Herb Parsons and his lovely wife - age 27 and 26
Mississippi State Shoot 1936
Some of the many words of wisdom from the great Shooter,
Sportsman, and American - Herb Parsons:
"Hunt WITH your son or daughter, and you will never
have to hunt FOR them"
"You show me a good sportsman, and I'll show you a
good American"
"It's just as important to be a good sportsman as it
is to be a good shot".
A story about Herb
Parsons and the movie Winchester 73,
by his son Lynn
In 1950 my father's shooting schedule in Florida was interrupted and he
was flown across the country to Hollywood to serve as a
consultant on the movie WINCHESTER 73, starring Jimmy
Stewart. The storyline of the movie revolves around
possession of a very special "1-of-1000"
Winchester rifle, model 73. In a contest for the rifle, the protagonists
tie at shooting still targets, so a shootoff involves shooting
a metal link taken from the necklace of an Indian among the crowd
of onlookers and tossed into the air. Stewart's character shoots at
the washer which falls to the ground untouched. He then maintains he must
have shot through the center (hole) of the washer. A stamp is placed
over the hole and the washer is rethrown. These washer shots were ACTUALLY
MADE by my father standing off camera (see attachment) This was in
the days before trick photography and computers. Authenticity was the only
option!
The model 71 rifle my father used is now on loan to the Cody Firearms Museum
of the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming, (see attachment) as is
the necklace the Indian wore in the movie. Embedded in the
stock of the rifle is a shot Universal Studios medallion and engraved
on the stock are the autographs of all the actors in the movie (The
signatures cannot be seen in the picture.)
Around 1985, Universal Pictures released a laserdisc (remember those?!)
which contained, along with the movie, an interview with Jimmy
Stewart discussing his career and the making of WINCHESTER
73, including this particular scene. JUST LAST WEEK
Universal Studios released this program in DVD format! It
can be purchased on Amazon.com . It is worth the money just
to hear Jimmy Stewart talk about his horse!.......and now you know some
other "trivia" which no one else knows! Thought you might be interested.

Shooting tips of the
Century...
The most committed win!
Yes...
you can!
Go ahead risk it, say hello!
There's always Today!
"If you think you
can, or if you think you can't... you're right!"
Do it big, or stay in bed.
Be anchored to
some ideal, philosophy or cause that keeps you too excited to sleep.
Practice being excited!
Have the guts to go!
More powerful than the will to win is
the courage to begin
Do one thing after
another, one at a time.
Never try to catch two frogs with one
hand
When one must,
one can!
Change your thoughts and you change
your world.
Your friend is
the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
Shoot as if it is impossible to fail!
When things go
wrong, don't go with them!
Forget tomorrow, today is the day!
Don't fear what you
want.
He conquers who endures!
Big shots are only
little shots who keep shooting!
The real sin is to persuade
oneself that the second best is anything but second best.
Success seems to be
largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
"To be what we are, and to become what
we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life"
Robert Louis Stevenson
If you always do
what you've always done, you'll always get what you always got!
“Far
better it is to dare mighty things,
even though checkered by failure,
than to live in that gray twilight that
knows neither victory nor defeat...”
Teddy Roosevelt
Gun control is not
about guns;
it's about control!
Press on!
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not:
Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will
not: unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not:
the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination
alone are omnipotent!
Hit just one more
target, why not!
The squeaky wheel doesn't always get
greased, it often gets replaced.
From self alone
expect applause.
Some Brain food:
We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then is not an act, but a habit...
Aristotle |
