A friend of mine, who was a regular on this sight years ago, told me a story about someone who had access to some very good double rifle that posted comments. He said he thought he was named Shootaway. From what I was told Shootaway was kind of like a know it all that you guys had to Bitch Slap. Is my friend full of it or was Shootaway someone that did exist and needed Bitch Slapped or was he a good guy and a parodie? | ||

A bit odd in the head and he worked hard to turn people against him. He made a short comeback under another name and Saeed recognized him, called him out, and he disappeared. In Shootaway's words, I was the "garbage collector" as I had a nice selection of pre war English doubles and nothing on earth was a good as his Searcy .450. Yes, he pissed off a lot of good gents here. But, he made his own bed. _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

I believe that George has been posting as "Ready Aim Shoot". At least that was the latest 'handle' for him here on AR. | |||

The impression I got was that George is one of those people who should never have gotten involved with guns or hunting. We have had quite a few of those here over the years. And every single one was shown for what he really is. George might be an expert. In his own mind!  | |||

Thanks, MY friend said that he didn't understand why George did some of the posts he did but enjoyed how the other members would straighten him out. He said it was quite funny at times. | |||

There's always some sort of humor going on here on AR. Just ask our host Saeed, about Walter.  They are the original international team of Laurel and Hardy.  Or, is it Abbott and Costello? | |||

I met George at DSC in early 2020 ( I think ). We had emailed a couple of times. He seemed a quiet guy, perhaps a loner in some respects and in my estimation obviously has that smouldering love of Africa hunting burning within. It was easy enough talking to George about our Africa hunting experiences. A while back he posted a video here of an Elephant hunt he did ( in Moz ? ) with Rich Tabor. Said he edited the movie himself and whatever the case I thought it successfully captured the grit and essence of his hunt. I enjoyed watching it. Not defending some of his AR behaviour. I think George tested Buzz Charlton's tolerant nature once too often and earned himself a ban but an AR profile is not always a true indication of a man's character when the interaction is more personal. Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing. | |||

Great point. From what I have read here the members of AR probably compose some of the greatest living hunters and gun builders left today. The wealth of information available and how the members answer any question you pose is truly amazing. The members are a rare breed of men in todays world. | |||

AR is like a very large village. The people living there are from all walks of life. From all corners of the world. Governed by very loose rules. One stands on his own two feet, and is judged by his behavior. This has shown that we have the best of what society offers in character, honesty and integrity. And we also have some of the absolutely worse, low life of the hunting community. Each of us can decide what to believe, or not to believe. I have met a large number of members here, there are others I would love to meet. There are a few I would not careless if they fell off the face of the earth. These are the shameful idiots, who have proven to us time and time again, what sort of low lives they are. | |||

That's a fair comment. Never had any dealings with the chap but some of his posts did strike me as slightly odd. ROYAL KAFUE LTD Email - kafueroyal@gmail.com Tel/Whatsapp (00260) 975315144 Instagram - kafueroyal | |||

I remember something about cow buffaloes being shot. He did provide some entertainment and I might have met him at the safari shoot in Montana White Mountains Arizona | |||

George came to Houston for the Hoot and Shoot at the Bayou Rifle range, south of Houston, back in 2010. Quite a few of us met him there. He was a little bit odd on the forum, however I will use a quote from Mr. Jines' post about the event.

He came to the Hoot and Shoot - and shoots VERY well. I loaded him my lott RSM and I believe he won the bolt action shoot-out he also has some VERY odd concepts arounds guns and maintenance - I think he enjoyed the attention, after a fashion opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

I met him at the 2020 DSC. He seemed very quiet and reserved. I told him that I enjoyed his elephant hunting video. He made a frontal brain shot on his elephant with iron sights. Dropped it on the spot. He then recorded the cutting up of the elephant by the locals. It was all very interesting and well done. | |||
