130 yard shots don’t just happen

Posted on 07/13/2024 7:43:55 PM PDT by 7thOF7th

The assassin who tried to kill POTUS DJT had skills as evidenced by the grouping of shots he fired from 130 yards or more with an AR. Where did he get these skills and who helped prepare him for this?

Bingo. He was set up by the deep state

The distance is absurdly close. My 22LR competitions are typically 100 or 200 yards. My kids did these as young as 8 years old. And larger calibers... 9mm at 200 yards (such as a Ruger PC9) works but it is ballistic. I've shot my AR-15 out to 800 and hit steel plate. Almost any competent shooter can make these shorter shots.

The scandal is that the Secret Service allowed any vantage point, especially so close, to be left unsecured.

130 yards isn’t much. I was picking off targets at 150 in boot camp at 18years old having never shot a gun prior to that.

I am not a great shot but placing a shot within 6 inches from 130 to 200 yards with a rifle is within my abilities, and probably could get close to that without a scope using my ,223 mini-14. Indeed, I would wager that the shooter was in experienced and pulled his shot to the left because he jerked the trigger. A novice mistake.

I’ve BEEN concerned about his safety.

He needs to learn skydiving. His plane will mysteriously malfunction.

He needs someone around him with a Geiger counter. They will try to introduce radiologicals.

He needs a food taster. Poisoning is likely.

> Someone needs an education. 130 yards is nothing. <

Some preliminary reports (which well might change) say the shooter used a 22 LR rifle. If that’s actually the case, then 130 yards is something. And it points to an amateur, at least to me.

Counter snipers had eyes on him BEFORE he got off the eight shots. CTH has video.

” I’ve shot deer at 200 yards, Free standing with a 30-30.”

Why would you hunt with a 30-30. I have one and I love it but when I hunt, I use a 308.

No kidding, 130 yards with a rifle is close range, especially for a big man target.

Agree. The US came within a tiny fraction of that today.

I wonder how many drunks in bars tonight are going to laugh about how they almost got their hated Trump out.

Sort of like Arabs in 2001 giggling to each other in the US about “911 gave the Americans a bloody nose they deserved.”

From what I recall you can site an AR in at 50 yards and it’s accurate out to 300 because the 5.56 nato shoots flat.

just read that the sniper that took him out hit him in the forehead with a 448 meter shot......that’s a trained shooter

MTG discussed this weeks ago.

Trump requested beefed-up security by S/S.

Biden’s DHS denied it.

Exactly. Decent AR with with scope and he right ammo and a little range time... 1MOA not that big of a deal.

Ever see the Wahlberg movie Sniper?
He was to make 3 surveys of possible assassination spots, and told Danny Glover that Philly was the best area for it to potentially happen.
I can’t seem to get that out of my head.

Yep, I could easily have made a shot from that range myself. No special training needed.

Sadly, no angel or God’s intervention on the innocent Trump supporter that was murdered. No telling about the person in critical condition.

Yeah, that’s a little more impressive. But considering the gear they’re using, probably not that hard either... I could hit 300 yds without a scope and I’m no expert.
