10 cm is about 3.5 inches if I remember right.
10 meters is barely 30 feet
I did not go through a qualify round, but was informed that I do by the owner that runs the particular range for local cops. I am a member there. He reports that our cops are doing less than an hour a week at the range.... some one hour a YEAR... egads.
WTH is up with that?
These guys are the ones we are asking to protect us, my wife, children and grandchildren??? They are buried with politically correct paperwork and so on.
Granted, I did a lot closer to an hour a day for months on end. I did not start with 3-4 inch groups... It took me 600 rounds at least...
Yes, I LOVE to shoot.
I have a problem with the left hand skills though..
They are not being disenfranchised. Their vote entitles them to a slate of delegates who will vote for Trump on the first ballot at the convention. Nothing more. Why is it Cruz' fault these people slept through High School civics?
I suppose that's why Trump speaks at a 4th grade level. And as a result if the people of AZ mistakenly believe that they were robbed of their vote and consequently throw a temper tantrum resulting in a Hillary or Bernie win then shame on them for being ignorant.
This is why Trump says he loves the poorly educated.

Do you think it’s really going to play that way with the average joe? People believe that voting matters and they won’t accept the results as being legitimate otherwise.
Heh, I was a combat engineer, but I still had to “qualify” on rifle for my badge to get into airborne at fr. benning.
I was such a bad shot (I’m from Chicago, I had never fired a rifle in my life), my e6 worked with me for weeks to qualify because I was a licensed heavy equipment operator.
I swear he was ready to shoot ME. I didn’t know the value, and in ‘65 I swore I din’t need a rifle. by ‘67 I had one over my shoulder at all times (our perimeters were not so point”) I was scared for my life and I had wished I knew better how to shoot!
I took a gun class again in the 80’s, but still I was horrible shot. I wish I was the Dirty Harry type, lol, I just can’t shoot the broad side of a barn.
an hour a day keeps the bad guys at bay...
No I do not think that will fly with the average joe. But I'm not going to play make believe and act like that is a virtue.
They’re not “classmates” at Harvard. That implies they attended at the same time. They did not.

Right. btw... Has anyone seen any news items about any classmate that remembers Obama as being a student at any of his claimed schools, other than the private high school in Hawaii?
No, and you never will.
How do you think Abraham Lincoln won the Republican nomination and then the general election to become president? He was not even close to being the front-runner going into the convention. William H. Seward was. Read up on the 1860 Republican convention.
Cruz couldn’t even get about 43% in his home state of Texas
*****************************************
Open primaries allow the crossover votes, so Trump picked up Dems voting against Cruz.
You’ll also see many of us go 3rd party if DJT goes 3rd party.
***************************
And just how will a 3rd party candidate get onto the ballots in most States? .....Ridiculous idea.
Such maneuvering pretty much takes the voters out of the picture - I guess that’s a “good” thing this time around.
No. Cruz has shown himself to BE the “GOPe” candidate they are trying to foist on us. He had his chance to distance himself from these clowns.
He should be ashamed. Truly tarnished (I’d say destroyed) a solid image as of 2015.
Don’t worry about it Trump will have a deal in place with somebody to make sure he has 1237 when he walks in the front door of the convention or he will outright win 1237. Either way he’s not dumb enough to walk into a floor fight.
Those "rules" were only put in place last year. They stink. The people should vote. Even Colorado Democrats get to do that. Disgusting.
Cruz does very well in elections where the voters are prevented from voting
Ted Cruz continues to rack up delegates in Colorado with another clean sweep today, bringing his total in the state to 18...
And all without a SINGLE Colorado voter getting to choose. This is tyranny, not democracy. The GOPe is simply handing delegates to their golden boy Raphael.
Votes don’t matter to GOPe, it is all about the crooked rules that were put into place to ensure GOPe candidate wins.
