Never sat down and put it to words before.A Skeeter Shelton article got me my .45 long colt,Bob MIleK wrote articles that inspired me,as did Elmer Keith .Elgin Gates got me interested in silhouette shooting .They were all influences,but I guess pure desire on my part, to see if I could get close enough and hold it together long enough to kill animals cleanly.It dosent matter if its a squirrel deer groundhog or coyote,the adrenalin is the same,when its not it will be time to hang them up.SO I guess a desire to try something I Loved, handgun shooting,on a new level.
