all quality unlike your foul mouthed poorly intentioned self

you were in excellent form in that self promotion piece , possible role for you in a Dolf Ludgren movie -pays 10 bucks a day

the British army

Ok, I read some of the blah blah and gave up as it just got to thick in there, but here's what I can tell you....

I've had a couple or three army types out on the rabbits including a sniper, they didn't fair so well. I would expect the target boys to be no better off the bat. Simple reason is it's strange to them, something they haven't done before, now give them a month or two and I'm sure they would sort it but a strange environment fucks anybody for so long then they tune into it.

Tomorrow I'll ask headcase how the army-comp shooters did at the big shoot around Tekapo.

This subject is like comparing apples to dog shit. The only true thing that can be said is they are different from one another.

rushy the subject was only ever comparing shooting skill nothing more so the comparison is fair and reasonable .

The test is comparing shooting skills on a range, target shooters home.

Lets compare them on the battelfeild now..

I think the media and Hollywood have constantly exaggerated sniper shooting skills far beyond a practical reality . When you hear a media coverage it usually in involves one mile shooting the nuts off a fly -its unfortunate they do that

i know a couple of army snipers turned upto the gunslinger comp a few years back and didn't impress according to a friend competing there but the reality is as the original post alludes to --if you dont shoot alot those that do will probably beat you, And yes a strange environment certainly test you as i found out in the hills shooting the gunslinger -arrived with visions of Granger and left a humbled man

I think you will find it was an off the cuff entry with a pair who hadn't ranged in with that ammo and rifle.
Intention being to interact/socialise with the civilian community, not seriously compete, or leave a don't fuck with us impression.
So I've been told.
7.62 and visual drop/wind estimation/compensation isn't very competitive when used against 338, with PDA etc at those sorts of ranges.
Funny how intentions can back fire aye El B.
I'm with the majority of other replies, your a douche.
I usually trawl here and read interesting shit which has taught me a shit load.
Your the exception

what gunslinger was that elb?
