    I've seen people say things that can be misconstrued towards what he is talking about. However, it is usually a hit and run poster talking about how they can hit their targets with their carry gun in CCW threads.

    Plus there was a lot of criticism about Top Shot, but just because you criticize someone/thing, doesn't mean that you necessarily think you would have done a better job yourself, or that they/it didn't earn that criticism.

    I do always get irritated when I see people posting about making a ragged hole with their hand gun when I have trouble shooting inside the 6 ring.

    As I have not had the requirement to fire my carry weapon in a kill or die scenario, I cannot honestly say what I would or would not hit under what lighting, environment, situation. it Might be Overcast, no lighting in pouring Rain...
    I would like to think that I have had sufficient training in combat arms to defend myself in a manner that would not put innocents at undue risk.

    i didnt start this thread to piss anyone off. i started this thread because camp "wisdom" is rampant everywhere, and i thought it would be fun to see who among us is really good. i know i am a good shot, but i know i have a long way to go. like i told the casting director for top shot, i am not olympic caliber in any discipline, but i can hold my own in all.
    i have seen it written over time about the accomplishments somehave made. sometimes it is "i can shoot one hole groups with it all day long", that is an impressive claim, i just wonder how many actually do it. i have shot my share of one hole groups, but i would be liar if i said i did it everytime i go to the range. usually the boasts of superior marksmanship are related to hunting. i cringe when i hear someone say that they will take a shot at a deer out to 450, or even longer. there are no doubt some among us that can do that shot ethically, but the vast majority cant. i have taken animals out to almost 1300yds, but i wont take the shot without alot of practice to confirm that i really can reliably make the shot. the year i shot an antelope at 1282yds with a 50 bmg, i fired over 700rnds practicing at ranges from 600 to 1600 yds. i also had a spotter to verify misses or hits.
    i just think it would be fun to shoot with some guys that are genuinely good. most of the people i shoot with are not great shots, and they know it.

    this is not a challenge to everyone to try and beat me, it is simply an invitation to get together with fellow shooters and quantify shooting skill.

    if I had the dough I'd love to buy some land and build a range that recreates the challenges from top shot and run it as a disneyland for gun nuts.
