Tell that to the dead
1 billion percent correct. I noticed that in 1 millisecond. Also the stock weld looks like that of a girl. Strange.
So, if not hunting, pick up a weapon, put it in somebody’s eye socket, and pull the trigger. Got it.
ALL guns are loaded. Never touch the trigger unless you are ready to destroy what is in front of the gun.
no, the media was in target.
Indeed.
Punching a round through a window at 35,000 feet would be bad — even if it were an accident.
&5 years I been around guns not one unloaded one ever killed anyone, and none of mine loaded or otherwise, ever went of by accident. I love those morons on YouTube that constantly show that their weapons are unloaded. Who they going to shoot over the TV Screen?
My first thought as well. Not sure of his cheek weld on the stock either. BTW, he isn't aiming out the window, he is trying to look through the scope and he needs light to do so.
He may be left eye dominant.
True. Personally, I go back and forth (over the years) between right and left eyes. Works great with pistols, not so much with shotguns. Rifles with a scope, not a problem.
Just saying ... people dry fire weapons after checking if the chamber is clear. It would be another thing if it was a video and you could see his finger instantly wrap around the trigger. (WIth that said, I have taught my kids and wife to never allow a photo to be taken with their finger on the trigger. I simply don't allow photos of me to be taken.)
Great observation.
Did you also notice he’s on board AF1 and not about to shoot, or did you just miss that?
I write right handed, throw left handed and when I realized I was left eye dominant a couple of years ago and started shooting left handed, my marksmanship improved nicely. Much more so with a rifle than a handgun.
Right handed and left eye dominant. Shooting left handed works.
Your comments are non-sequiturs.
“I write right handed, throw left handed and when I realized I was left eye dominant a couple of years ago and started shooting left handed, my marksmanship improved nicely. Much more so with a rifle than a handgun.”
My wife is also cross dominant; left handed but right eyed. Realizing this when she first started shooting with me, I taught her to shoot right handed. And, she’ turned into an excellent shot. I think there’s a higher probability for converting a shooter to use their off-hand than their weak-eye. I seen people try eye patches and such but they don’t seem to help much.
You clearly don’t know the definition of that term.
What!? Playing with guns is bad unless you’re on a plane?
