When you are shooting at a deer or a paper target, closer is better (until the deer runs away). I have never been in that situation, but I suppose that when you are shooting at someone who might shoot back, hitting him at long range is a good thing.

so you can tell a threat at 100 yards? gee, with that in mind lots of people would be dead or shot for no reason.

as a side note, anyone out there know a good civillian version of the MP5?

Maybe we should have a rifle range day some time? I haven't fired a rifle in years. Might be fun.

I'd be up for that, I just went out today with my dad as a matter of fact, It had been about 2 years since I shot. We had fun sighting in our 22's

Cheep to shoot and hours of fun. I got that baby dialed in nice for 100 yards. Had a nice 4" grouping. Its a Marlin with a long stainless steel barrel and a adjustable 3x -9x scope, its a rather nice 22 my dad picked up a few years ago at a garage sale for $110. Looks brand new. My dad had one of his friend file down the trigger for lighter/smoother action. But like I said don't make fun of my 22 or i'll be inclined to pull out my big gun and scare you all away

HK 94 is the civilian MP5 - had one for years. Absolutely sweet gun.

Wouldn't that be Kelvin?

Sounds like an ambiguously gay superhero tandem: "Watchman and Rolexboy".

That being said, both Watchman and Rolexboy seem to have much hotter wives/gfs than most people I know. Maybe there is something to this Rolex business.
