hunting camp b.s. .... prove it.

[sniper7]

I hit my target 100% of the time....as long as I am aiming at the ground


oh, and while bird hunting my dog usually ends up begging me to stop because his jaw gets tired

[Ranger]

anybody else want to put up or shut up?

Wow, quite a rant, who pissed on YOUR sniper rifle?

I, for one, have good days and bad. I've put lead on paper at 150 yards that I didn't think possible. I've put 12 gauge on paper at long distances - albeit that it was a peppering and probably had the velocity of a pebble being thrown into that paper, but it's happened.

Now that you've thrown down the gauntlet, what is YOUR claim my friend? I'll tell you that when I go camping I typically plink targets at 30-60 yards for fun with a pistol and that kind of practice has increased my accuracy. I won't claim that I put it in the center on each shot at 60 yards, but I'll do well enough for my taste.

Am I really the only one who Big Game hunts with a .22 Short? Its all about shot placement. If you guys can't hit an elk in the vitals at 600m with a .22, then you really should be practicing more...


On a serious note, isn't hunting camp always about a bunch of guys seeing who can piss further, talk bigger shit and tell the best story?

i am over on the western slope and almost never get through the tunnel, so it would have to be a good get together for me to cross over the divide. but it would be nice to see how well the people who claim to be so good really are.

I never claim to be the best shot, but I typically know what I'm doing sort of... I can't hit what I'm aiming at. Still want to find some time and someone to take me out longer than 500 and teach me a little.

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.

for those of you that disagree:


Here is a bunny

+1. I don't have any combat training/experience but I believe I'd be able to defend myself with minimal collateral as well. And Byte, brother, you forgot the pancake on the bunnies' head!

i just think it would be fun to shoot with some guys that are genuinely good...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.

I hear ya, I think it's be fun as well. Can't get better if you always play with people worse than you.

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.

AMEN to that! I'd be a free caretaker for you... since I don't have any money, lol.

For instance, weekend focus might range from:

A) Snap caps randomly loaded into your magazines by fellow shooters (emphasis: malfunctions)

B) Special glasses worn throughout the drills (emphasis: instinctive shooting / visual obscurity)

C) Weak hand emphasis

D) Non-standard shooting positions (prone, back, etc.)

That sounds like a lot of fun too.

Something that may tie into this thread, since we are talking about "top shot" etc, is the prevalance to specialize... A lot of people will only fire one thing, a pistol or a rifle... even within those two disciplines people will tend to stick with one caliber... I think that's horrible and they are really cheating themselves from the full experience. When I go out, I like to play with everything....
