Extensive target practice means lots of rounds fired for functionality and accuracy testing (reliability ,POI etc.) yet he had a hard time hitting targets (first few shots) at rock throwing distance. something dosent add up.”
The only possible reason for Hodgkinson to do so much practice shooting right before he left his wife and home to travel to the DC area would be to prepare for shooting someone or groups of people.
He shot 4 people. The rest of his potential targets took cover. Everyone at the scene said had it not been for the amazing action of the police they would have been easily picked off one by one by the shooter.
Good point, I agree with you.
Reading your response to me made reconsider that his “extensive” practice may have only included slow firing at a static target at a fixed, known distance.
Like my first football coach drilled into us every day,”Don’t just practice, practice correctly. If you practice poorly, you will perform poorly as well.”
