Olympic pistol competition, Stockholm Sweden 1912

Could not think where else to put this, so dropping it here.

Didn't they start having a blank paper behind the target that would move after each shot as George Patton (yes, that Patton) claimed to put 2 shots through the same hole in the 1912 Olympics?

Moveable backers are quite common in competitive shooting events

Interesting why they place trigger finger like that.

The Viberg brothers were snappy dressers, in or out of uniform. I'm going to start wearing a tie to the range now.

Yes, after George Patton claimed to have put 2 shots through the same hole in the 1912 Olympics.

I seen it in centerfire BR matches. Just put 4 in a nice cluster and pump one into the dirt. No one can prove anything but the moveable backer sure tells the story.

Man, I feel like a slob in my ballcap and cargos.
