When we first opened up our ranges to the local police, the day after was "fix the target stands" as they had difficulty keeping it on paper. Luckily the donated range time has improved their skills. |

So far I am one of the keyboard commandos as I have no military or law enforcement experience; however I do practice, and I hope I have the balls to run toward the bullets.

Only one way to find out... all of your perfect target scores go out the window when you are being fired upon. Every target shooter I know tells me they shoot better than all their LEO and former military friends. The true test is how well you shoot when taking fire, not when taking carefully aimed shots at a paper target. No matter what anyone tells you about how they practice with moving and reactive targets, and that they do “realistic” training scenarios, the major issue with training is that in training, one “always know” they are going to have to engage targets so they mentally prepare for it. One time, I was thinking about going to Hawaii and pretty much mentally checked out.. In my mind, I was on a white sand beach and suddenly, without any warning, I am taking fire... That’s when you find out how good you are.

who actually have insights they wish to share. Once the thread gets sidetracked with inane BS the fun stops because people cease to share. |

I’m sure there are a lot of non gun owners in the large cities...most likely many who have never shot a gun. I grew up in farm country in central Alabama...I was 5 when I received my first BB gun (supervised when shooting of course) by seven I was shooting a 22 rifle. My family learned to respect guns from a young age. |

Electronic and cyber warfare as well as air superiority are critical components in any first strike scenario, however, sooner or later, you have to own the real estate. There is no escaping boots on the ground, even in the 21st century.

Truth be told, the G-Men blew them up way back when. The land’s been handed down several generations. They just never got around to picking up the pieces... There may be some copper in there, but it’s hard to tell, allI see are scraps of metal and I was told that’s just what’s left.

While you had your back to the target area, your "friends" set up three "no shoot" target and three "shoot" targets. They would be anywhere from 2 yards to 15 yards out and possibly with overlap. There was a large sheet of cardboard that blocked your view when you turned around. The cardboard was pulled when the timer "beeped" and your friends would be yelling and making other noises while you put two shots into each "shoot" target and NOT shooting at the "no shoot" targets. There was big difference in just the yelling while you shot at night versus daytime target shooting. I can only imagine the adrenaline dump when someone literally has you in their sights. That's when "us rookies" hope the trigger time we have invested keeps our aim true. |

Everyone talking about individuals taking on a sorted army. Think Red Dawn. You have no ****ing clue and join a ragtag group living in the woods. Unless you are in a practicing militia, all this guff is nonsense.
