Cherry Ridge Proshop question

Recommended Posts

My grandfather used to shoot in smallbore competitions, and as a kid my dad would usually tag along. Many of these matches were shot at Cherry Ridge in the 60's and 70's.

 

My dad remembers seeing an aluminum sheet that someone placed downrange, and shot an image of an American Indian into using 22LR. As in someone drew it with 22LR and patience. He remembers it hanging in the "proshop" or something like that. Is it still there? Does anyone know what I am rambling about? Anyone have pictures?

 

Thanks!

Not familiar with that particular piece of "art", but when I was in Junior High school (for you youngin's that was what we had before there was a "middle" school), we used to have what were called "Paid Assemblies". These were special presentations for which our parents had to fork over a little extra dough. One such assembly was a trick shooter who did the Indian head using a .22. Can you imagine shooting a gun, on-stage, at a school with an audience of children today? Guess what - no one was injured, maimed or killed - imagine that.

 

Aside from the trick shooter, the only other assemby that I remember was a professional whistler. he was famous (?) for whistling the theme song on the Andy Griffith show.

 

Adios,

lol, I did it for free so I dont think it counts as profesional. That bird also picked up on some Jingle Bells and mixes the two songs together, funny to hear.
