Michael, I didn't know that Charlie has passed. I shot some Scheutzen with Charlie and the rest of the crowd at the matches in Asheville, NC years ago. Even took a nip or two with Charlie in his camper after dinner, much to the chagrin of the "range patrol". He was certainly a wealth of knowledge and I always enjoyed how he dressed. blair
Charlie was one in a long line of good people who had an interest in the Schuetzen rifle. We would occasionally correspond but I found it better to just call him in the evening and run my new ideas past him. I did get to spend a day at his house-shop in VA. I liked Charlie a lot, the big difference we had was I am a traditionalist when it comes to the Schuetzen rifle and he was not. I hope you have his two books, I don't know if they are still available or not.
