10 Commandments of a Marksman

 The Ten Commandments of the Marksman


  1. Thou shalt treat every firearm as though it be loaded, yea, even if thou knowest it not to be so.
    For the way of the careless is destruction, and the end thereof bringeth sorrow.

  2. Thou shalt ever keep the muzzle pointed in a direction that is safe, wherein no harm may come to thy brother, nor thy beast, nor thy dwelling.
    Lest thy hand bring forth an unintended wounding.

  3. Thou shalt not place thy finger upon the trigger, save when thine heart is fixed and thy aim made ready to fire.
    For the idle finger causeth mischief, but the wise waiteth for the appointed time.

  4. Thou shalt know thy target, and consider well what lieth beyond; for the bullet goeth not where thou desirest, but where thou sendest it.
    Therefore, be thou diligent, that innocent blood be not spilt.

  5. Thou shalt take hold of thy firearm with a sure and proper grip, firm yet not strained, that it move not at the moment of truth.
    For as the craftsman holdeth his tool, so must the marksman hold his weapon.

  6. Thou shalt stand in the stance of readiness, feet planted sure, that thy body sway not in uncertainty.
    Even as a house built upon the rock withstandeth the storm, so is the sure stance of the skilled.

  7. Thou shalt align thine sights rightly, front and rear as one, that thy projectile err not from the path.
    For crooked aim is as a deceitful scale, bringing forth error.

  8. Thou shalt behold the sight picture with clarity and purpose, that thy vision guide thy hand with righteousness.
    Let thine eye be single, and thy shot shall be true.

  9. Thou shalt breathe not in the moment of firing, but shalt hold thy breath in stillness, that thy body betray thee not.
    For even the wind moveth the leaf, and the breath moveth the barrel.

  10. Thou shalt not jerk the trigger in haste, but shalt squeeze it gently and with resolve.
    As one presseth the seal upon the scroll, so shalt thou release thy shot with grace.

Go ye forth, then, in discipline and honor, and let thy shooting be ever safe, precise, and just.

This Will Trigger The Weak

Seen on Social Media: Your Wife Is Your First Daughter—Treat Her Like a Baby, Or She’ll Break Your Home Let’s scatter the woke table: Your wife is not your equal. She’s not your therapist. And she’s definitely not your homeboy. She’s your first daughter—emotionally, mentally, and psychologically. And the moment you start expecting her to “reason like a man” or “carry half the weight,” you’ve already lost. The modern man is confused. He's told to be vulnerable, yet punished when he shows weakness. Told to be “emotionally available,” yet abandoned when he starts crying like a choirboy. Let’s get this straight: Women were designed to be nurtured. Not negotiated with. Let’s break it down like a real father would. — 1. Every Woman Is a Grown Baby Looking for Emotional Security She’ll talk tough. She’ll claim she’s independent. But when the bills land or the pressure hits? She’s curled up in your arms, needing your shoulder—and your wallet. Why? Because biologically, her system runs on h...

Polar Opposites

My friend, Lefty, had a darn good post a couple of days ago. Let's go into why it was such a good post.  Meeting Your Polar Opposite Polar Opposites For starters, people who cannot see past the surface might notice that Lefty is a self-described introvert. This author is a self-described extrovert. That would be "polar opposite."  Climate Change Next up, Lefty made the post, which has many references to the farce that is the claim of manmade climate change. Not only that, but Lefty's post was on March 12. That date marked 32 years since the Blizzard of '93 hit most of Tennessee. In that blizzard, Chattanooga got 18 inches of snow in 12 hours - I know because I was living there at the time. Were such an event to happen today, the Leftists would be screaming bloody-murder about manmade climate change.  Chemtrails Last part that made Lefty's post so good was he took a swing at the folks on the right who believe in chemtrails. For clarity, my conspiracy-theorist ...

The Problem With Many Modern Women

Seen on X, from Richard Cooper - here, pasted text in case Blogger inexplicably deletes the image as they have done so many times in the past: "In the not so distant past, she was wifey material if she was: A virgin Tattoo free  Had good family  Feminine  Under 25  Religious  Had homemaking skills  Agreeable  Could cook & clean  Wanted his children  Most brides today are none of those things." Here we will give an example of what most modern women are like in italics below Cooper's list of marriageable qualities.  Marriageable qualities vs. Reality: A virgin Been with 100+ men (whatever number they tell you, multiply it by 9, at the least.)  Tattoo free  Many tattoos.  Had good family  Comes from single mother only home where the mother did not allow the father into the children's lives.  Feminine  Feminist Under 25  Over 30, with declining fertility.  Religious  "Spiritual" (meaning wil...
