At what distance do you stop being a threat?

Your impression does not match mine, nor evidently some if not all the staff.

Yup

@M118LR
We, that means us hoi polloi, have noted that you don't play well with others as you brag in your avatar. Repeating your qualifications and waving your resume like a guidon simply raises doubts of the truth.

Yep, off topic, and I might suggest that a mod get into this thread and reduce the uselessness.

 

Very hard not to comment...

I don't use scopes (like, 10 tens in my life shot a gun with one), and I am finding this all VERY useful information. But, then, I am the target market. Haha.

 

Sorry if I wasted Y'all's time. I won't do it again. Carry on.

On the job training has a very harsh pass or fail criteria. As of today I haven't failed, hope Y'all are the ones that pull the last un-expended round from my chamber. Carry it as a memento HOGS TOOTH on Y'all's necklace. Perhaps some folks might need to Google this.

 

Nice pout.

 

For my part i apologize for pissing in the punch bowl. Prior to my arrival and subsequent posts, there is and was quite a lot of very useful information and conversation, especially for the novice or neophyte.

Mods, please feel free to strike whatever of mine needs to be stricken from the record, up to and including my entire involvement in this thread. No holds barred.

I will now recuse myself from any further interaction herein.

 

Please don't strike your opinions, I only asked that you read the entirety prior to passing a levy upon my work.
Should we get into a pissing match after that, I'm sure that those following the thread will nuke up some popcorn and take sides with whoever presents the best argument. My Moniker states that I don't play well with others, don't think for a second that I can't survive the slings and arrows of others. I actually embrace the opinions contrary to mine. There is no better debate than those that have done slicing apart others that have been,to feed the thoughts of those that didn't have the opportunity to figure out what they would do when the time came to be there. JMHO.

 

Seriously, though. I have a lot of new questions to poke at my suppliers because of this thread. Anything else I should know on the hardware end?

 

Seriously, if I have offended any others with my opinions. Just preclude this with they are just my opinions. Just remember that I am not here to challenge your opinions, and if I beat around the bush several times to voice my opinions, it's just my way of disagreeing with your opinions. I'm never going to say that you are wrong, I'll just reiterate the ways I"ve proven that have worked for me. YMMV.

 

This ^^^ I like to read what works for some, what didn't work for others. I am a novice so reading people opinions, successes and failures is info stored. Sometimes in other areas I get tunnel vision and it takes a differing opinion for me to see an area I over looked. Carry on.

 

You cannot dismiss something because someone does not like it, that is not what I was saying. I like to gather thoughts and opinions, personal experiences and go from there.

 

Honestly if my view is the one in the OP and you are the Hadji after my opening shot?
If you press the attack you're the next one to meet the 72 Virginians..
If you run you will be winded when the shot transports you to the 72 Virginians
If you are a well disciplined Hadji and remain where you are? You'll be the last of your group to meet the 72 Virginians..

I don't mean to sound like a keyboard commando, I truly don't.
As a shooter you either have "it" or you don't. I suck at math. But I can figure firing solutions for my rifles in my head pretty quickly. I can judge yardage pretty accurately as well as wind. Again, I don't know why I can, I just do it. Maybe it has something to do with years of shooting at random trees, rocks and Prairie Dogs all the time as a kid. I honestly don't know, other than it is a gift.

At the ranges discussed? That's a chip shot for a shooter. Hell I've taken deer in Colorado in excess of 370 yrds using a Garand with stock sights. Yeah I know deer don't shoot back. In that pic, if you are the one to initiate the action you have all the advantage. The biggest thing that limits me down here is the lack of clear lanes of fire. There isn't anywhere around here that has IMO enough room for me to really work out my larger calibre rifles. I shoot them, but it ain't like back home.

 

Then the Virginians will finish you off. (Just teasing ---)

 

Sounds like a solid prerequisite before heading out to test theory hands on. Practice is where you hone the skills required for better marksmanship.

 

Since I've bored all the other members, can I count on you to start an educational thread on how to improve ones marksmanship skills 101 level? It can't be that difficult. It is only for the Novice that you type......................

 

Of course not. You, of all members, know that the basics need hands on. Some things just cannot be book learned. Once certain basics are on board, improvements can be made readily by reference to some written forms, including certain dot mil training manuals. Or, get a copy of Casada. Then comes practice and more practice. BYKT. (Even then a competent coach will be more than a bit useful.)

 

It is easy to scream foul, and be a Nay Sayer. Since I have bored you, I only think that it is fitting to challenge you to post a tutorial thread on the simplest of premises, marksmanship 101. I'll probably get a slap on the hand, but you didn't have a problem voicing your opinion when it was others that that put thier dinky under the golf shoes. So if I'm allowed? Times come to put up or ........
Make it happen O wise one. JMHO. Bet there is a novice or two waiting to hear from you one to one. Once again, JMHO.

 

Well, we are here, and learning from people willing to talk is the "best thing" when you are bereft of the "real thing".
