  • 300M dead center hit with a Classic Steyr Mannlicher.  #jeffcooper
  • It was a great Cooper Class this last week at #gunsite! Our scholarship recipient, Daniel Pinet, is a deputy sheriff from Kentucky. He received an E ticket! Nice job Daniel!
  • During the Korean War Jeff became involved with the training of Nationalist Chinese irregulars, some of whom were rather small and a bit intimidated at the thought of using a 45-caliber machine pistol. Here he demonstrates that two M-3 “Grease-Guns”
can be managed quite easily at once — with fair effectiveness at short range.
(Some may note that at that time Jeff had not yet promulgated Rule III.) #greasegun
  • Happy 106th Birthday Colonel Cooper!  With every year that passes we miss you more and more!
  • Can you identify these 5 of 6 original Combat Masters?  Which one is missing? #legends
  • We had Ai restore this photo of The Colonel.  What do you think? Ya or Nah? Regardless, that’s a nice big Buck! #grok
  • Ian Smith & Jeff Cooper.  Rhodesia, 1977.
  • Have you ever experienced Trycyclophobia? Sketch by Paul Kirchner
  • They say today is World Book Day!  Jeff Cooper had a wonderful library!  Check out his library index on our website!  What are your favorite books?  Jeffcooperdoundation.org
  • If you were fortunate enough to meet Janelle Cooper, you will know that this statement about her from The Guru, is true: “Jane Ellen Marks Cooper, my bride of 60 years.  I have lightly termed her “The Countess”, as that is the only title I may apply to the consort of a “Guru”. The Countess is the only person I have ever encountered, either in person or by reputation, who is without flaw.  Life has handed her its full share of tribulation, fulfillment, and adventure, and she has met each successive year with unmatched wisdom, courage, and pleasure – in equal measure.  The Countess is one of God’s best handworks.  I must have led a truly exemplary life in my previous incarnation if I deserve her in this one”

Random Quote:

“The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.”
