Why exaggerate your SIZE?

[Darklyte27]

Heres the first time shooting my M&P this past friday.
I always been a rifle shooter, and finally took my pistol out.
standing at 15 yrds on the orange peel target.
Sitting on the yellow target my best group was the 4 shots aimed at the lower left diamond which hit low and in the middle between the two.

Yes I need more pistol trigger time.

I shoot for groups. That's all I do. I can tell you from personal experience that a non-1.5" LB is capable of .75" center-to-center groups at 15 yards from a benchrest with handloads and some factory ammo.

not the point.

respectable groups in my book. if you were shooting at a bad guy at any possible distance in my house you would have got him.

I don't need you to tell me what the point is. I was responding to the claim made in post #3.

hey you're telling us via internet forum

I have shot past a 1000 yrds...and hit what I was aiming at.

I have shot a coyote at over 300 yrds.

I have shot a running coyote..in the head no less...at 50 yrds.

But I can NEVER out shoot anyone on the internet.


Take care,Stan

My deal is this, I'm old enough that I don't feel I have to impress anyone. I've never been one who has had the need to build an ego. I am who I am and I shoot how I shoot. If I outshoot you-good for me, if you outshoot me-good for you.

Exaggerating skill at arms is as old as the firearm itself.

It's not an issue with me unless the exaggerator in question is a professional, and then I think it's more of a need of remedial training than a fatal flaw.

I will admit to a perverse pleasure on my part in taking exaggerators (you can usually tell who they are) to the range and downplaying my skill, and then watching the reaction of my victim.

Unfortunately a co-worker whom I victimized this way always will blow my cover if he learns I'm taking somebody to the range, usually starting out with "don't shoot against him for money!" and then reciting his experience.
