How come................?

Why izzit:

I have gone to quite a few gunshows, where I have chanced to meet many Navy veterans. NOT ONE of them was a cook, a radioman, an aircraft mechanic, etc, EVERY ONE of them was a SEAL! Strange.

I have hunted prairie dogs in the Wyoming wind for 50 years or more. Now, every prairie dog shooter on the 'net is commonly making 1200-1800 yard shots in a 40 knot gale, while I just feel good about making a head shot at 125 with my .22 Hornet. Strange.

I have shot a few elk. None further than 75 yards away. I have NEVER met an elk hunter that doesn't regularly shoot elk in the neck while they are on a dead run at over 500 yards. Strange.

How come I am the only gun owner in the world who does NOT own several rifles that will print one-hole groups at 200 yards all day long if I do my part? Strange.

I have noticed that I get 5 MPG less on my truck than anyone else driving the same model truck. Strange

Others here on the forum may have similar experiences, do you?

It seems the 3-500 yard dead run shooters don't come out to shoot silhouette or anything else because it is too easy I suppose. I mean, how hard can it be to hit a stationary target that is only 100M or less away? and with a 20+ power scope?

they breed like rabbits or are cloned from the shallow end of the gene pool.
