My last trip to the range disagrees with you.




I'm curious--we have a number of hunters, and more than a few gun enthusiasts here. I'm curious who's actually the best shot with various weapons. (as someone who hasn't fired a gun in the last 15 years, I'm most defiantly not in this.)

Pick a range, and a particular class of weapon, etc.

I'm guessing I'd be near the front with a recurve and a knife, but I'm guessing there's some folks here that would blow me away with firearms.

I'm a pretty good archer within 50-60 yards or so.

I'm pretty decent with handguns between 10 and 20 yards ;)

Especially large caliber semi autos.

It is not me. Full power pistol at 11 yards, I'm lucky to put together 3" groups with no fliers. I want to get that same grouping at 25 yards.

Rifle I haven't shot in forever.

I think Elm and Hannibal are good shots, probably DE

I shoot 2" groups at 15 yards with m9 and 1911s, and am relatively good with AR15s and M1As out to 200 yards (never been to a range with longer distances than that).

The Air Force says I'm an expert with the m9 and m16 but our qualification isn't all that difficult...

I used to be quite a good shot with a rifle, and not really crappy with a pistol, but I haven't shot nearly as much since moving to the city.

Also pretty decent shot when it comes to skeet.

Shuyung, at one point in his life, was able to get 10 rounds within a dime. The best I ever did was to put five on a nickel, with an open-sight rifle.

I only ever really shot open sighted rifles. Our tests were driving a nail by hitting the head, and knocking the heads off of tacks.

Does a Louisville slugger count? Cause if you get within swing distance of me, I'm pretty accurate.

Better at rifle than handgun by far. at 50' I can hit a 4 inch metal ring 3 out of 10 times with my 9mm. I picked up an old mosin nagant I never fired and got a 2 inch group at 100 yards for rifle.

I haven't actually gone to a range and fired my own in a while - I'm more likely helping someone learn these days.

That is pretty good. I had nine M-16 rounds in a group about the size of a quarter. That being said it is kinda hard to tell once you get that many holes together in one little place.

As Timmit said above, I was expert with a 9mm and an M-16. Not that hard to do in the Army. In Panama I impressed my LT. so much with my rifle that they made me the company 'marksman' for riot control ops.

I have a lot of respect for anyone who can shoot well at 20 yards or more with pistol (or any handgun for that matter) with iron sights.

It really depends on the pistol.

This is a good excuse to get to the range and fire some rounds. I'll see about scanning in my results.

Last time I shot pistol I could get a 3" group at 21 yards. Then fell apart at 25 yards. Basic beginner stuff, over ten years ago. Doubt I could even do that well now.

Emer comes to mind as a pretty good shot.

Hey, last time I was in a range, my trueshot aura wasn't up. I accidentally popped it while we were buffing.

Man, I hate when that happens. :lol:

I haven't shot a rifle since high school rifle club :P

I do know I was pretty good at the time, but would need a bit of practice these days.
