I can cover a group of five shots at 50 feet with a dime and leave change. That's shooting in the bench rest position. I expect to improve with the newer equipment. I haven't shot my gun in nearly 2 years because of the exorbitant cost of ammunition.
When I was 11, I could shoot a .22 within a dime at 20 yards in prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions (standing didn't always do that well). Closed sights, no bag. You use your own body to rest the elbows, and learn to time the squeeze for when any swaying goes right across the center. There were some days when I had no shakes. I could just hold right on the target and squeeze. That was very rare.
I grew up at a range. My dad was the range officer. I stopped around age 11 and have only shot a couple of times since.

So Jared Kushner Get $2 Billion From the Saudis. No big deal, I guess
Quote:Jared Kushner’s new private equity firm got $2 billion from Saudi Arabia because maybe that’s how you can cash in when your investing experience is slender but your father-in-law may wind up back in the White House. It’s also possible that you can get billions for a firm with no track record because the White House did favors for the Saudis when your father-in-law still occupied the Oval Office.
It’s probably a mix of both. Regardless, it’s certainly not a reflection of Kushner’s investing prowess. Before entering the White House as an adviser to former President Donald Trump, Kushner, 41, inherited wealth and his first adult job from his father, then botched his biggest gambit: vastly overpaying for a Fifth Avenue skyscraper soon before financial and real estate markets tanked.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Isn't wearing eye protection, and doesn't appear to be wearing hearing protection. Just because he's shooting suppressed doesn't mean everyone else is.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Look closely.
He is not going to shoot.
He is just getting set up.

See the red bit sticking out in front of the optics?
That is a barrel block.
It prevents you from being able to chamber a round and shows those around you that you are handling a safe weapon.
Range courtesy don' tcha know...

Somebody doing precision shooting.
I do ALL my hunting off a tripod. (A Bogan heavy camera tripod with a adjustable swivel rest).

If you want to wound animals and spend more time looking for bloodtrails than hunting - be a REAL man and do all your shooting offhand.
I prefer "DRT".
I'm limited in my firearms experience (I've only shot 9mm) but it looks so silly to me. A rifle I can see being on a tripod, but a handgun? And he's clearly at a range, not hunting, so I feel like we're correct in dunking on him.

Yup. Your limited experience is showing.
In many states it is legal to.hunt with a handgun AND a silencer. ( it is here).
You practice as you will hunt.
....
He could also be.doing a new install on either the optics or the can. In both cases you would want to check for grouping and point of aim.
The most logical, scientific and economical way to do so - is off a rest or tripod.
....
You just watch too many " manly movies".

Never dog on a shooter that correctly realizes a fixed mount is essential to victory. They may be wrong about alot of things...but they've got that shit absolutely correct. I go out with my shooter buddies all the time, and they never fail to ask me...even though I don't shoot...to calculate the windage. I do that math and then laugh at that math on account of how I have lots of dogs. I don't need to know how to fire ridge to ridge..(i do know it, but i don't need to) because I just let the hounds loose. Bark bark bark....murder....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I almost missed it too... It should be - as most are - flourescent orange.
The only reason I caught it was I noticed the slide back slightly......

I have a really mean thought regarding which way the gun is pointing, but I'll keep it to myself.
