Uselss skills/qualifications! (#2) [NOT SUPER SERIOUS]

I used trig just yesterday to calculate the minutes of angle I was within when shooting at targets. 2 Moa. That's the size of a horsefly, at 50 feet. I need to improve.

I can stick out my tongue and touch my nose. That's a pretty useless ability.

That' s about 3/8 inch group at 50 ft. Damned decent for a rifle offhand --- world class - better than current records offhand with a handgun.

That would be all exes on shooting NRA slowfire Bullseye...

When Gordon Liddy (famed government employee and psychopath) was with the FBI, he claimed that at 50 feet, he could fire five rounds, reload, and fire five more, placing all 10 shots in an area he could cover with the palm of his hand, in just under six seconds.  With a revolver.

This is an offshoot from Succubus other nice thread.

We all have them! Time to fess up!

I can't remember the last time I used trigonometry or a protractor in any real world situation.
Pretty sure I didn't need to master stoichiometry in chemistry just to make a nice well balanced cup of fucking coffee! lol.
Home economics? Fuck that! Marry someone who can cook! lol! Hey, it worked well for your parents, didn't it? Why change.

The secret is to bluff your way into a job. You like playing computer games? Good, Become an IT geek. I did that for 15 years and no one caught on! Didn't Confucius say "if you can't dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with bullshit"
A lesson well taught. Look at Beccs? Do you really think she knows what the hell she's doing? She's just got a fetish for cutting people up. I think she used to be a butcher's apprentice or something...

Apprentice??

Jerry Miculek can do it in 2.9 seconds. With 12.

See Youtube.

The dude is legendary.

You might find them on Soyuz space capsule.

The Soviets loved tubes over transistors in space. While a bit of a heat problem and using more power - the radiation doesn' t degrade them like transistors.

I'm shooting at A32 targets. The 10 ring is 3/8" diameter. I'm shooting bench rest only. Marksmanship requirements for offhand are much less stringent, of course, but I'm not doing the other disciplines. I've discovered a couple of things that may help increase accuracy, which I'll work on at the next range visit. Distinguished Expert for small bore (.22 rim fire) rifle is 10 complete targets (each have 5 bulls and 1 bull used only for sighting) with a minimum score of 191/200. I'm currently shooting 196+/200 so I just need to have someone witness it. Here are some sample targets from last Sunday afternoon. This is using CCI SV round nose lead slugs. This is the best I've found so far. It's good enough to get me here without buying a match grade barrel and ammo.

I get 4" groups at 25 feet with a Weaver stance and a lot slower shooting, but I'm not the FBI by any stretch. That's with a Smith & Wesson .357 Highway Patrolman model with a six inch barrel. If I shot it more often, I could probably improve, but at my age I'm not going to try for that kind of speed.

I had a 686 and quite liked it - but a few years back I went on a downsizing jag - and got rid of it. My Ruger GP100 in .357 shoots just as good if not better. I' ve been carrying it the last couple years deer hunting but the opportunity to use it hasn' t occured.

I shoot about the same groups - using hand cast 158g lead round nose on Unique powder. Wonderful, cheap, painless shooting.
