Is it bad...

[GetReal]

... that I always feel compelled to attempt a head shot when I see one of these in my crosshairs? Seek counselling?

 

[Doc68]

Nope. Perfectly normal.

 

[Maser]

I'm the same way when shooting bowling pins. I always try and go for the top.

 

[Ric O'shay]

What you stated is not only correct but incomplete. You should be attempting to shoot two eyes, a nose and a smile on the steel.

 

[Dunraven]

Just go for it

 

[Blue Sky Country]

I do the same thing, almost subconsciously too, when using targets such as these. Head shots are probably the most effective way to instantly terminate a threat, if done properly and consistently... Also, head shots tend be a bit more difficult than larger target areas, and it is engrained in the human nature to always try to conquer difficult challenges and increase your abilities to the next level.

Seek counseling if you do not think about a head shot/s.

 

[HeavyAssault]

With the details you provided, looks like you need more range time if you were trying for head shots.

If by “counseling” you mean more range time, then yes go get that

When you learn to shoot and read the wind. One day you might be able to take head shots. But the way your shooting now dont try it

Think about the meaning of "when I see one of these" ... for a bit. It means "this is not the actual steel I'm shooting at."

I'm not in doubt. At all.

400 yds....

 

[Jscb1b]

Send it!

 

[Srgt. Hulka]

I see it as a more challenging shot. Go for it.

 

[Mwalex]

It's only bad if you repeatedly miss.

I dislike that gun, so I force myself to keep it in rotation....
so I tried to shoot a smiley to make it less of a chore.

100yd group?

 

[GetReal]

100yd group?

Not my group. My group is above, on steel, at 400 yd. In the melon.

Mozambique, fun for the whole family, and the best of both worlds . . .

I'm not a fucking mind reader.....Stay at the range. Good luck.

Not a mind reader. Just be a word reader.

See ya at the range.
