Just learned the Bart Skelton has passed

Post by horsesoldier03 »

I dont think he was ever a member here, but he was definitely respected. No doubt he and Skeeter are glad to be on the same side of the river now!

He retired back in 2015 and took Jim WIlson's place at Shooting Times when he stopped writing.

He was only a couple years older than me, I'm thinking no more than 65.
