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

[isofahunter]

Quiggly Ford is the best scope ever built. (And I can bench press 400#)

Bow kills and are you a concrete man?

Bow kills and are you a concrete man?

200 plus and damn straight!

The bullet out of an AR15 won't go through sheetrock at the muzzle. The bullet gets faster the further out it goes.

Why would anyone need multiple guns when you can only shoot one at a time?

If you are hitting targets consistantly at the range, you'll do the same in a combat situation.

Your reticle must be level to your rifle.

[pangris]

your carry handgun, for which 99% of defensive use will be at conversational distances - needs a red dot, green dot, super tall sights to co-witness and of course clear your suppressor - since you also need a threaded barrel, super light trigger, bored out ultralight everything...

[jpjulian]

A .22LR is a perfectly acceptable defensive handgun.........

 

[Im2bent]

. 40 s&w kicks too much

 

[sloporsche]

the 6 mm is the best............................

Pretty sure he’s taken, might have to get in line

Man, the bullet was going so fast it just zipped right through.

Whatchu talkin bout Willis?

Yeah it was going so fast it didn’t have time to expand. Just zipped right through.

I'd just shoot them

I can hit a Dinty Moore at a mile every time with my 6.5 Creedmoor

"I can put a round through a flea's ass at 1500 yards with a 50 BMG."

 

[ggmanning]

All you need is a 7 mag and a Leo-pole sighted in an inch high. Just hold on fur for anything as far as you can see. Dead right there.

 

[ggmanning]

That's too close to shoot a deer. You got to have them a little further off so the bullet can build up enough energy to expand.

That's because it's not a radius. It's a sphere.

The ATF won't come after you for that... They have bigger things to catch.

Shooting tracers at an indoor range is totally fine...

I went to that range, once. I had my AR-15 transferred there. Not on that particular day.
