    Interesting read, liked the comments about shooting at a range up to 200 metres... farken funny...

    Targets dont shoot back, your breathing is calm and relaxed (and if it isn't, take more time), no worries about where your shots might go if you miss, patch out, all done... nice day out.

    The reality is quite different... the pucker factor alone is something you can't train for, and believe me, someone wanting to take you out, even with or without any weapon, and with training, the pucker factor ticks in, big time.

    Training is once every 6 months, that's all folks. But that is an improvement instead of the once yearly. We have asked the bosses for more time out at the range, but instead, we get less. In the two 6 monthly trainings, we get to shoot less bullets than before when it was once a year...

    Kudos to the two fellas, gold merit awards should be arriving soon,

    And there we were blaming the Parole Board... its your fault... you should have finished him off back then!!!

    The upside of the story was they atleast shot him in the leg.

    He also said he wanted to know what it felt like to shoot someone... guess he got to see what it is like from both sides...

    Laughed my tits off when I heard he lost his leg... just a shame, as someone else pointed out, that they didn't throw out the useless part but kept the shot leg...

    Not a bad shot from 25 metres as he has a shotgun and was trying to get his hands on the Bushmaster in the patrol car...
