An elderly friend of mine beat up a mugger in Paris a few years ago. He said the scariest part of the event was that he did not know that he remembered how to take down a person that way; it was his Army training from 40 years earlier that just kicked in. Kicked in the muggers teeth, that is.
…and the geezer MAKES those shots. A 5″ group of three head shots at 1000 yards? That’s sub half-minute work! He deserves that Black Hat.
That’s also a NICE rifle. You KNOW the geezer is a sniper when you watch him warm up with the replica A-4 Springfield, and he shoots without closing his sighting eye. THAT takes discipline!

Beware of old guys. They know how to do stuff.

Gawd! I hope I am that steady when I am 84!

That choked me up.

Hell, I would like to see 84 and be as healthy as that guy looked.
Good shooting there, Tex.
