Big Guns


This past year I was able to have access to a Tactical Shooting Competition.  This happened the usual way for my personal assignments - through a friend of a friend.




A lot of these guys are ex-secret service, military and other "government operators" and did not fit my preconceived idea of who actually attends these competitions.  Most targets are 800 yards plus.  These guys build custom guns (and some in turn sell there skills via the internet). 



 
 


 

 

The biggest downside to an event like this, is the inability to .shoot from downrange back at your subject.  I'm not sure that any competition would allow you that access but Profile shots, Over the Shoulder, and Back of heads gets tiresome.  I was only able to attend one of the two days which is unfortunate.  If the hosting group is open too it I hope to have my act together for a more comprehensive outing next time.
