Nice movie, thanks...
Not everyone wears glasses in 1951.
Ejection is near universal.
Apparently shells were plentiful even at the height of the Korean war.
The ladies had yet to adopt the silly vertical gun mount.
More tents than RV's.
Indeed, obesity less evident in 1951.
Way fewer shell vests, no synthetic fibers, shells all paper and no plastic wads.
Great hats and club patches!
Imagine what a road trip was like in 1951 with no interstate highways and tires that lasted maybe 3,000 miles. Air travel was costly and dangerous, and the train would require some kind of local transportation. Grand attendees were dedicated.
Shooting was expensive in those days too, we had a newspaper article posted at the local club from the early 50's when the sport was just getting geared up again after WW2. I used an inflation calculator that showed inflation adjusted prices in that era to be about 2.5 times what we were paying in about 2010 or so.
It's still a great participant sport with a rich history. I hope future generations can save it.
