Muzzleloading has lost a Great one , Doc White on Aug 2 , 2022 .
He was 86 .
Many of todays mz advancements came through this man . 200++ yd range accurate shooting , the effective common use of bore riders by design are but a couple . His White Rifles are true classic designs Still in demand today in 410 , 451 , 504 , and 540 . Offererd in several models , All are Prized . I will never sell my Super 91 in .410 as It will shoot 400gr with Regularity .562 to .565 Diameter 1 Hole groups @ 100 yds with a low power scope if i do my part . "Mighty Whitey" is a hunting and shooters joy !!!
Docs thourogh thrashing of the competition at the NMRLA Manufacturers Championship shut that event down and truly is a Landmark in NMLRA history . Not bad as a conical thrower for sure !!! Nobody wanted to compete after that anymore i guess .......
Green River Rifle Works built True traditional guns to very high standards and then White Shooting Systems took off next to influence mzl yet presently . Even Henry Ball and Savage along with SML builds today owe Doc a bit of gratitude as their "Roots" . Doc was quite a guy and a class act innovator . Truly a Legend in Muzzleloading .
Rest in Peace Doc . Thank you for all youve gave us of yourself !!! Doc was a Jesus believer and follower , taught about and served Him . He was a true Highly Regarded Medical Doctor , a Aviator , a Spouse , a Dad , a Grandpa , and a Great Grandpa too in addition to his rifles and hunting passions achievements with friends from all walks of life in his journeys . Most of his shooting friends... Doc never met us yet !!! "Functionally Elegant" was a term he liked to describe his rifles and technology with . I think they had a whole lot of "him" in them and i believe that Term fits Dr. Gary Banks White's contribution to life best too ........
