as the guy finishes sighting in his rifle at 50 yards, being barely able to keep a couple on the paper using the old "spray and pray" sighting technique...Close enough for this season.
Seen that one a few too many times.sighting in his rifle at 50 yards, being barely able to keep a couple on the paper using the old "spray and pray" sighting technique.
I contend that if the rifle is having excessive headspace hammered into it, it isn’t the lubricant, it’s the receiver. Or the overloading...
Every case I have fired was lubricated with Hornady OneShot, for years, before I even heard of lubricated cases being the cause of hair loss, blown cases, political turmoil, prostate cancer, WallStreet collapse, marital infidelity and psoriasis.
Not to mention it’s the cause of Climate Change.
You forgot the part where it's almost without fail, the afternoon before opening day.Seen that one a few too many times.
20 rounds into a 12" sort-of circle, then measure the three closest to each other and announce, "There'ya go, M-O-A!" and drive off.
Good grief!Me: "It means that if your target is 100 yards away, the target looks like it's only 25 yards away"
Customer: "Does the bullet still have to go the whole 100 yards?"
Nice answer though.The scope does not actually compress space-time."
Had an RSO at a local range ask me if the case behind me on the shelf was mine. As I was the only one shooting in that room (the range has a few rooms with maybe a half dozen ports in each room and theoretically a RSO in each room) yes, it was mine. He told me the same thing (the pointy end of the case was aimed toward the door), all muzzles must be pointed downrange at all times.I had one rifle out on my bench the bagged rifle was on a table behind my position with my other stuff, ammo, binoculars targets &c.
The bag was obviously pointing the muzzle toward the parking lot. When the RO saw this he told me "All muzzles must be pointed downrange" so I turned the bag around.
beenbag,you're technically correct. It's two quick shots with one flash sight picture. I donno, how do you think double taps are accomplished?
The only person I've seen pull the trigger twice before the gun cycled was Jerry Miculek.
Before your time, but Ed McGivern was the original revolver king. He shot revolvers because semi-autos were too slow. It's true he may not have been quite as fast as he thought because he was using rather primitive timing equipment, which he helped pioneer. However, there is a picture of a revolver with the second round being ignited while the bullet from the first round hasn't completely exited the barrel.
2 rounds with one sight picture. Sure, many can do that. But 2 rounds before there's any recoil. I can think of very few. Jerry, Ed and Bob Mundon come to mind.
Yesterday, I watched a "true crime" episode of The Mark of a Killer show where a New York City detective informed us that the cartridge case from the murderer's gun was stamped ".22 Long Rifle", which meant , according to him, that the gun firing it had to be a rifle. True story.
With a handgun I do this by timing the recoil and the amount of down force I put.
The brain subconsciously learns it with practice.
The only person I've seen pull the trigger twice before the gun cycled was Jerry Miculek. That resulted in him complaining because the second shot didn't go off.
I remember thinking that as a young kid. I blame cartoons! A mouthful of bullets and a hammer to the head dont go bang- no matter how hard you try! Dont recall when my understanding began to evolve. Lol.I know of 3 or 4 woman, 1 of them my sister who thought that the ammunition, case and projectile together was what came out of the barrel. Kind of funny when you think about it.
Couple things- your list of excuses for possibly poor handling is quite long and rambling. Hard to follow really. You know what's easier? Just follow rule#1- all guns are always loaded.Thanks for your excellent reading comprehension. I guess people missed the part where the person stood there, watched me clear the gun, remove the (empty) magazine, and place the firearm in a gun case. As far as the Jeff Cooper's Firearm Safety Rule #1, there are a couple out there but in general the quote is "Always assume a firearm is loaded" or "All guns are always loaded". 100% correct. If you come across a firearm or are handed a firearm, you have not cleared you must assume it is loaded, until of course it is verified clear. Maybe I have a death wish, but If I am standing right next to someone I know and trust and observe them correctly clear a firearm, unless I have my doubts, I don't generally recheck. If they then place the firearm in a case, I'm 1000% okay with the situation. Some may call this bad gun safety, but I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
And finally, you are assuming that your shooting buddy trusts you...
