Claude is listed as the Revolver champion on the front page with his 80X80 and again on Page 28 in a caption under a picture of him and David Bradshaw. When you look back in the results pages you find that Claude is listed in AAA class....Arthur Lavailee is listed as winner in International class with a 77X80. There is a picture on page 28 of the September issue of the Silhouette with the following caption...

"David Bradshaw, left, congratultates Claude Kinard on retailing his Standing title plus taking the Revolver Championship with a new record 80X80 score, the first".


On Page 29 there is a poem written by Mary Scotto about Claude's shooting records at the Internationals and talks about overcoming his accident.

Al your are right!! That why you get the big money, I had to go back and read my Sept 82 issue of the Silhouette. Kinard was in AAA and it listed 80x80.
If all else fails, read the book.

Claude was staying across the hall from me at the hotel. He was still suffering from the effects of his accident - which makes his shooting all the more impressive !
