Here is another interesting film I found which people might enjoy.

It has clips of the 1960 Rome games in it.

I am most grateful to you for posting this excellent film link.

Great shooting and instructions from Bill MacMillan.
The segment on revolver, where he demonstrates his thumb cocking technique is fantastic.
I just wish he had added a segment on free pistol!

Thank You!!
Jim

I like old black and white films and wished there were more old films on the pistol sports. I like the Advanced Pistol Guide by the AMU, I have it on dvd with great instruction by many AMU shooters and Ray Arrendondo. Wished they had one for the NRA and International disciplines. Stan
