Not a real movie guy, but as I am not familiar with John's work, could you please name a few recent (last 10 years)movies he either directed or produced, would like to "see for myself"--
I surmise Stevie Spielberg is not in that same mileu as John- in "Saving Private Ryan"-- the left-handed Ranger Pvt. (played by Barry Pepper) is in a tower, sniping German troops from the higher advantage point snipers prefer-- he fires 8 rounds from his modified and scoped 1903 BA- without reloading- and doing this from the "southpaw" side, taking the rifle out of his shoulder to work the RH Bolt- a 1903 only holds 5 rounds-- RWTF
"The field is the touchstone of the man"..

Thought I'd resurrect this thread for Clark & Carole, and for fun. BTW Clark's DHE may have been from Joan Bennett rather than Carole.

Fred MacMurray in 1936 and he was apparently one of Hollywood's best skeet shooters http://www2.powercom.net/~fredmac/fam.html

It appears on all the older pictures the shooters were brought up the same way I was....no hearing protection.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

Drew's picture of Cap Grier reminds me that General Grier was a Winchester pro, shot a pair of Model 21 32" vent rib Trap grades, one of which is in my gun room. I know where the other one is, but the owner wants mine more than I want his. My Cap Grier 21 was ordered for him after he participated in a world record doubles squad about 1938. Apparently, John Olin wanted him to have a backup, just in case. The Model 12 in the picture may have been a loaner, since he was a rifle shooter in the event that year.

Follow up on Aldo Leopold's 20: his son Starker was my major professor at Berkeley, and died suddenly in August 1983, just in time to avoid reading my thesis. Afterwards, his wife told me that he had left a 20 for repair at a local gunsmith but she could never find a receipt and no local shops admitted to having it (needless to say, there are no gun shops in Berkeley today). She didn't know the maker, only that it was valuable, and I have always wondered if that might have been Aldo's gun. I was at Berkeley before you, but never met A. S. Leupold. I re-read his book on California Quail every couple of years.

The part I like about the McQueen movie is that if you watch the clip there are three hubcaps that come flying off in the chase scene. But if you look closely the lead car still has three on it at the end. I guess those classic hubcaps just catch up and hammer themselves back on.
