Matt Dryke won the Olympic gold medal in 1984 with a $300 Model 3200 Remington. His competition 3200s were straight out of the box, like mine were. No custom stocks, added ribs, choke work, just stock 28" skeet guns. One time, Matt was on the road for a social situation, not to shoot. He showed up at Prince Georges Trap and Skeet in Maryland, with his girlfriend, whose name I will not mention, but no gun. We were shooting on an International field, shooting legal International birds. He was shooting her gun, which was not a 3200 and was a bit short in the stock. She was a Beretta employee and shot Beretta guns. He was not up to his usual level with it. I gave him my 3200 to shoot and he liked it, ran the first 25 birds. We went on to shoot a few more rounds and Matt ran the next 75 for 100 straight. As most of you know, a 100 straight is not common in this game, either in competition and less likely in a practice session. I am not afraid to tell this story because it is true and if Matt reads this, he will get a chuckle out of it. Bill Murphy
