Nik Habicht Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I just prefer my long range rigs have a butt stock on them. Pistols are for fighting my way back to my rifle. Had to do a lot of that in your lifetime? And on another note -- so you'd pass by a perfectly good long-range handgun to get to something with a buttstock? Must mean the Indian's only capable with some arrows.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted March 14, 2010 Author Share Posted March 14, 2010 This one time, in band camp... there were 3 moderators fishing in the same boat, but the moon was full and the fish just weren't biting. I'll let you guys carry this conversation on your own. I'm sure you're experienced enough in long range shooting and ballistics you don't need my input. Though, if you want to learn more, Brian Litz has authored an exceptional book called "Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting". Check it out, it's a good read.

And so you know Nik, I have done some contract work, and have been asked to do more. Start shooting a Hipoint 9mm in competition and come back and tell me what you think Mr Indian. You guys have fun with it, I'm out. Edited March 14, 2010 by kgunz11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singlestack Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Nope, not at all. I just prefer my long range rigs have a butt stock on them. Pistols are for fighting my way back to my rifle. What if your rifle is 1000 yards away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if your rifle is 1000 yards away? Just find someone close by with a rifle and take theirs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it interesting that Brian's soul focus in the book is the actual ballistics of the round, never whether it was fired from a weapon with a buttstock or not.

You guys have fun with it, I'm out. USPSA is training? Or is it practice? And no.....they are not the same. And what kind of contracting are you sought to do? Training is a matter of how you look at it or use it. Practice is how I repeat a known skill or a skill I am trying to do better. Training is what I do under pressure/stress conditions which I can induce in a match. Would I enter a house like I do in USPSA? No, but it does help me shoot accurately faster, thus it is training for ME. YMMV Most recently I was asked to go to Haiti. The pay is pretty good at $500 per day, but I'd rather not be away from my wife for months at the time again in a volatile situation where I am issued a weapon and given orders to use it if the circumstances arise. In respect of the forum owner and his guidelines, I'll not discuss that any further here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokshwn Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 You are getting a raw deal .... I was going to Haiti for $1200 a day. But all I would have been issued is a headlamp and the need would have most definitely arisen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
