Old Marine and Shootin guru dies

[Echo_Four_Bravo]

I don't know if anyone else around here in involved or interested in pistol shooting/competition. But, the man that changed the way most of us shoot, Lt. Col. Jeff Cooper died yesterday. He was a WWII and Korea vet, author, professor, along with numerous other things.

I didn't see anything here, so I thought I would pass the news along.

That is to bad. He had lived a life of adventure. I always injoyed reading the stories he wrote. I had personal corisspondice with him on servil shooting problems I had. The shooting world will miss him.

I will try to put some stuff together later. For now, here is a link to the wikipedia entry about him.
