Rem used to have an ad, with a shooter sitting on a pile of wooden blocks that had been shot with a Nylon 66


2 inch square hand thrown wood blocks, if my memory is not plumb shot. Seems like his name might have been Tom Fry. miles


Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Tom Frye

In 1959, champion Tom Frye of Remington Arms Company broke Ad Topperwein's aerial shooting record for shooting 2� inch cubes of wood thrown in the air. Over a period of 13 9 hour long days, using several Remington Nylon 66 semi-automatic .22 Long Rifle rifles, he hit 100,004 of the 100,010 blocks thrown in the air. Frye's record is disputed because his thrower tossed the blocks in line with the rifle barrel, while Topperwein's thrower tossed the blocks perpendicular to the rifle barrel, thus making Topperwein's shots much more difficult.[citation needed] Also among Frye's accomplishments was a run of 800 straight singles in trap, set in 1963.[5][6]
