    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    Not sure if this was posted yet, but the GAB CEO thinks Crooks was posting there (9 messages). Was pro-Biden, which is against the mainstream narrative that he was a conservative who wanted to take out either Trump or Biden

    Thanks for posting, this also corroborates what @DocUSMCRetired posted about wind speed originally

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    This is a shooting forum. If there was a pro shooter inside the building or near crooks, how do you explain the shot was missed? Using a 6mm+ caliber, even with 30 mph wind, the shooter flinching, and Trump moving - the shooter would have made impact with Trumps head within 200 yards. Period.

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    Good find. It's tough to track the wind though with much of these flags and other objects because we don't know if the wind is obstructed by other objects. And we only see snippets That said, wind is moving hard around the shot with that Trump flag in the video I posted. And as a good rule...

    Most of these clips only last seconds. So it's hard to track real hair movement. As for the group of flags, it seems they are tied down to not flap in the wind If you zoom in on that small Trump flag at around 14-16 seconds you'll see it.

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    What I'm implying with the above is that it seems even more likely he had handlers getting him into the spot to take out Trump, rather than just some random with a gun that isn't much of a shot (like the media has thus far portrayed him as)

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    This video corroborates the 18-30 mph wind speed at the time of the shot. Shot seemed true minus the wind factor. The smaller Trump flag shows brisk wind speed at the 14 ro 16 second point. Most likely without both the wind & the head turn, Trump would be dead. Lucky guy, and hopefully...

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    This is fake. It's not continuous time. Trumps hand was not in the air when the shot broke. Elevation was on. Wind moved the shot...head turn did help too though...just not as extreme as this video. Had the shooter taken wind into account properly, he would have nailed Trump. Good thing he...

    Shots Fired At President Trump's Butler PA Rally!

    I'd say this changes the narrative. At first I just assumed the shooter was a terrible shot. However, he nailed his elevation, while not difficult at 125, he still nailed it for a brain shot. If his handlers didnt think wind would be an issue, then that miss was all wind... And he is a...

    Rifle Scopes The Arken Optics Thread (merged)

    I haven't been following this thread so take this opinion for what it is. I bought a Ruger Precision Rifle years ago, and before I could take delivery due to backorders I was a new member and was only reading and posting on Snipershide in the RPR thread...because that was what brought me here...

    Does the AR upper receiver matter?

    Thanks everyone for the info, I’ve learned a lot from the discussion. Some follow up questions/discussions: I have for the build: Spikes lower (I can’t change this because I live in CA) Noveske handguard Ordering a Krieger barrel with barrel extension included After reading through the above...

    Does the AR upper receiver matter?

    I’m looking to do a few upper builds, with top tier handguards, and Krieger barrels. Assuming the upper receiver is mil spec, from Anderson to Noveske/BCM - will the upper receiver matter for group size or anything else?
