I mostly shoot standing up or from a bench, Tim. I prefer shooting
offhand and sometimes sitting down at a bench with the firearm on a
rest. I don't have a reason to plop down on the group and shoot.


Life's a bit different when you might get shot at. But, the lack of knowledge

He's already shooting a foot off the ground and having to raise the rifle just to service the lever. I can shoot and cock a 303 Brit bolt action in prone with the barrel elevated about 5-6 inches or approx the height of your fist under the stock. and yes, your head is low. really low. and shots are good up to 150 yd.s

I can't operate a leaver at that height.

Indeed, I rarely find myself under attack by groundhogs and squirrels
100 or more yards away, and therefore have little need of dropping to
the ground so I can blow them away with a .303 bolt action rifle. Gosh,
how much of those tasty critters is left when you kill them with that .303?

Hey, I shoot more than sodapop bottles. I'm the proud 1/5th owner of
some steel targets and, of course, a slew of paper targets.

I would think the guy in the video could use some better hearing protection, muffs on
top of plugs, especially after saying how the gun is loud.

It appears he was shooting at a target pretty close, unless he was standing on top of

Harry has repeated many times that he registered for the draft and kept
the draft board aware of his residence as required by law. He has also
repeated many times that had he been called to serve he would have,
again as required by law at the time.


And you believe him?


Interesting question. If Harry *had* been drafted and sent to
Vietnam as so many others were, would he now consider himself a killer
of babies, women and noncombatants that pillaged Vietnam villages as he
likes to accuse others of having done?

I renewed my license at a 100 yard outdoor range not too far away. $20.00
for a year. For messier shooting we head out to the Shenandoah site.
Everyone has firearms the others don't have, so trying out different guns

renewing again. I don't get a lot of enjoyment out of shooting holes
in paper targets anymore. The trill is gone. :-)


I renewed my license at a 100 yard outdoor range not too far away. $20.00
for a year. For messier shooting we head out to the Shenandoah site.
Everyone has firearms the others don't have, so trying out different guns
is fun.

My guess is that Harry would have strived to be the top recruit in
boot camp and he would end up leading a fire team into the villages to
kill the enemy, who ever they were.
At the end of the day he is still a guv'ment man.

I'm sure I would have gotten through boot camp successfully, but even
back in those days, I had serious misgivings about the moronic war
against the Vietnamese. I would have had a difficult time going into
villages to kill people, especially people not positively identified as
being members of the military or the non-uniformed military. Was I
supposed to trust "military" intelligence?

You're all for big government. It's odd that you never were a government
employee of any sort.

With your luck, you might have been able to be keeping the godless
communists out of West Germany or just been painting white rocks
outside the officer's club at Ft Dix.
None of my friends had your luck. 6 of them went to Vietnam or
Thailand (air force) and one got Germany.

He ended up getting hooked on golf so pick your poison ;-)

The only one who didn't enlist or get drafted married my sister and
her 4 kids. Poor guy

I mostly shoot standing up or from a bench, Tim. I prefer shooting
offhand and sometimes sitting down at a bench with the firearm on a
rest. I don't have a reason to plop down on the group and shoot.

Life's a bit different when you might get shot at. But, the lack of knowledge
exhibited by you and donne' is understandable.

If you were getting shot at in Vietnam, it was because you deserved it.


That's true of all military in combat, isn't it?

I suppose your unit never came under fire?

F'ing liar.

Oh, I was thinking your own troops were shooting at you because you are
such a racist asshole.


Another lie.

Tell us about the unit you were with in Vietnam, krause.

Harry has repeated many times that he registered for the draft and kept
the draft board aware of his residence as required by law. He has also
repeated many times that had he been called to serve he would have,
again as required by law at the time.

Interesting question. If Harry *had* been drafted and sent to
Vietnam as so many others were, would he now consider himself a killer
of babies, women and noncombatants that pillaged Vietnam villages as he

Well, given the integrity with which Harry is imbued, there should be no doubt in
your mind.

Did he ever give you a response regarding the unit he was with while 'recovering
bodies of dead soldiers' in Vietnam?
