Quick Shot Challenge: What’s the dumbest shooting myth you’ve heard?

[jakelly]

Bullets stabilize after 100 yards, so groups at 300 will be tighter than 100

This and the 50 BMG kill radius are both the dumbest, from an abject stupidity perspective.

The one that got us christened diapers hide on other forums, “pick a speed, use quality components, and drive on” should win this contest though, ‘cause that came from here as much as anyplace else. We should reward our own retards first.

AR stands for “Assault Rifle”.

You can have Chili without beans.

Good shooter = good shooting instructor. Just look at the clowns trying to take money off newbs.

Suppressor = silencer

An AR is better than an AK.

“My .338 win mag will drive lengthways through a 600 pound black bear but it’ll explode if it hits a leaf on the way.”


A guy I bought a dog off years ago actually said that shit , while telling me the bear he had mounted in the garage was well over 600 pounds ; while it was smaller than my first bear that weighed 380.

That a bullet generates lift and rises once it leaves the barrel!

 

[BAMCIS]

A .22.long rifle is accurate out to 1/2 mile,and still knock you off your feet at least 20 feet.

 

[tna9001]

That bullets "go to sleep". Or maybe that you need to break in a barrel.

 

[lash]

You don’t need to clean your rifle until it tells you to. About 500-800 rounds is a good time.

 

[Ronws]

I only need one rifle.

 

[Makinchips208]

6.5cm is better than 308

 

[Major Wader]

6.5 Creedmoor is a legitimate 1000 yard deer rifle.

 

[lash]

.308 is the best do it all caliber.

 

[Makinchips208]

Weaver stance > isosceles

 

[Makinchips208]

Focus on the front sight

 

[Makinchips208]

22 bullets bounce around inside your body

Something about the Quigley Ford having the best glass on the planet and they ain't no fucking denying it!

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Larry, gawd darn right and several other of his screen names is bad for the forum because he hurts people's feelings.

 

[Eric32]

My Gun shoots better at 300 yards than 100 yards cause the bullet goes to sleep.

[Expert684]

True story: I was at a local gun show and the ass clown behind a table was telling another ass clown that this ammo was sniper ammo. Ass clown #2 asked how he knew: you ready: the circle with the crosshair ammo is “sniper ammo”. Get da fuck out!!
