until he didn't agree anymore with the gear that won those same matches. :-) I laughed myself silly when I saw the change. Most of us that knew him well had seen the hyprocite come out of el Jefe many times before this.

Coop was writing about "practical" competition. That's what the "P" stood for in IPSC. When the guns and gear started to resemble Star Wars, he divested himself of the whole gamesmanship deal. Coop was like the rest of us Dinosaurs. We see what gamesmen consider the word "Practical" to mean, and we know that the English language is doomed.
As for being hypocritical, it simply appears he expected intelligent men to understand what practical meant, and not try to game it, and he expected the powers that be, to limit the gamesmanship to that which was practical.
Coop was three times the man that any of his detractors ever were...or currently are.

Not just troll, but I'd bet money that it's an old recycled troll.

I think he would be impressed at the skills some of the current shooters possess. I think you all would in the flesh.
Of course most of those guys in the picture probably launched a little lead at targets that shot back.

I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

Of course most of those guys in the picture probably launched a little lead at targets that shot back. Plus they look really cool. Travis

As for the "Most of us that knew him well" part; I'm calling you out. Put up or shut up. My guess is you'll do neither.
