Come to the little "burb" where I live, Field. I'll show you the bank where indeed I was when it did in fact undergo a "hard take down." While I could have ended the *******'s foray, my weapon was too valuable to give up for evidence, and taking his life wasn't worth that. Oh, I only watch police videos when I'm training the police

Anthony,
Something tells me you have a beautiful tool like a Kimber pro carry, commander-style 1911. I'm thinking not quite an IPSC race gun but something fast and extremely reliable that makes a .45" hole.

Hi Phil, nope, just a prosaic HK P2000 9mm. It's serves me well, given the arthritis in my wrists
The long stuff is the esoteric gear S/F, brother,

perhaps your thoughts about guns are what is ichy. How can an inanimate, machined & polished object be ichy? Just puzzles me.

I shoot, and I support the right to bear arms. Don't necessarily require the right to carry here in Australia, but I think everyone should have some weapons safety training and everyone should be allowed the right to handle some firearms at a safe place like a range - and learn how to use them safely.

And don't forget the right to arm bears!

I used to do a lot of tournament based target shooting, with .22LR rifles and airguns.
Only thing in my gun locker that works at the moment is my M1 Rifle (Springfield Armory 1943), but it only shoots blanks I'm afraid.

I can hardly think of 2 things more different.
Shooting is about hitting the target, the bulls eye. It's about repetition, doing the same thing over and over exactly the same way in order to perfect and standardize every nuance. The goal is to arrive at the same result every time.
Taking pictures is not that at all.
Cheers,
Gary

gns,
actually long range precision shooting deviates quite remarkably from your protocol, which is quite suitable for an indoor 25meter .22LR shooting. When out of doors, there is great need for variability in the shooter's approach depending upon such things as: ambient light, temperature, humidity, density altitude, the effects of wind, coriolis, ammunition, i.e., powder type and charge, primer, case, together with ballistic coefficient, bullet design and configuration. And I haven't even begun to talk about target distance, target inclination, declination; known or unknown distance; type of scope, type of scope reticle; yet alone the body posture of the shooter, etc., etc. and all this assumes the target is not shooting back

Ok, good points. All those variables would require adjustments. And a target shooting back could surely require some on-the-fly creativity.

No, she is more an animal rights tree hugger type. I enjoy AKs but, like you, I am more of an FN FAL type. To be specific an FN C1A1 8L series produced by Canadian Arsenals Ltd. at Long Branch, Ontario. Two opposing views can exist quite well side by side and have so for going on 25 years.
