Iconic American Lawman Profile 2

 

Delf Augustus Bryce, aka: "Jelly" Bryce,  made his mark in Law Enforcement by way of his shooting skills. Using his own version of Point Shooting, his method became the standard for the FBI that lasted for decades. The article linked below from American Rifleman gives a good overview of the life, times, and career of this Iconic American Lawman.

For anyone more interested the career of Jelly Bryce, I highly recommend the book "Legendary Lawman - The Story of Quick Draw Jelly Bryce" by Ron Owens.
