I'm not sure about the XP-100, but there is something in the documentary that said something about a storm drain right about where he was shot. They seem to think that someone was in that storm drain and got Kennedy in a crossfire.

Years ago the History Channel ran a show called The Men Who killed The Kennedy's. It was produced by the BBC and it was interesting.

I was in Kindergarten. The flag was put at half staff and the teacher went to find out why, when she found out, she came back and told the class The President has been shot.

I think the Sutton your talking about is Dan Sutton. He beds rifles on the side, and he got Brackneys old lathe, when Bob got a new one, so he's doing some machine work. I think at one time everybody on the line was shooting one of Schniders barrels that they got from Sam.

That would be Louie Toy, he's gone also.

Early to mid 90's, from what I understand Chuck was hunting Elk during the rut somewhere in Colorado with a film crew, a game warden ask to see his tag and there wasn't one. He was at the time the bow hunting editor for Petersens Hunting Magazine, very shortly after he wasn't, I had a subscription at the time and there was no mention of where he went, never seen him in any other either.

Ok Chuck might have hunted in a flannel shirt and jeans with a stocking cap, but I don't think he always had tag on him. He was the bow hunting editor for Petersens Hunting then he dropped off the grid.

Compared to CRats, MRE's aren't to bad at all, but I'll pass just the same.

For someone who might be looking for a new rifle, EuroOptic has Mauser 18's on sale for 429.00. Thought I'd scratch that 6.5 PRC itch. My bud has one in 30-06, he says that they are a good rifle and he paid 600.00 for his. I think with shipping and tax mine was 483.00.

I've posted this before but at Randalls gun shop on 51st and Olive, there is a varmit calling trophy in there with Del's name on it. I met him a couple of times. I've heard a couple of the old timers say that some of those coyotes should have been checked for tire marks with those contest, then they would laugh.

Bob Riazzi passed in 2017. I believe that's the year.

That doesn't always work. It's the FFL's choice to take the CCW or run a background check. I have a CCW and my pickup was delayed one time for 3 days.

The only Del Re store I remember was on Central either Southern or Baseline. Pretty much had to be packing to get to the front door. There was a Mexican resturant in that area La Casa Rivera that I was in a couple of times. The chili's there would just about take the hide off your tongue, mine anyway.

Phx Shooters Supply was a couple of doors down from Phx Fishing Supply on 16th St. Wasn't that a AZ Sportsman on Camelback and 7th either St or Ave?

He would have been the same time as Charles Askins Jr. Your mentor wasn't a taxidermist was he.

George Parker the border patrolman that was known for his Coues trophies.

Askins just to eliminate him, and maybe Parker for the win?

The story is told that there was a Marine Engineer Reserve unit in Phx, that cleared the land for the public range, I was told that Manuel Levas owned a bar in the Peoria area, from what I was told that Manuel showed up with enough booze to keep those Marines liquored up to finish the range.

No don't know the date. Kneeling left to right was told his name was Butterfield, don't know for sure, next unknown Marine, 3rd is Ben Avery, 4th is Bob Jensen, pretty sure he's the only one living. 1st standing Roy Dunlap, next Dick Thompson, 3rd is unknown, 4th is L.E. Lou Ronninger, Lou was the high civilian at Perry in 63, I believe, next is Milt Hood, founded the Tucson Three Points range, Tucson Rifle Club, last guy's last name was Cannon, was called Pappy Cannon, was told that the Black Canyon range could have been named after him as well.

Unfortunately I'm not sure about him, Tony, or the first two kneeling. I'm pretty sure that there's only one of these guys still living. The last guy kneeling is Bob Jensen.

You are correct it is at Camp Perry. Roy Dunlap is the first standing on the left.

You are correct kneeling 3rd from left is Ben Avery.

PO Ackley was a gunsmith, but he's not in this pic.
