So it occurred to me, that all my former fellow squad/platoon or team members who are still into guns have actually some credentials when it comes to being a successful competitor (competitive Biathletes or on a sports shooting/skeet competition squad).
Most of them don't collect semi-autos and just stick to self defense (handguns) and almost exclusively have competition pistols or rifles, if they actually compete and face the music.
So any of you semi-auto 'collectors' here have any verifiable credentials (district, regional, national) in the sports arena (e.g. USA Shooting)?
Looks to me you just go to the range, spray as many as possible bullets across the hillside to decompress and engage in some sort of fantasy on how you'd wipe out any real or imaginary enemy of yours?
I have seen these 'collectors' in action at the range, and have been less than impressed by both their conduct and abilities.
All very personable and "great guys" for sure, with that certain sliver of something not being quite right.
Me? I was done with guns after Military and am getting back into sports archery as legs, lungs and heart slow down. A fantastic and demanding sport.
