Non Shooting pistol match.........

[Bob Wright]

At our church recently, East Side Baptist Church in Memphis, we held a Sportsmans Banquet.  The basis of the banquet was for all who wished, to contribute game meat for the banquet.  I had venison stew, venison chili, bacon wrapped duck breasts, tossed salad and pecan pie with strawberry cake.

A feature of the event was a "pistol match."  This utilized a 9mm pistol of some plastic design.  A laser device was placed in place of a live round in the chamber.  Shooting was at a projected target and firing from three, six, and nine yards back, two rounds each distance.  The target projected the target image on the wall, and each "shot" resounded with the sound (sort of) of a shot, and a bullet hole appeared on the projected target for bystanders to see.  The pistol had to be racked after each shot.  The "prize" was a tin sign of an old S&W advertising sign.

 

I won the pistol match, and took a lot of ribbing the next Sunday morning.
