Time for a new thread.
What better post when you need a post than hearty congratulations to the U.S. Navy and specifically the Seals for the spectacular rescue of Capt. Phillips yesterday.
I happen to own a rifle which is capable of hitting someone in the left eye at 1000 yards, but I can't even imagine making a shot like that from the deck of a ship at sea. Multply that times three, and you know we've got some serious shooters in our Navy. Add to that the fact that the captain was in imminenet danger and they become three pressure shots.
To update a phrase....three shots...three kills. I saw a t-shirt at the last gun show I went to that said," I am a sniper. You can run, but you'll just die tired." Love it!
A few dead pirates sends a loud message, and you can tell the message hit home by the sound of squealing coming from Somalia....
Let's see if they try THAT again....
God bless....
