply)

I think it was the S&W Masters, wasn't it? (reply)

I'm not sure, it was before my time over in IL. I do know that PASA Park down in Barry, IL was a really nice range. It partially accounted for me taking five years to finish a four year technical school!

yep, he's one of those... (reply)

Same "conservative " Pro-Gun" Radio hosts and pols here in AZ fought bitterly against Our AZ Constitutional carry law.

I quit reading ST at that point because (reply)

they were aware of the situation, and refused to do anything about it. They even had an editorial on the issue IIRC.

HE made plenty of money on it... (reply)

...the matches were held at a range run by a corporation he set up with himself as the head, on land that this corporation leased from him. Sponsors and competitors got ripped off, but he got paid plenty. If memory serves, that is...I do remember it well because the young naive Boge was quite disillusioned by it all.

Here is a pdf of the editorial (reply)

Looks to me that he did what he is being charged with.

He made all sorts of claims about prizes and prize money, then somehow couldn't deliver? I remember some really serious cries for his head from the competition community.

He's a CROOK, too! (Nm) (reply)

Slow Hand — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:41:57 +0000

Oh, c'mon, just because all that prize money from Jeep disappeared from the uspsa championship shoot on his family farm? How can you blame him???

The same company owns ST and G&A.

A MUCH better choice:) now I read Jim on FB and the only subscription I get is Handloader which I need to renew...though I don't really gain much from even it these days. Seems all anybody does is just recycle old topics over and over.

Do you subscribe to GUNS & AMMO????? (reply)

Slow Hand — Mon, 04 Nov 2013 10:19:28 +0000

I've met him several times when I lived in IL. He didn't impress me much then as a 20 year old kid. 17 years later I've still got a whole lot of 'meh' for him...

Haven't since Elmer died. Looked at it once on the newsstand and it just was not the same. Never did warm up to Metcalf's writings.

Dropped them many years ago, not worth the paper or my time or money.

Exactly right... (reply)

Most of us have forgotten more technical gun stuff than he will ever know.

Nah...this is nothing new. Seems he started this... (reply)

Back during the Klinton admin IIRC. He received a lot of flack for some "reasonable gun control" statements and rightly so.

not a huge fan of DM's writing, but, it would be good to read the source before jumping on the bandwagon...
