JACK MCELROY COLLECTION 4

This was taken while I was getting ready to do the big show of the day:
"The Gunfight at the OK Corral".

Taken during a show, as a "heavy", I was supposed to rough up a citizen.
This led to a big gunfight later in the show.

In this one, I am on the left and Mickey Banks on the right.
Mickey and I were practicing a stunt using a chunk of tree branch as a club.
The idea was to shatter the club on the hitching rail.
Mickey had to spin out of the way just in the nick of time.

I seemed to specialize in shotgun falls.
In this one I had to come off the ground and "fly" backwards.
