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.

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

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

its not what this was about but ok Toby , if the target shooter went to the army and the to war would he be a worse shot

There you go. So isnt this arugment pointless?

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
