Agreed. The "DC Sniper" case is NOT an example of long range shooting. If all of the shots were taken within 150 Yds then they were taken at "close range". If my memory serves me correctly Muhammed and Malvo used a bushmaster .223 with a holographic red dot sight with no magnification. A 55-62 Grain 5.56 round has a relatively flat trajectory between 100 and 150 YDS. At that range there is no atmospheric, geographical, or environmental influences on ballistics.JBSF said:What were the ranges the DC sniper was shooting at? 100 yds? I think less in several cases.and the longest out to 150 yds. The point being, this was not really a long range sniper attack.I like my rifles and pistols so don't take this the wrong way. The one time I can remember rifles being worrisome was the DC area sniper. Living just north of his kill zone it was all over the news and really put a lot of worry in the area. A sniper especially who can have a greater range can truly terrorize a state.
I have a bolt action rifle that holds 10 rounds. I can consitently hit targets at 500-600 yds 10/10 times in under 60 sec. I can probably hit targets 6/10 at 1000 yds in the same time. What kinds of restrictions do (collective) you want to put on my rifle to prevent me from killing people at these greater ranges? Shuold we prevent scope magnification above 10x? Because that woult limid me to a MUCH greater extent than < 10 shot mags or $23,000 tracking scopes will.
Who cares...........What the hell is she shooting, a S&W .500 magnum revolver? That's massive recoil she's absorbing.
Looks like a two-handed grip from her shoulders. She's hitting that target, which is good shooting if it's a pistol,
There's lots of things wrong with that picture. Her ass is NOT one of them.this thread needs pics

Obama save me now....
After all, Rosa Parks didn't "need" to sit in the front of the bus.Ban bolt action rifles NOW! Nobody "needs" them, right?
