I have seen people bench shoot off of a metal rest - without sandbags - and wonder how they scratched their nice wooden furniture.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and don't encumber your firearm with mods unless you know what you are doing. various modifications can be attributed to and/or be directly linked to a plethora of failures.

Believing you are so good and experienced that you don’t need to take a class or lessons from a professional instructor, even though you are self-taught and learned your shooting technique from watching cop movies.

extrapolated lackadaisical Booger hook on the trigger has got to be my biggest problem

Amen...

There isn't a recall button on these new fangled plastic rifles.

Pretty soon they will be battery operated. Anyways, nothing can replace ALL of the safeties that any one can dream up if the loose nut behind the piece keeps that skinner on the trigger.

Sometimes some serious shock therapy is needed about just how dangerous they are, not to the enemy, but to their own people.

There is NO such animal as a ACCIDENTAL DISCHARGE! That piece had human help to function!

Good shooters, in my book, are compelled to evaluate what's happened, to expand their "brain housing group" library of what's been observed and learned, and how training applies to safety so that he can apply what he's learned.

Never give up safety for speed - the slow hit is always better then the fast miss!!

Doesn't sabotage require covert intent of causing a failure?
