If you want to practice for the sea, shoot from the roof rack of a Suburban, while your buddy swerves all over a bumpy field, trying to throw you off.

Anyone up for tryin' this?

I think that thousands of troops with Iraq convoy and road patrol duty would be great at this kind of shooting.

Of course, they would be used to belt fed weapons on pintle mounts...

A modern holo-sight would be perfect for this kind of shooting, with a semi auto rifle.

And as the story showed, inside of 100 yards, a shotgun would be terrific.

Two sailboats close by are a good tactic, to provide supporting fire to each other, and allow each boat to concentrate on defending only one side.

Humblegunner says that's a common everyday event when eeeeek's the designated driver on the trip home from deer camp ! Travis is of course dead on as to accuracy from a boat in open ocean . When a knowledgeable shooter remembers how much breath control effects accuracy .....they understand the rolling and rocking of the vessel or vehicle

We used to train to shoot from moving vehicles with our sidearms while driving. The key was to lock the handgun up across yer chest and shoot and watch your hits vs any form of aiming using the sights as the vehicle movements and bumps etc and the other vehicle agressing moving made any "MOA" accuracy moot.....

Tough situation for those with training and sea legs . Lucky hits are the only option for the rest of us landlubbers......

But then that new geostablized eeeek'athopian exothermic electric hocky puck like rail gun that eeeeek's been building at deer camp may be the answer.......one can only hope ! Course he's limited to old D cell batteries , duct tape and beer cans for construction material (See Red Green with a drawl) so a viable prototype is still deer camps away from completion........

It's even better offroad. Folks in WV do that all the time until the game warden catches them.
