Sometimes if I'm really bored I will hang out at the gun counter at Sportsman's Warehouse, or other box store gun counters.... Sometimes it is hard to act nonchalant at the counter when the BS gets really deep, but it can be extremely entertaining...

One day, they guy behind the counter was trying hard to sell an AR15 223 to what I assumed was a noob.... "the one I have just like this will shoot 1" at 700 yards off hand".... and "it's enough to take down an elk at least that far"..... etc..... it went on like this for at least 15-20 minutes but I couldn't take any more without bursting out laughing so I found other places to be. Or the time one of the counter guys was telling a guy his 308 or something similar was so flat shooting he could aim dead on out to 600 yards and kill an elk/deer/???? Apparently, the laws of physics don't apply to some of these new rifles....

The guys at the fishing counters are even better- but that is a conversation for another forum....

Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.
