[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 41776, member: 11"] If this discussion is about the same guy I think it is (dark hair, dark aviator glasses, deep voice)I would have to say that he seems to know as much about guns as New Yorks congressman Chuck Schumer. Something I have noticed about gun handlers I have also noticed about smokers. The people that have never held these items on a regular basis are apparent to those of us who do. Watching an actor hold a cigarette and the pack of smokes and a lighter all at the same time is comical. Watching this "gun show host" is like watching my 2 year old handle a spoon full of spaghetti. What he says about anything gun related is scripted and he should thank his lucky stars that real shooters watch him at all. As for the gun counter professionals (from either side of the counter) I have also heard the boasting. Just read my signature line. That man I am quoting was 400 lbs if he weighed an ounce and stood about 5'6". He was wheezing so hard from his walk across the store to me that I thought he was going to pass out. He couldnt hold a rifle steady enough for an offhand shot at a docked battleship. When I showed him the drops on a 30-06 at 1k (zeroed @ 500)he told me that the published data in the remington ammo catalog was a flat out lie. How could the drop at 1k be about 30 something feet? After all, he "shot a ton of deer at ranges like that". I almost said "prove it" but as an employee of the sporting goods store that was not my place. [/QUOTE]
