Visual confusion? Pretty sure I’m all stocked up with that. Retinal processing? Positioning statements in my motor center? I’m not sure I even have a motor center. Holy crap. Listening to Gil Ash via this NSSF video, I get the feeling that breaking 25 out of 25 consistently might require a little more thought than I’ve put into trap shooting so far.
And then I watched his tutorial on hold and focal points. Some of which, against all odds, I’ve managed to divine on my own over the years. Though God knows what other bad habits I’ve ingrained that need ungraining.
But checking out the OSP Shooting School schedule for the upcoming season, I see that they’ll be enlightening shotgunners with skulls full of mush at St. Louis Trap and Skeet in September. What are the odds? That may be time (and money) well spent.
As another poster has already said, give it another generation or three, and abortion will be outlawed. Not only is the science is on the side of the anti-abortion side, but its also a simple numbers game: If you kill your future supporters and voters before they’re born, you’re going to see a shift in demographics against your side.
I also think it is insanely ironic that our nation’s first African American President gave a speech at an organization whose founding principle was the extermination and genocide of African Americans.
Not only is it there founding principle, they are actually succeeding in their eugenic program. Because of the abortion-rates, by 2080 African Americans will probably be endangered in this nation, by 2150, and they’ll be all but replaced by Hispanics.
If an organization is founded on a set of principles that include wiping out a group of people, don’t be surprised if those principles are acted upon by that organization.
For the record: I am anti-abortion personally, but I would vote for a pro-abortion politician in a heartbeat who was an absolutist on the 2nd Amendment.
It was hilarious to see this anti-tank gun in action. The producer edited out almost everything between trigger pull and “explosion” of the targets. The one video where they show the dummy round actually flying it had broken in half and turned sideways after 20 feet.
Luckily I’m wearing my decoder ring today!
In the land of the free there are riflemen who go unrecognized in our commonplace lives. When the time comes to show force, be it defensive or otherwise, they’re pushed to the forefront of our attention as saviors. Once the commotion has settled these honorable people are forgotten once more until the day history repeats itself.
Or something like that…
Nice blog.
I have four of the MN rifles, three Finn M39’s and one $25.00 very well bubbarized, 1937 Tula. One M39 is a 1942 Sako Continuation War veteran, the other two are 1968 No Name’s, which were unissued and like new inside and out. One of the two, has a New England Westinghouse receiver, I am still trying to determine who and where it was accurized, it . The work on it was done very professional, action has been epoxy bedded with pillars and the forestock done like no other I have ever seen. My son-in-law, who is an excellent marksman, has proved this rifle to be of match quality, at 100 yards he can do consistent one hole 3 shot groups with the iron sights using 1983 Russian milsurp ammo.
Of the four, the 1937 Tula is my absolute favorite, it came as a 21” barreled carbine. Receiver internal machine work I would compare to any high end sporter for quality, action is slick as glass and trigger had a light mouse trap spring to eliminate slop and pull, breaks crisp clean at 2.75 pounds. The rifling is superb and bore slugs at .311”. I use mostly hard cast and gas checked boolits in all four NG rifles, but it is like this Tula and cast boolits were especially made for each other. It came with a lyman ramp front sight and is my $25.00 dedicated truck gun.
The work I have done on the Tula consists of, removing rear sight and utilizing the existing 12MM dove tail to install a scout scope and fully adjustable aperture ghost ring back up sight, just in case scope should fail afield. I made up a leather cheek riser piece and installed a hard rubber butt stock extender. All in all, have invested a little time and very little money in a rifle that I really like a great deal.
Hit it on the way up, otherwise plan on a swiff. That sums up my advice.
I’m an 80%-er. I watched that video. Twice. I have a feeling I’ll still be hitting eight out of ten even if I do all the stuff he says.
