The video is grainy and not the quality we are used to today .. but it is fun to watch. I captured these stills from the video. I was doing some quick draw with full power .45 Colt loads, using my 7 1/2" Ruger Blackhawk. I tossed the piece of wood with my gun hand, jerked the gun and shot the chunk on of wood. Back in those days I did this kind of stuff all the time. On the video Mike Venturino and I also are doing quick-draw, shooting bowling pins off the table. Lots of good memories and video of old friends long gone.
