I'm working on another novel with shooting-related themes in it. I have a scene set in May of 1966 in which a young boy is given instruction by an Olin employee in the proper technique of shooting a match grade, scoped, bolt action .22 rimfire rifle off of sandbags.
I prefer to use real people in the historically-based fiction that I write.
Does anyone know of a person who worked at either Winchester or Olin in 1966, and was also at that time a benchrest shooter, and perhaps a member of BRRC? He needn't be an actual competitor in NBRSA matches, just someone who regularly shot accurate, scoped rifles off of sandbags, and not just a once-a-year hunter making sure his rifle was sighted in right before deer season.
Thanks!
