[QUOTE="3fingervic, post: 581838, member: 16685"] I am in no way a sniper, but I hunt in what I call "sniper" style. I hunt flat fields with very little cover. I have to use a slug gun because rifles aren't allowed where I hunt. A deer can be as far as 500 yards away, which is too far for the slug, to 25 yards away. So I lay in hedge rows, weeds, or anything that can offer a bit of cover, on my belly from sun up to sun down. I have a long range rifle that I'm looking to become proficient out 1000+ yards. I do think that the hunting culture in this country would make it very hard for a foreign invading army to ever have complete control. I'm confident that if put in a war type situation in a rural setting I could kill at least two invaders before they kill me. 2 to 1 seems like a good ratio for a civilian.:) I hope this never happens. I thank the real snipers and all the military women and men, past and present, who keep us safe. [/QUOTE]
