Brian Bilby, a famous Yankee (Michigan) pistolsmith, had a devoted following among some of us Southern shooters. He liked to refer to us collectively as his Team Redneck. We had some T-shirts made and got together with Brian at the 2000 IDPA Nationals where we had a great time and made great fun of the "official" Yankee Pistolsmith to Team Redneck.
Little did we know that in a few short weeks Brian would no longer be with us. He passed away near Christmas time last year. The original Team Redneck will forever more be the only ones to have the shirts. Other owners and admirers of Brians masterful work "the Team Redneck Wannabes" have been invited to join us at this year's IDPA Nationals to remember Brian. All are welcome.
