Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Long range whoppers and other shooting BS

There are lots of people that never grasp the following:

If you fire a bullet from a level barrel and at the same time simply drop a bullet (both simultaneously from the exact same height), they will hit the ground at the same time - one just happens to hit way out there and one at your feet.

I was just about to say the same thing.

It exists as a theory.

OK back on track..I once shot a schitt stain off a nats a$$ @ 445 meters with 90 grains of FFF in a TC Hawken .45 caliber. and a Home poured Maxi Ball. ( special recipe) Would've done it twice but that would be showing off!

In 2015 the first gravitational wave was measured using LIGO. Gravity exists as an observable effect, but the physical interpretation depends on the perspective of the observer. Whether an observer interprets gravity as a force or a general relativistic effect doesn’t change the inherent physical property resulting in masses tending to move towards each other in the universe. Of course, space-time being distorted by the presence of mass is explained by the theory of general relativity, which has so far been completely consistent with all our measurements and observations of the universe. So there’s that.

And yet it moves.

Some people state things way beyond man’s pay grade. Edk

See? There is such a thing as a Partridge front sight:

not really shooting related, but it involved rinking prowess. I stopped a car one night for a traffic violation. while conversing with the driver I was getting hints of an intoxicating beverage on his breath between ciggarette drags. I asked him if he had had any alcohol to drink that night and he immediately responde with 23 beers.

I said you've drank 23 beers tonight. he replied, yessir. I said well why don't you step on out here and we will go through a few sobriety tests. again he said no sir, why don;t you just pull your car up next to my door and ill slide myself right into the back of your car. If I try and get out now i'll fall over and not get up again. there was a case of coors light with 23 empty cans in his back seat. I asked him how he knew he had drank 23 and he said well he was fishing in the box and there was only one left when I lit him up

He was honest.

X2. Jericho, Google MACV SOG Across the fence.

It’s one of my favorites. Tilt is one of my grown man hero’s as are the other Recon men. The work they all did was amazing. Even today stuff like that would blow peoples minds.

Just ordered it from Jeff.

Just checked out MACV SOG, very interesting....so the weapons without serial numbers was true?

Not sure about the serials as I wasn’t there with them but they were allowed allowed a lot of liberties with their weapons.

The guy seemed pretty serious when he was telling us this stuff, wasnt bragging and actually looked like he was still in the military, hair cut, demeanor, etc.

I just lost a good friend that was there. Spent time across the fence, MACV SOG member 67-69. Incredible stories.

I can put all my shots into one hole at 1000 yards.

Sorry for the loss of your buddy. Those fellas did amazing work and when you look back at their ages it’s even more incredible. They’re still looked upon highly for their actions in Vietnam.

What if the gun is a magnum shooting a liteweight bullet?
