PROFESSIONAL MOVIE GUN EXPERT DEBUNKS THE DEBUNKERS OF HOLLYWOOD QUICK-DRAW

By CHARLES MacDONALD HEARD

0 MUCH BUNK, so much de-bunking, glamorizing, criticizing, s half-truths and full lies have been written about the men who make gunplay part of their careers in Hollywood motion pictures, that it seems time the truth "and nothing but the truth" is told con- cerning these actors and professional performers of gun-stunts. I feel that I'm as well qualified as anyone to tell these facts because for the past several years I have worked as a technical advisor on gunwork in films, and/or furnished technical and historical data to writers, producers, and directors of such gunplay stories . . . little of which advice was heeded, I must admit. Before coming to Holly- wood, I shot on pistol and rifle teams in Alaska and the Southwest, and burned a lot of powder on my parents' ranch in Texas. I'm a former Custodian of Weapons at The Alamo, and have been a student of western Americana from my earliest boyhood memories of tales of Injuns and gunfights, as told me by Old Timers who were "there." Like most of the men who work with guns in Hollywood, I now shoot for fun and money. As you have noted in countless films, there are often gross and ludicrous errors made concerning guns, gunfighters, and history in general. Too many of these avoidable errors are blamed upon the actors, stuntmen, gun instructors, gun specialists, or technical ad- visors. In truth we are, or should be, the group least to be blamed and maligned, for we make a profession of performing and teaching -'-$ :., ,-. , <.,,'<,:.;. ~ ..

Movie gunfights are filmed from several angles to get best possible visual sequence, as in scenes above and left in which author Heard and Arvo Ojala duel for TV film. Heard and Ojala have fought many movie battles and Heard hopes some script lets him win so he will not have to do all of the jarring "dead-man falls."

Yet, nearly every article I've seen on this subject is either a cott TV shows which mis-educate your children and fail blasting critique of our movie gunwork, or some publicity to entertain anyone! Then, and only then, will you see gun- man's pipe dream about our "super-fast draws," "dazzling stories done the way you, and we, would like to see them spins," and "amazing trick-shots." done on the screen. The truth is, we are neither supermen nor phonies-just Believe me, we professionals will be very pleased to shoot hard-working, well-practiced performers and technicians our six-shooters the correct five times and then use our who have worked years to acquire our reputations for skill eiector-rods for true realism . . . and I can promise that and knowledge within the movie industry.

By DEV KLAPP

LOT OF PEOPLE would think you were crazy if you A said you were going to Texas for African or Asiatic game. If you said you expected to shoot a Barasingha deer, an Aoudad or Barbary sheep, and a black buck or sable antelope, they'd know you were crazy-provided, of course, that they knew enough about game habitats to realize that these beasts are natives of India, Africa, and Asia respectively. But there's a lace in Texas where you could fill those bag specifications-and more. You could add, for instance, a Sika buck, native of Japan. Or an English fallow deer. Or an eland, straight out of an African safari. . . . Plus, of course, wild turkey, native white tail deer, or almost anything else in the way of game which you could expect to find on the North American continent between the Canadian border and Panama! The place? Captain Eddie Rickenbacker's Bear Creek Ranch, 20 miles west of Kerr- ville, in Kerr County, Texas. The Rickenbacker name explains it, of course. You wouldn't expect things to be ordinary, run-of-the-mill, on a spread owned by this man whose whole life has been packed with the thrills and adventures of far places. And this 2,700 acre ranch will not disillusion you. Managed by Captain Eddie Rickenbacher's son, David, the ranch produces cattle and goats just as do other Texas ranches; but a Rickenbacker "hand" sees, in a day's ride, a lot of Heart of African hunting in Texas is Rickenbacker's native stone ranch house.

And one of the ranch chores is riding herd on the hunters who come to Bear Creek looking for "foreign" game trophies. Rickenbacker guest sportsmen come from all over the United States and from Canada, Mexico, Spain, wherever Captain Eddie has been, and even from places he hasn't visited. They arrive carrying various types of guns and ammu- nition. Usually the caliber, bullet weight, and powder charge are well suited to the animal hunted. But sometimes guests are inexperienced. One hunter from Canada brought along a Mauser 7.9 to bag a 90-lb. black buck antelope.

It probably made the McCoys mad, but so far as we know they did not start the shooting war because of it. Or maybe they did. It's a good story. There's another faction behind the legend that it all started with a dispute over the ownership of a pig. Others say it wasn't a pig at all, but a fiddle. (A fiddle does enter into the story, but not as the cause of the war.) Some say it was simply a matter of politics, with the two families supporting different political parties in dispute over local issues. And some say it was because Devil Anse Hatfield was a captain in the Confederate Army whereas Randy McCoy not only fought on the side of the Union but did so as a private in the ranks.

HOW TO CHOOSE A HANDGUN AND LEARN TO SHOOT IT-BY "THE MAN WHO WROTE 1 THE BOOK" ON THE SUBJECT

By ELMER KEITH

ISTOL SHOOTING as a sport is becoming ever more popular in this - Pcountry, and target shooting is only one phase of the game. Small-game shooting is another, and informal matches at cans or other objects is always fun and good training. Trick shooting is another very interesting phase of the handgun game. The present great demand for first class, accurate, small caliber pistols shows the trend. Safe ranges can be set up in most localities, even in basements in cities where the outdoor scene is too crowded. Anyone desiring to become a good pistol shot should start with the .22 caliber. The recoil is negligible and the report so light that pistol shooting with small calibers can be enjoyed in settled communities, providing a suitable back stop is found. This can be a regular target bunker, a hill of soft sand or dirt, a big block of wood, or one of the many bullet stops now on the market. Start right by buying the best .22 caliber auto pistol or revolver you can afford, preferably with target sights that are fully adjustable. Then you can sight the arm to print exactly where the sights bear on the target. While there are Handgun target shooting many foreign automatic pistols in .22 caliber being offered, I prefer the Colt, is a sport which women, Ruger, and High Standard guns made in this country. .If repairs are needed children can play on even you know where to get them.

That's the job I had in testing the new Appel Process cold-formed rifle barrel. Never heard of an Appel barrel? Chances are you'll be hearing lots about them in the future if my experience was any guide, for we really gave an Appel barrel a workout-and in the process I worked up quite a sweat, too. We had a rifle made up on the Appel barrel, to test for original accuracy, for barrel life, and for re- tained accuracy in its old age. Many a rifled tube will send all of its pills into one hole when it's new, but mighty few of them will do so when the erosive gases of a couple of thousand rounds have gone down their throats. But the German-designed Appel barrel, now made in America, upset this generaliza- tion. Dr. Gustav Appel developed the cold- form process in Germany where it helped the MG-42 compile a fine record for barrel life in fast firing machine guns. The Doctor claims that his rifled barrels are smoother inside, more accurate, longer-lived under hot loads, and possessed of more uniform vibra- tions when fired, than barrels made by other methods. To gain these results, the Appel Process uses a mandrel rod with the rifling machined upside down on its outside diameter. This rod is inserted in a pre-drilled piece of gun steel.

HOTGUNS WOUND MORE GAME, cause more game to be s lost and wasted, than any other gun or any combination of guns used by hunters in the United States today. Yet shotguns are legal hunting arms in many states where rifled guns are pro- hibited. This is no indictment of shotguns. I like shotguns. And I like . shotgun shooting, at proper targets. So do several million other b ', hunters: and of course the principal reason why shotguns wound more game than any other gun is that shotguns are used more times. for more kinds of game. by more hunters, than any other gun. If they are used sometimes on the wrong kind of game, that is not the fault of the gun, nor is it the fault of the hunter. It is the fault of the law.

I got no very satisfactory answer to my question; most states seem not to have sensed the current upsurge of interest in handgun hunting. But 1 did get a startling and not very flattering look at the laws of our land regarding hunting. Some of the state laws defy interpretation; and others reduce to interpretations so illogical as to be absurd. Simply because the shotgun versus rifle controversy is one of

the most common (and one of the most confusing)u. instances of the differences in state hunting laws, let's examine it first.

I fired as rapidly as I could reload and sent four hundred loads through her in three and one half hours. The barrel was charring the wood when I quit. No one would shoot a target rifle like that. I was leaning over backwards to give it a true torture test. After supper Saturday, I loaded up some light rounds of 34.5 grains of Hodgdon powder #4895. I wanted to get some real accuracy figures on Sunday. We had a perfect day Sunday, zero wind, thick overcast and a good light on the targets. I fired just one target to find the point of impact of the lighter load. It was quickly moved up and I settled down to do 272 Pages. Over 100 Illustrations.
