he was an exhibition shooter for Remington peters -- one of his trademarks was to shoot the silhouette of an Indian chief on to a tin target --- I am also interested in finding a picture of him---a couple of years ago I caught a news clip of him doing this on Daytona Beach in the 50's I would very much like to have a video of this. ddmccall@earthlink.net
My dad had a sporting goods store in 1952 where Ken Beegle shot the silhouette of an Indian chief on to a tin target from approximately 50 feet free-standing rapid fire with pre-loaded .22 caliber rifles. He signed it "Best Wishes to Williamson Sport Shop, Ken Beegle Rem-Pet 4/19/52". Every shot is an exact shot in line with the Chiefs feathers and facial features. I had it framed for my dad. I have often wondered the history of this Excellent sharpshooter. bobwilliamsonar@sbcglobal.net
His name is actually spelled Beegle. (I'm named after him; he was my great-uncle, although I never met him.) There apparently is a video available: www.gunfighter.com/videos/files/products/fast-and-fancy. kbeegle55@comcast.net
