What has happened to Paladin UK aka PUK
« on: April 05, 2018, 05:27:15 PM »
Can anyone relate the whereabouts of PUK ?

I have not seen him for at least a Lustrum, he has not visited here since ~ 2012, and I fear he has passed unnoticed (on this side of the Atlantic).

He used to shoot with "Picketts Hill Marshals" in Headley Park , UK.

I believe that Sir Charles' Son-and-Heir presented himself there upon occasion....

ever since Jack aka WCF44-40 passed I have been a bit maudlin and thinking of who else may have gone.

I Unfortunately, am of no help in your quest Professor M.  I was myself wondering just the other day where PUK had gotten off to.  Really enjoyed his exchanges and some of his innovations for Percussion were nothing short of Brill.

Hoping for the best of news  :-\

As far as I know both PaladinUK and his Pard Ned PepperGB are doing fine, but just not in CAS/WAS. I think I am in email contact and will send a smoke signal.

Hi Prof,

Hope all is well.

PUK and myself are both well. We are giving CAS a break as we engage in other styles of shooting while we are still young enough to move LOL.

We are shooting 3 gun and I have returned to practical pistol. When the old bones start to slow me down I may return to cowboy shooting.

Best wishes to all my pards across the pond.

Greetings Ned!

I myself started with Rondesvouz & flintlocks & sleeping on the dirt whilst a teen,
then went to "the fast stuff" whilst I was still under 30
then back to "the slow stuff" (Muzzleloaders and CAS & etc) after I .... errrr .... got older...

good to find you and PUK are OK. When I saw that PUK's CAS website was gone I had feared for the worst.
I was always intrigued by PUK's work on C&B revolvers.

As PUK would say, "Bloody Brill!" Thank you for the update.

Phil loud aka PaladinUK replied thusly;

"Hiya Carl,

I`m fine, great to hear from you, and thank the Professa for asking, All of a sudden I just wasn’t enjoying CAS as much, and decided to  `quit whilst ahead`!

I`m glad that your son and heir is still making smoke, he’s a really nice lad. I`m now doing a  lot of Gallery, Mini Rifle. PSG and believe it or not modern 3gun!!

Glad all is well with you, I really hope you aint gonna start wearing green tights `n stuff (or am I too late already)!!

Let us know if/when you’re going to be at Headley and we will try and meet up with you

Take care      Phil"

P.S: The reference to green tights is about my coaching/mentoring for my university archery team.
