Hey @papacrusher, great to hear from you. If I get some I'll share it with you. I have some of others shooting but rarely ever get footage of me. I'm too busy shooting! I'll see how todays comes out. IPSC is a great way to keep focused and stay sharp. Unfortunately here our cops are only required to actually shoot a small number of rounds per year, once. (I believe it's 10 rounds or so. Something like that anyway.) It's a little frightening that anti-gun lobbyists want to disarm the people and let the government have all the guns. Most of whom cannot shoot for shit! Anyway, I recommend heading to a local club and checking out the IPSC section. It's great fun, reasonably cost-effective to enter into and teaches people to shoot with an extremely high level of proficiency. I recently shot the State Titles here in South Australia and it was amazing fun. (I won top rookie, which added to the awesomeness). It's an international sport so maybe I'l see you at the Worlds one day? :)
Have a great weekend bro.
Congrats on Top Rookie. We are only required to qualify twice a year here. I'm the department firearms instructor and and just qualifying is definitely not training. Its difficult convincing the administration to spend additional funds on more range time and ammo. Good luck tomorrow!
Haha, you're a cop? No offence intended with my last comment. It's just the reality here. I believe everyone should have some concept of how to handle a gun, especially in this day and age. My rule is that if you live in my house you need to know how to operate and make safe every type of firearm I have: Shotgun, rifle and semi-auto pistol and revolver. My wife is a proficient shooter for this reason.
Thanks for the luck, I'll need it this time around I think. :)
Lol no offense taken at all. Ive been a cop for 20 years and they can be some of the worst shots and most careless gun owners. I agree 100 percent about everyone in the home being proficient. My wife and daughter(when she lived at home) trained with all the weapons in the home.
I've got 3 mates that are cops and only two know how to shoot with any degree of safety, speed and accuracy. Frightening. Still, they're too busy revenue-raising by writing traffic infringements to ever have to shoot. I have another mate who is in the STAR Force (police tactical response unit)He's an ex-British Royal Marine. He knows how to shoot...And lift weights... :)
If I ever come up your way I promise to obey all the laws. I don't want to get papa-crushed! :)
