History
Created by trick shooters Dot and Ernie Lind in 1948 during their thirty year period of shooting for Winchester and dated to the Vinkel family who I was told were also sharp shooters from may have been from the Cambridge Illinois area. I was told that Mrs. Vinkel was one of the groundbreaking female sharp shooters who was a remarkable shooter in a world that at the time was entirely a mans competition.
