Has LD shown up here on this new forum? He is a wealth of information and I always enjoyed his posts. If he is not here yet, perhaps someone that knows him can invite him.
Id like to see him here as well. I'd imagine that as the traffic picks up more guys will join. Especially when they see both the technical superiority and the way it's managed
LD is Larry Durham. He is one of the most accomplished airgun shooters, designers, and gun smiths in the U.S. He has been a long-time partner with Mac1 airguns, creating several "LD" designs. But, what's more is that he is one of the most sensible, down-to-earth, and giving members of our community. I have not seen him since 2011 - at the first Extreme Benchrest competition. But, he left a lasting impression on me when he offered me a coat after seeing that I was ill-prepared for the unseasonable Arizona weather. I hope to see him again some day. Tim (Mac1 owner) actually won the EBR last year. That makes 1 for Tim and 1 for LD. It is my hope that a little friendly rivalry draws LD back out for 2015.
