SDHandgunner Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Good morning all. I am new to the forums and probably should introduce myself. I am 55 years old and have been hunting since I was old enough to do so legally. I am married (32 years now) have two daughters and two grandchildren (that are my pride and joy). I have been an avid Handgun Hunter since 1982. After years of reading of the exploits of Bob Milek in 1982 I sold every rifle I owned and bought a Remington XP-100 and a T/C Super 14 Contender. In the years since 1982 I have Hunted with the following in Handguns: .22 LR (Small Varmints) .223 Remington (Varmints & Coyotes) 6mm-223 (Varmints, Coyotes & Whitetail Deer) 6mm T/CU (Varmints, Coyotes & Whitetail Deer) .243 Winchester (Varmints, Coyotes & Whitetail Deer) .250 Savage (Varmints, Coyotes & Whitetail Deer) 7-30 Waters (Whitetail Deer) 7mm I.H.M.S.A. (Whitetail Deer) .284 Winchester (Whitetail Deer) .30-30 Winchester (Varmints, never did shoot a Deer with a .30-30 Contender) .30-30 Ackley Improved (Whitetail Deer) I currently have 2 T/C Contender Frames (1 original Contender and 1 G2 Contender). Both are stainless-steel as are my barrels. I have 3 Super 14 Contender Barrels, a .22 LR Match with a 3x12x Burris LER Handgun Scope for Small Varmints and Indoor Bench Rest Competition, a .223 Remington for Varmints & Coyotes and a 7-30 Waters for Whitetail Deer. I have had the good fortune to have been able to take a lot of Varmints, Predators and Whitetail Deer over the years with these Single Shot Handguns. I also compete in Indoor Handgun Competitions every Winter at a local Indoor Shooting Range. This shooting varies from our Bullseye League to a Falling Plate League to a simulated Combat Type League. I have been fascinated with handguns for as long as I can remember. Thanks for reading. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDHandgunner Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Nope, not even close. However a gun dealer buddy of my was a dead ringer for Larry Weishuhn, right down to the Cowboy Hat. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Yeah, Larry's a great guy; met him about a month ago at the Professional Outdoor Media Association Conference in Sioux Falls. He's one of the board members of the organization and was a blast to talk with. Looking forward to our trails crossing in the future and hope to share many hunts in the future.

SDHandgunner Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Thanks guys. Yes the .30-30 Ackley Improved is the largest Contender Chambering I have had so far. In XP-100's, Savage Strikers and T/C Encores I have used the .243 Winchester, 7mm I.H.M.S.A. and .284 Winchester. I may be getting a .35 Remington Contender in the not to distant future though.
