Don't tell Saeed's brother! He'll set up his own pistol range and within 2 years will probably win it as well.

I am assuming he used a 32 cal.semi auto, pretty much standard for this event. Hammerli used to dominate.

Congratulations Dr. Heath! What are the scores awarded for discharging a M-57 S&W 41 magnum inside a house during the first hour after meeting your new client from the USA and hitting your safari tin thereby killing your rice pot and sleeping bag? Big Grin Eeker clap sofa

I don't know for certain, but I bet he used a STI semi-auto in 40 S&W.
