Jeeeez.

I always wonder what kind of muscle you need to keep the muzzle from flipping. I know they have compensators but the aim point must rise a little.

I have Rob Latham's "Shooter Ready" video tape. He holds more records than anyone in the world. You can buy it from Dillon Precision.

To: Shooter 2.5; in the Arena
I was talking to Max's dad today, Max Sr. He said that the official time in the plate matches doesn't stop until the last plate falls all the way down. He told me they've calculated the fall time at 0.20-0.25 seconds. This means, worst case, that when Max Jr. shot the 1.80, he drew his weapon (starting from a surrender position with his hands above his head) and fired 5 aimed shots in 1.60 seconds. Incredible!

Also, I found out that Max is indeed still on the USAMU team. He has been in the Army 5+ years, and also is about to graduate college with his bachelor's in criminal justice.
