My point is simple to understand, if you think about it. You just don't want to.
Mitch Todd:
--- Quote from: Rob Caprio on July 28, 2018, 03:07:35 AM ---So you can show via supporting evidence that a person who hasn't fired a weapon in years is better off using iron sights?

Sure! You want the study where they used frangible bullets made from compressed fairy dust, or the one where they tested new propellants synthesized from rainbow-flavored unicorn poop? What about the one where the rifle had a stock lovingly crafted from the wood of one of the goalposts you keep trying to move?

Agreed.

If you really think about it, why did he have a misaligned scope on in the first place? The shooting distance was not far. Another researcher has an excellent analysis of scope use and how it makes it very difficult to follow a moving target using one, even harder to use aiming the down at an extreme downward angle.
My take? It was there as all part of the ruse to make it look like Crazy Oswald - supposedly expert shooter - used a [misaligned] scope to get the job done.

I believe I asked that unanswered question back on post #29....
--- Quote ---..if you're going to smuggle in a rifle somewhere and not use the scope then why carry in a scope?
Wouldn't matter if it was a top of the line Bushnell...if it's not sighted in properly, then it's worthless.
