- This 1950 black and white demonstration film about the shooting skills of Earl Saul, an amateur sharpshooter, is a Ken Hutchinson Production. It opens with a shot of the Grand American Handicap Trapshooting Competition in Vandalia, Ohio (:23-:35). The camera scans the assortment of guns and targets on a table. Earl demonstrates his skill with the assistance of his daughter Betty Jane, who wears a 1940s short-sleeve sweater and striped shorts. He uses a trapshooting gun to hit small blocks of wood and pierces the tape through the center of a washer (:36-1:23). He next displays his shotgun skills by hitting two clay targets thrown in the air; the first with one shotgun and the second with another shotgun. He breaks two targets simultaneously on both sides of an axe (1:24-2:10). His daughter puts on round sunglasses and holds three pieces of chalk in her hand. Her dad shoots and breaks each one individually (2:11-3:00). She then takes a cigarette from a pack, places it in her mouth, and lights it. He shoots the very end off three times in a row (3:01-3:45). Earl straps on a pistol belt. He holds the pistol properly and shoots at a line of targets, then sideways, then upside-down, and then backwards using a mirror (3:46-4:55). Earl sets up a specially constructed pendulum and stake for demonstrating coordination and timing. Betty Jane starts the pendulum in motion. Earl uses a mirror to shoot the swinging pigeon clay target when it is centered over the fixed one on the stake (4:56-5:38). Earl demonstrates a Western fast draw by holding his hand out with a block of wood on it. He drops and draws the pistol with the same hand to shoot the wood. The shot is also shown in slow-motion (5:39-6:12). Betty Jean takes produce out of a basket and hands him one piece at a time. He throws it up into the air and shoots a grapefruit, a cabbage, a potato wrapped in crepe paper, and a can of fruit cocktail (6:13-6:52). He sits down and points the gun at an easel. He draws the head of an Indian by shooting one shot at a time for 179 shots. He is shown up-close shooting with both eyes open. He shows the completed pictures and autographs them (6:53-9:00).

He went all gangsta on us at 4:27.
This is the most 1950s shenanigans I have ever seen
That sweet little Browning 22 rifle is still made and is still a beautiful and excellent performer.
Anyone else notice that he's a "southpaw"? Semper Fi, TreeTop
Southpaws are a little different.
Squeeze the trigger and shooting with both eyes open are still valid in modern firearms training.
Was the shotgun a Browning?
Not the 1st, it was a pump action
I think it was an Auto 5 or the Savage or Remington version. Was the pistol a Hi Standard?
the guns on the table look like a typical pump hammerless shotgun, a Win. lever action 30/30, a Rem. semi-auto .22 Model 241.
The handgun looks like a high standard HD military
1:50 that was absolutely intentional 💀
I saw a man shoot an Indian head profile when I was a kid I wonder if it was him!
that chick had gonads
She used to but they got shot off.
Yikes!
Amateur??
