kend Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 ...when shooting for the camera, if they're gonna completely close their eyes and flinch like that when they shoot they should let somebody else do it. Or get the shot from a different angle so you can't see it, geeez...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Or they should wear dark glasses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Maybe a mask, cuz I have noticed those dark glasses don't cover enough to hide the huge facial tick that accompanies their flinch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jadeslade Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I hate it, too. Maybe Jesse could get her own show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpops Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) +1 There is a new show now, I don't recall the name, but the host was describing USPSA guns recently. He swept the camera man a bazillion times! Even my 7 year old pointed out his safety violations. Edited January 14, 2010 by Bigpops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiserb Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 By far the biggest violator for *blinking* are the people on American Rifleman. Every single gun test the person shooting is blinking on each shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunracer38 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I would like to see the target after he shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRe Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Do you suppose they can achieve "acceptable combat accuracy" that way??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Lord Gomer Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I always blink when I yell, "Contact!" Is there some tacticool apparell that will prevent that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBfarms Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 It makes me feel like less of a little girl about my flinch when I see them do that on TV. But seriously it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sperman Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 +1There is a new show now, I don't recall the name, but the host was describing USPSA guns recently. He swept the camera man a bazillion times! Even my 7 year old pointed out his safety violations. I think that was "Handguns." I noticed the same things.

barney88pdc Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 (edited) Close their eyes or .... Slap the trigger with rifles, put their bugger hook past the first joint on the trigger on a long range bolt weapon, have a horrible stance or shooting position. Barely can run the bolt on a bolt action or seat a mag on a semiauto platform. Another favorite is them pushing new reticles such as a Mildot without so much as a clue on how to range estimate with it.

John Heiter Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 "Ole Sarge" R Lee is another one I've noticed who shoots both eyes closed tactical ninja style. Makes me glad no one films my facial expressions in slow mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam B Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 By far the biggest violator for *blinking* are the people on American Rifleman. Every single gun test the person shooting is blinking on each shot. no doubt, the last episode I watched the host shot a 338 lapua and he blinked, grimaced and flinched all at once. I was amazed that with that position that he didn't have more time behind a gun and better shooting habits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasOPM Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I was watching a gun show host shooting FAL's today. I am literally yelling at the TV. "Lean into it dammit... bend at the waist." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I was watching a gun show host shooting FAL's today. I am literally yelling at the TV. "Lean into it dammit... bend at the waist." I am with you there. I have this desperate urge to slap the TV upside the head. But being a slimline TV I might hurt my shooting hand. My ten year old daughter that, until last year, would not touch anything bigger than a BB gun is better than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Maybe if someone told them to put on some shooting glasses the might keep those eye's open !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
