Ad Topperwein was his name. Don Frye is a MMA fighter.

Nooooooooooo. it wasn't Ad. Try this and get back to me. Ad topperwien didn't do this one although he amazed people with his skills all his life.

Tom Frye, 1959. 100,010 blocks, 6 misses. And a nylon 66 of course. Like I noted.

Oh I killed lots of deer with a .22 back when my grandfather had a farm and he got kill permits for them.

He had a old Winchester Model 04 single-shot fitted with a equally old Maxim Suppressor. He and his brother went in together on it sometime just after WW-1, I figure in the 20s. It was a dead-balls accurate little .22.

Back then you just ordered it and and it came to your door. Put a .22 either between the eye/ear or the back of the head of a deer and they pile right up.

Funny thing though, granddad never deer hunted, just small game/turkey.

I never did find out what happened to that old .22. He put it up when we bought him a scoped Remington 580 single shot because he had trouble seeing the irons. I never saw it again, I guess one of his kids took it along with the old cane gun in .32 rimfire he had.

My first was a 22lr.
