After yesterday’s post of the 1986 Second Chance Combat Shoot, I stumbled across raw footage taken at the 1982 event. The cameraman who posted the video thought it was maybe 1984 or 1985, but you can occasionally make out the ’82 date on the shooters’ badges. Careful watchers will notice John Nowlin Jr., gunwriter/instructor Jim Higginbotham, and gunsmiths Jeff Wassom, Jerry Moran, Denny Reichard, J. Michael Plaxco, and Bill Wilson. If you last long enough, you can even catch a pre-legend Jerry Miculek, along with his brother Donnie (Bayou Bullets). While Jerry had set a single-run record the year before, he is clearly struggling here.
