DM Evaluation

By -

Recently,  the Rifleman came across this  set of Rifle and Pistol quals. Naturally,  this piqued my interest,  so I decided to try them out.  If you've read this blog, you saw where I passed the rifle and pistol portions with flying colors.  But, what about the Designated Marksman qualification? 

The course:
200 yards
Target = 8.5x11" paper.
10 out of 10 shots on paper
2 minute time limit. 


Here goes!
Since the range I visited did not have a proper 200 yard range, I improvised.  The location I shot from was over 250 yards away, so I don't think anyone will mind if I actually performed the task in a more difficult manner. 


The 250+ yard range.  Don't worry - the car was moved before the Rifleman took a shot. 


I also decided to take the evaluation with my Aimpoint.  No magnification.  No scopes.  Just me and my red dot.  The results?


Well under 2 minites...  and all 10 shots on paper!!



But, I do have an ACOG. And it is designed for just this sort of challenge...


22 seconds to put together this group.  From a magazine support.  With no bipod or other assistance. 

So, again, passed with flying colors.

Do not Get your Ham License.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

The Breed of Peace

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
