Maggie’s Top 10 Things I Have Learned From "Sniper's Hide" in 2018

[powerspc]

​

1. Always measure the value of free advice against what you paid for it.

2. Beware the man who speaks in absolutes for he is often absolutely wrong.

3. “Best” in any context is always subjective.

4. Everyone is built differently, sees differently, hears differently, what works for you may not work for me and vice versa

5. The word “Hero” used to be reserved for someone who put themselves in grave danger (“is there any other kind”) to stop a crime. Now it means someone who was the victim of said crime…what the F*&^! “Expert” has taken the same downward spiral. Sorry, but your Military service (thank you) or background in Law Enforcement (35 years and counting) does not make you (or me) an “expert” in anything. You may be better informed but an expert is: “a person who has a comprehensive and authoritative knowledge of or skill in a particular area.” There are very few “Heroes” walking among us and an equally small number of “Experts”.

6. During an argument if you force your opponent to the use of slurs or vulgarities, the argument is over and guess what, you won it!

7. Everybody seems to know a guy that knows a guy, but no one ever seems to actually know “the” guy.

8. 10 years from now everything you once thought to be incontrovertibly true will have been proven false.

9. I don’t care how long you’ve been plying your trade or how much of an “expert” (see #5) you think you are, you can always learn something new. There is always someone smarter or more clever than you.

10. There are lots of good people out there willing to offer sound advice (many of them on this forum) and an even larger number who will steer you astray. I recommend ignoring those that claim to “know everything” and listening to the ones who admit they don’t.

11. Trust me, I’m an expert.

5. The word “Expert”
ex·pert
/ˈekˌspərt/
noun

1. “X” is an unknown quantity. A “spurt” is a drop of water under pressure. An “expert” is an unknown quantity under pressure.
   synonyms: keyboard specialist, self-named authority, professional pundit;
   
   
2. “Ex”, meaning, was as one time, or used to be

11. Trust me, I’m an expert.

FIFY

 

[Jefe's Dope]

Great knowledge.

I know nothing, therefore I understand everything. <you don't literally know everything, but being open to not knowing everything opens you up to understanding everything.

[THEIS]

Hi,

Well.....

1. Do not f*ck with the Phoenix Eye.
2. Salute the one with American Snipers bracelet.
3. There are some walking this earth that are just too badass for the average folk to comprehend.
4. The optics section is where you can see a product get recommended over and over, even though it is not even released onto the market yet.
5. Said optics section entities will admit they are new to not only long range shooting but shooting in general, YET they know everything aka expert on optics.
6. Well I only learned 5 things so that I do not get misdiagnosed as an expert (Well 6 if you count this as "learning")....

Sincerely,
Theis

Glad I didn't Google Blue Waffles but instead used a different search engine and was spared any pictures popping up, the description was bad enough!

1. It’s cheaper to buy the good stuff first than it is to “upgrade” mediocre stuff to good stuff.

2. You learn more by pulling the trigger than by reading anything. Trigger time is the ultimate teacher of things.
