Here is a photo of the C.I.L. rifle team from the early 50's.
These guys did not lose a matchh for TEN YEARS!

Recognize anybody?
Edson Warner ( father of Maple_Leaf_Eh? ) is fourth from the left, beside George Marsh.
My father is on the far left, above him is the famous Rudy Shultz.
I used to know all these guys, but over the years have forgotten most.

Cat - seriously, which one is your dad? Kidding partner.....
 
Second from the left in the front row is Art Grundy. Between Art and Edson is Stan Frost, third from the left in the front row. Both of these guys are still shooting DCRA matches.

Great pics. I love the Martini.
Dad used that rifle for years ( the top photo was 1952)
It was proven performer.
That was the last year however.
I think he used an Anschutz 1418 free rifle when he went to the World's in '66.
It hung around the house for a long time, theen it was all of a sudden ---GONE!
