Title: Met a Tradgang Legend today
Post by: gregg dudley on September 01, 2012, 09:43:00 PM
I had a great time shooting (and was humbled) at Horse Creek today. I got to shoot with msome good buddies and I also got to meet someone that I have "known" from tradgang for a number of years, but never crossed paths with before.

After years of talking to Robert Carter on the internet I finally got to meet him.

He is a great guy as advertised, but it was a costly encounter.  Here is Rick Connell making payment for the shooting lessons we got...

I was sick, didn't get much sleep last night, shot twenty targets before the sixty I shot with him, had a dried up contact lens in my right eye, and had a rock in my left shoe, but other than that he beat me fair and square.

Another satisfying encounter with a tradgang contact.  That makes six this summer alone.

Cool!  I have also communicated with RC a number of times thru the years and been entertained/educated by his posts many times but have yet to have the pleasure of meeting him in person.  Maybe one day.

Man, that's a rowdy looking crew! Sounds like y'all had a great time. Can you talk Robert into coming down to TBOF shoot in the spring?

I didn't recognize him without a half-dozen dead hogs in the photo. I'm actually surprised his feral hog population hasn't migrated north out of fear.  :)

Looks like a great day!  :thumbsup:  

I think RC might be one of those guys that'll "shoot OK" till ya get your money out, then kiss it good bye.  :laughing:

Yeah, don't believe Robert when he says he can' t shoot. He is a great guy. I am glad you got to meet him.

Heck! I didn't think they would let RC out of the Georgia swamps this time of year. That snake that struck at him a while back must have really got his attention. RC is still high on my list to share a campfire with. As for his shooting ability, he kills far to much stuff to be anything but good. Thanks for sharing my man.
