Lindy,

Our country had been shackled in 1938 by A.H., only to see itself be engulfed by the ever so hungry red beast from the east. The iron curtain and the totalitarian regime kept such a strong squeeze on our throats that we did not know what George Lucas’ Star Wars was, the information simply could not penetrate through. Despite this most unpleasant reality, I managed to find a strange name with butchered up spelling in numerous military and LE instruction books of that era. The materials were taught to the troops and police personnel. The man in the black and white photographs demonstrated proper firearm grip with the finger strictly off the trigger. The environment around him looked like a desert. The misspelled name of that individual read “Džef Kůpr”.

This year we get to celebrate Gunsite’s 50th anniversary. To the Czechoslovakians, that is ten years longer than the Soviets managed to hold us hostage with the aid of 20+ million active soldiers strong.

Such is the power of the Raven!
