This morning in court waiting for the judge to take the bench the subject of dueling was brought up in a "gallows humor" way. I mentioned that it used to be an Olympic sport and got a bunch of slack jawed looks.
So, I think, I bet INGO may not know about this either. So, in the interest of historical interest only, I am starting a thread on Olympic dueling in the 1906 Olympics (shot at dummies) and 1908 (demonstration sport wherein competitors shot at each other using wax projectiles).
