How much do you think those two young guys practice with those rifles? They don't reload and the ammo for those calibers is expensive. I would guess they shoot less than a box of shells each year.
Precisely, and I'll bet my next paycheck that their "practice" is limited to sitting down and shooting from the bench.... What we need is more guys like Sam O. who take their rifles to the hill and shoot rocks and gophs etc. year round. And yeah...you did date yourself with that 8mm mag But, I guess I dated myself knowing what you were talking about! Ingwe
I'm one of the wierdest guys that frequent my home range. While I do shoot from the bench just to see if I'm still where I need to be, I often do some pretty strange things, usually when it's not so crowded. I like to sprint 50-75 yards up to the bench, pick up my rifle and fire 3 quick shots offhand @ 100-200 yards, trying my best to be accurate when slightly fatigued. If I can hit a pie plate sized target I'm pleased. I've found this helps me as much as shooting off a bipod, etc. I've sure gotten some strange looks over the years.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
