Terrific photos and information as always. Thanks for posting these Scott. Too many good looking rigs to mention, though the CF from Delran is exceptional!

John Walters is alive and well, he is living here in Vegas and still goes out shooting with Chuck Madderom and I. He does not shoot the apparatus any more but he gets all the stats of the rigs. He is a very friendly, down to earth person.
