Ray Chapman is Gone

Ray Chapman, one of the fathers of modern pistol craft, 79, of Dallas, formerly of Columbia, Texas passed away Saturday, Feb. 2, 2008.

All who know him will miss his loyal friendship, his honest, bluff way of expression, his sense of humor and his bright, smiling blue eyes. He was a true gentleman, and the best friend a person could hope for.

"Shooting well is simple," said Ray, "it just isn’t easy." It is Ray Chapman's teaching that I rely on any time I pull a trigger on a pistol. He will be missed.
