His Dad getting a 1022 from Bill ruger, and he shot it so much, the receiver cracked. And burning up a crate of 45acp surplus through a convertible Blackhawk along the base of the Florida mountains in NM. At least I think that was Barts stories. RIP.

If so, i knew his son, Skeeters grandson, who was the Mgr until a couple of years ago. Last edited by jaguartx; 04/25/23.

Seems like he may have been a federal marshal once, but I'm not positive about that. Last edited by 1911a1; 04/25/23. Figures don't lie, But Liars figure Assumption is the mother of mistakes

I have Skeeter Skelton's last book, unread, still in the original shipping sleeve, for sale. I have most of Skeeter's Shooting Magazine articles so do not need the book. Ordered it before Skeeter died. I want $90.00 plus $10.00 for shipping, USPO MO. PM me if you're interested. L.W.
