Yeah, that's exactly how many there have been. We had to do our annual security course a few weeks ago and we had to guess how many theyre had been worldwide. First guess was none, then, one or two were remembered so we guessed three. The instructor illuminated us. Most were in South America or Africa, but a substantial number weren't... How many were TERRORISTS Bertie ? Why, do you have a special column in your planespotters logbook for terrorist flights, planespotter? And how many were scheduled passenger services ? Who gives a ****, fjukkwit? Don't you have someone to netkkkop? Bertie |

A competitor was practicing mag changes in his room and letting the dropped mags fall to the bed. He said he had been doing it for about five minutes when BANG. A .38 Super sound fired and went through the wall over his bed, and the next room's bed and the next and the next and the next. If I remember correctly five rooms were involved and the bullet finally lodged in a wall and was recovered. To clarify --- careful (i.e. well trained) shooters practice "dry fire" exercises all the time. A cardinal rule is to always practice in one place (room, range, field, etc), while all ammunition is in another. An even better technique is to use practice mags, colored pink or orange. Dan Mc I couldn't agree more. The story above happened before the first day of competition so he probably had driven all the way from where ever he lived to Quincy with the round in the chamber and didn't know it. This guy wasn't a hack though. He was an experienced either Master or A class shooter. |

Don't take this the wrong way -- but too many of the Pistol competition types are in it for the game first. That's fine and perfectly acceptable use of firearms (there are many!) but the Military/LE approach drills in a "weapon" mindset, which in the long run should result in a greater level of respect. Are there exceptions? Absolutely! But I've found the guys on the range that are prior service types (Army and marines particularly) have a more careful, deliberate approach, while the civilian shooters -- though accomplished -- seem a bit more cavalier.

Dan Mc I shot with Military, Police and civilian shooters during my time shooting USPSA. And you are right there are a lot of gamers out there (and they weren't all civilian) in USPSA that was to be expected because it was a game. We kept score and gave prizes. In fact, the US Army team that was at the last USPSA nationals I attended were great shots and quite the gamesmen as well. And I don't want you to take it the wrong way but a lot of the tactics, methods and hardware that was developed for USPSA has made it into police and even military use. The NRA Police Practical course hadn't changed in years and wasn't very practical even when it was new. The courses of fire at the NRA National Matches which are not much better. There is no way to fully put into play the stresses of an actual shooting situation in a practice environment. Competition is a close as I've seen to being able to even try to mimic it. |

"Dan" wrote in message ... Hard to haul hay in an F-15. Well, I was going to say "Just hitch a trailer to it" but then I thought of the obvious complication, which is that hay doesn't like afterburners. I knew there was a reason it hasn't been done... Maybe if you cover the hay with a wet tarp? I have the trailer, tarp, and hay -- got an F-15 handy? Well, I guess I'm out. By the time I got the F-15 I wouldn't be able to afford the trailer hitch. -c |

Don't think I could handle either the recoil or price on that one either, although I could afford the ammunition. Can you imagine how that thing must kick? Barrett is the name in .50 Caliber bolt actions. The 50 is a supreme long range caliber, with knock-down power out far past its MER. I've never seen or heard of anyone firing this in any other position than prone, with a bi or tripod and recoil pad. Yup, that's the one. I'd like to have one of those too. don't know what I'd do with it other than hang it over the mantel and going back to cooking my own meals doesn't sound all that great.
