I have a question for the more senior of our participants ;D, does anybody know if any Canadians have accumulated any Hall of Fame Points? Just curious, and with the NBRSA site down, I can't access the list of points winners.
-
Clint Benidick with 1 and there was someone else, I believe his name was Gary Fields with 1
-
Thanks Bill. I don't recognize these names. Any idea when this was, and do they still shoot?
-
Both in the late 70's and early 80's. Clint owned and ran the Stittsville range, his daughter still does. Gary was a shooter from up in the Ottawa area.
-
www.nbrsa.org is back up. Clint has 1 point and Gary has 2 points. I see a James Nagy on there as well. Does anybody know if this was Otto Nagy from the Calgary area, from years ago? Anybody recognize any other Canadians on there?
-
I had a quick look and I know 99% of the people on there and did not recognize anyone else. James Hagy, can't remember were from but it was a very long time ago, maybe the late 60's, early 70's and he was from the States. If I remember correctly he use to write for Precision Shooting.

Going to resurrect this thread from the dead.
In addition to Clint and Gary above, Peter Smith won a HOF point last year, and Hugh Williamson just won one. There was about a 30 year drought with no Canadians winning a HOF point. Well done, first to Peter and now to Hugh!
