is that your sun shade or are you just happy to see me big boy?

I think it's safe to say that every last one of us on INGO could outshoot those clowns on our worst days.




Oh, wait... I forgot to put that in purple.... I fixed it!

Can I not participate in that contest?

 

[E5RANGER375]

dont underestimate them. a lot of former military spec ops guys among the ranks.

edit: put into english........ i think INGO would lose as a whole. BIG TIME

id love to give it a try, but ill bet i loose. there is probably a couple on here that could hold there own. alot if not most of long range precision shooting is pratice. most of us have jobs and lack of funds to shoot everyday all day. these folks have none of that to slow down there shooting routine

 

[45calibre]

what rifles are those?

 

[HICKMAN]

I'm pretty sure they'd kick 99.95% of INGO's ass in a shoot-off.

I've met several of them, shot with them and spent some hours on rooftops downtown with them. Good guys and they know what they're doing. They're issued the largest binoculars I've ever seen a man holding, lol.

So I guess its true... size does matter

 

[PatriotPride]

Awesome vid! Thank you!

 

[jbombelli]

I forgot to use purple in my post above... I fixed it! I was joking. I guess everybody thought I was serious!

lol.

Ummmm... I bet that would be 100%.

 

[HICKMAN]

Ummmm... I bet that would be 100%.

I'm guessing out of all of our members, we might have a ninja or two that could compete.

The guy I talked to said they use custom Remington 700s with ammo loaded for them. He also said that the snipers were COVERED by other snipers just in case one went rogue! No muzzle is ever supposed to point in the Messiahs direction. Don't know if it's true but that's what he said.

Yeah, but who watches the covering snipers?

nanci pelosi ..... duh

 

[Litlratt]

I don't have any doubt those guys are very good.

Regarding the sun shade...at that length, I would suggest it serves as a mirage shield. At least mine do.

 

[mertbl]

Even though I don't know the distance or size of target the first guy in the video is shooting at, it was pretty impressive to see him shoulder that rifle and fire that quickly and hear his spotter say hit.
