Summary
Mark Koernke discussed flag etiquette and the decline of patriotic observance in American communities, noting the haphazard lowering of flags at half-mast and the deterioration of flag maintenance standards. He addressed preparedness initiatives including night vision equipment sales and long-range shooting projects, with callers providing technical updates on rifle adapters (Magnolia State Arms magazine well for Galil rifles) and FAL magazine sourcing. The show featured extended discussion on shooting technique, focus, and proper stance for long-range rifle work, including references to 50-caliber shooting associations and 1200-yard range development.

You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. And your daughters visit doctors so their children won't be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch and tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave is this still the land of the free good afternoon ladies and gentlemen This is the afternoon intelligence report mark kirky and Don butcher One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, Central, Southwest, East, and Northwest. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on libertytreeradio.4mg.com, pbn.4mg.com, and we are in live 365 and go to Liberty Tree Radio. You will also find us on AM&FM microstations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net technologies both east and west of the Mississippi, along with southern and central Alaska. We're also on the Hallmark Network, a colonial state's eastern seaboard, and expanding into the heartland of the United States. We will be in southeastern Ohio or in southern Ohio with the Golden Spike Project. shortly. And congratulations to our friends and all of our allies that are working hard. The idea behind this is between three different nets that are being assembled. They will be aligned and they will be separate from the internet. When the internet goes down, we'll still be up and online. They can cut off their nose despite their face. They look ugly anyway. We don't care. Ooh, yuck. Well, they just look the way they normally do. And with or without the notes. Anyway, it is, Don, what day? It is the 29th day of May, and May is just about gone here, you guys. Again, May 29, 2009, year of our Lord. I'm going to rub that thought up. So here again for all of our friends listening, if you want to find out more about what's going on, and I want to make sure this is the last broadcast hour where we can do this, Don, you have Night vision available. We've got a special project. We're better than halfway there. So everybody listening, pay attention. Don, give us all the information so we know what's going on with that project. Mark, you guys were at 11. Now we're 9 to go here. Bundling a purchase together of 20 with a pair of 90 millimeter front lenses, which is a great amount of glass to gather light for a generation tube. Not one, but you guys will see it in a particular catalog out there for $49. I'll put it in your... $130 will get you a first generation binocular, a two tube system, five power, as a built-in illuminator. If you get dark enough, you can then, and we've talked the caveats, the dangers of, and the advantages of illuminators. Well this has a, and as you widen the beam, it gets, you know, shorter range, but covers more of your field of view. Again, if we get 20 of these, and we're better than halfway there now, so you've been thinking about it, and you know, maybe you're getting, well, I can't say you're getting that stimulus package from the government, because you know they're getting really stingy unless you're a banker or some sort of international crook or got your hand out in a radio real big way. But you guys $430 for this in the Cabela's kettle one more time or other. Did I give out that phone number yet Mark? At any rate it is 3-1 of a 9-6-3-1 after the hour and we'll control what it will and you know we can talk about application but you know there's a whole lot of other things on it. We've been beating this up you guys. You know we're better than a minimum number of purchase at price and continue to run that but their finite number of this I don't need to elaborate on it. Two, three, one. Night vision you could even call into the hour. If you've got a question about night vision, not other people think just arrange different or it might be the same question just one different word. We're happy to answer it. One more time for that number and then I'll be quiet. Two, three, one. Nine, six. I told you I'd be quiet. But you know what? There's just a gun show's coming up. Hey and just walking to the end of the line passing out everybody a how to and you know we've talked about this kind of like the Revlon commercial you know Tell your girlfriend about the shampoo when I use that as an example. It will be 2 and 4 and 6 and 8 and 16 and 32 and 64 and what, 100 and something and beyond and beyond. Just great big numbers really quick. But again, we know to a certain extent that works and we know that the times we live in people need or rather, this is why things are happening a lot quicker than they would if nobody has tried to gore my cow yet. There is if it's an ox or a cow, you know what I mean, but I did tell you a while ago mark be quiet But there's a number of different ways if you don't have a skid advantage of here You know you can make up what we do here, and you know it don't have to be this hour I'm I toward this hour. I know that guy Martin with my life You know what I mean fine sheets schedule on one side and from the page or even at the top in mine second But it's my name isn't and then I know that your name mr.. Cornky note no dick intended and but you know what I'm trying to your name turns lots of head it does your name garden to you over the years but not your name that's going to win and no disrespect sir you know exactly what I'm going to get everybody else never for yes you are part but the idea is everybody else has to pitch in or it isn't going to get done it's all right we're just providing the ammunition will provide the tools and we'll know for as long as we can we'll keep doing it we're not going to we're not going to stop That's right. That's the thing. But we need everybody else to pick up their tools and run with the ball on this one, guys. That's all there is to it. Help to get the job done. Help on the work site. There's so much that can be done right now. We've got people everywhere who want to find out about what's happening. There's people curious about all the situations. And you know, too, same thing happened today on the way back. We just ran down, checked out things with Wolverine M.O. Everything is good down there. The shop's problem is they're using up so much equipment down they're going to have to restock. And that, of course, is the nature of having a surplus business like that. But one of the things I noticed, I always watch because we're going down the road, and I'm just watching flag poles, for instance. There was such a haphazard array. Somebody must have died in Michigan, I assume. Or maybe some of the chains tell their member affiliates that if they are part of the system, check their computer in the morning. If it's like McDonald's or Burger King, somebody was killed in Pennsylvania or from Pennsylvania, then everybody does it. I warned everybody and I'm watching this. It's going exactly as expected. The plastic rah-rah is over. You have 20 flags you can see standing on a business row and it almost looks like a barometric chart. You know what I mean? One flag's up, two flags up, one flag down, one flag partially halfway down. It varies. Some are half-masked. And then some are just not there at all now because it was like, man, that's a lot of work and the flag costs money. Well, we'd have to keep it lit and let's just take it off. And now I notice this. And of course this is where you've got the Soviets in place. Now you've got the Commissars. Before it was okay to have that American flag flying, but now it's not so safe because the Commissars don't like patriotic Americans. And the secret police, a lot of these scumbags, they don't care who's giving the orders. One minute it was, oh, they're conservative and therefore, for America. And then they'll turn right around. And for these quadriplegic homosexual Eskimo liberals, they will turn right around. And I mean, as in Soviet socialists, will turn right around and follow every order and brag about, oh, we was great when these guys are in. We get more money. And in the same breath the parasites turn right around and screw everybody and then of course wonder why it is that they are disliked or why it is that people are fed up with them. You know there is a standard to be maintained and they aren't maintaining it. In fact all they are doing is just suck up and that's the only way to describe it. It's suck up. But the thing about the flags, what really bothers me is this is like what I saw when I was young in Vietnam, you know, with the Vietnam warrior. I wasn't in the middle ages, stages of Vietnam. I came in at the very end of Vietnam as it was closing down when I went in the military. And in fact, Vietnam fell about the year I went in. So, I mean, what gets me about this is, well, yeah, just as. Anyway, what gets me is... Back when I was young, I remember when it was a to-do thing when a guy died in the area, everybody in the small towns lowered the flag. They used to have people talk about it and there would be ceremonies. That went on, but you've got to remember that war went on for 10 years. By the end of it, half the businesses didn't even bother flying a flag if they had a flagpole. Some of them took their flagpoles right out. They didn't bother. Oh, that's an expense. We don't have to worry about them. And others stayed the course, even like the veterans of foreign wars and the legion, they all did their part. Even the Boy Scouts still followed the rules basically and were paying attention. But it meant that every day you had to face reality. Which means somebody had to have some kind of coordinating effort. Again, like right now, did anybody set up a who do you call to find out whether or not you need to lower your flag? I would question, was there even anybody who made the effort to establish that in this day of computers? How hard would that be? Think about it, guys. You could have a site up in Lansing. Maybe there is, but it got no publicity, and for obvious reasons, they just fall in their place. We got the Canadian Californicator up there anyway. She didn't give a hoot about America. But what's fascinating about this is that all it would take is just today to have almost like a temperature gauge. It is Friday and it's the AM. It was early in the AM, say 5 or 6 o'clock. You get into work and you punch in the key and it takes you to the site and it will give you the name of the person who passed away. They could tell you how many days the flag needs to stay at half mast, etc. That would be so simple. So it's not even like it used to be where there would have to be even more effort made. You'd have to either call into a radio station or call into the Legion. and or you'd have to pay attention to the postings in the newspaper. Nowadays it would be so simple and ridiculous and you don't see that. You're not seeing it from the information end, the people who should be giving it, and you're not seeing the effort made from anybody else out there, say, where they could provide that service and it should be a regular and it should be an expected service every morning to honor those who are overseas. However, there's another part of this. As the war drags on, you have to punch in every morning and face the reality that there is something else going on in the world other than just what is happening in front of you. The other problem with that is when they start saying the 100 years war. Do you think we could keep people's attention long enough so that they would have maintained their flag say for the 10 year duration, let alone for the 100 years war? And how many people a hundred years from now are going to jump up and go, yeah, yeah, my grandson, my great grandson died in the first year of this thing. Yeah, they're planning on killing me next week in the Great Offensive, you know, in the hundred years war. But, woohoo, it'll be the hundred year anniversary. Yeah, but there's been a Svensson in it for five generations now. Yeah, big brother's armies are moving across the Malabar front. What about our boys in Malabar? 1984 guys, and that's exactly the kind of BS we're looking at. No, Sam of Bemidung ain't no different from the other parasite, the goof we had in there before. In that respect, but the plastic flags, I counted what, I think nine of the plastic Chinese flags eaten on the flagpole. The ones that fascinate me the most are the ones that have been up there through thick and thin in the weather and down they didn't shred apart. A lot of them get old and the lighter color reflects and the darker color collects heat. And so they separate on those lines even though they're not stitched, they're just print. But it's fascinating to actually separate and you'll see them and they look like the old combat flags that have been in an artillery barrage. Now those I save, I try to get as many of those as I can. You'll see these in different videos. I have a collection for the filming that we're doing so that we can desecrate a flag. I just find a flag somebody else desecrated. You know what I mean? But a bunch of them literally have been eaten line of thread by line of thread and are now half the length or one third the length they were when they first were hoisted up that flagpole. And they're faded and you can barely tell that they're an American flag or they look like what they look like is the old squadron or unit battle standards that were made for the cavalry and for certain infantry units so they wouldn't drag. You know, because of the dimension they were designed so they could be kept, you know, easily kept hoisted, you know, on a pole and a guide on and that way it could easily be seen. But it's fascinating, just half a dozen to maybe eight. There were a couple I couldn't be sure of because they were off in the distance. But I counted them as such because they looked pretty bad. And they weren't that far away. But there's a whole bunch of those. But somebody died today in Michigan in theory because a bunch of places did have their flags at half mast. But the majority, 80%, and I pointed this out to Captain Monahan who was in the vehicle and said, now take a look at this row of houses, buildings right here and houses, mostly it was businesses. And I said, take a look at it. This is just exactly what we were discussing. So it's happening more and more progressively. You'll just see it where eventually, maybe only one or two places, and you'll wonder, hey, those guys are really dumb. They won't have their flag all the way up. You see how that works? Eventually people will forget why they were even supposed to be doing it in the first place. That will be the other half of what you know again this plastic Patriot thing which the enemy is counting on now They've pumped into the it's all America's fault It's all well. It's America's fault for letting it happen for the last eight years to a degree. That's true The mock conservatives are just that mock Because if they if they're real conservatives they put a put up with they would have put a break through this right away If that weren't true mark you'd never hear in the mainstream neo-con that's right so even the mainstream puts it in your face and doesn't expect you to discern what the f*** is talking about. Because once you allow the cockroach to get in, well it's harder than hell to get rid of all the cockroaches it breeds. And that's what happens when you set up a, oh it's just a little bit of a police state. There's no such thing as a little bit of deadly poison. You're right. That's all there is to it. I think we have a caller mark. Yeah, I think we do. Who do we have? Tom and Illinois. Hey Tom, jump in there please. A couple months ago a man talked about a company, Magnolia State, on a adapter by Classic Art. Yes. Yep. Very good. Everything worked? Yeah. Lawlessly? I haven't gotten down. Pardon me? No, I said, alright. That is the, tell you what, how long did it take to install it? You just shove it in like a mag. Okay, so it's just, it's like, you take the chin, stick it up inside, lock it back into place with a standard mag well. and Well, actually, a lot of people, now here's the thing, that works in the 223 Galil and I believe that that can be made to work in the 223 AR-15s, forgive me, that here, 223 AK-47s. I don't know. They have other... Okay, take your time. Well, there are other adapters, is what you're saying? Yes, other adapters on the... Now, question, was that 150 shipping, including shipping? Was it $150 to include, did that include shipping? We've sent the ones that have that rifle. Now here's the other question, are they selling that separate from the Galil? Two separate companies you have to go to. Okay, there we go, that's what I wanted to, okay, that's what I'm saying. Okay, so do you have all the contact information for the first company? Go ahead. Magnolia Arms, they don't have no phone number. Well, that's not a problem. That's okay. So MagnoliaArms.com. MagnoliaStateArmory.com. Make sure our listeners are right. We have guys in the chat room that are probably working on this right now. And now, I know they have the galleels. I know Classic Arms has a good chunk of the galleels. In fact, they've been kind of sitting because nobody has magazines for those. Very good. And magazine well that was GL. Make sure everybody understands that. Only with the first three letters for the serial number? Serial number, yes. Very good. So everybody can understand that. And that is the model that they have at... Sure, they have before. Now what mags did you test in the new magazine well? What type of mag? Just a whole bunch of old ARM-C. 16 type mags laying around all metal. The problem is that what would typically happen with the first ones that we saw is exactly what you're talking about. They would split right on the back seam in the middle of the magazine, especially when they were loaded, they were under tension, if they were hit or if you dropped them like that. They were designed purely as a one-way mag. Obviously, people reused them. Even their own military had to reuse them. They realized they couldn't afford to toss stuff like that out. and eventually they were sold on the market, the open market. Now the newer ones in the newer plastics like the Zytel and stuff or the variations on Zytel are actually pretty resilient. I'm only curious because some have a little thicker line in different points and they may have to, they may be a little tight in that particular magazine well, that's what I was curious about. Do the magazines you're using fit snug? Yeah, very snug good. Okay. Well, that's good. Anyway, you mostly what you'll be using your regular mill mags and As long as that thing's tight, you shouldn't have any problems with performance the rifle itself I've never had any problem with the gliels except that they were charging way too much for what they were This price comparable to the a K's especially since there aren't that many two to three a K's around Even if you pay the hundred and fifty dollars a lot of people who may have other gliels We'll certainly want to see if they can pick this magazine we'll adapt her up and at the very least, even if it's not for their rifle right now, they probably can modify and correct it so that it will work. But obviously again, you don't just cobble the thing together. What you do is you experiment to see where the tight spots are or where there's a limitation, in other words how they're restricted in whatever way and very carefully take off only what's absolutely needed. But for the rifle that you have that was designed this with this magazine well was designed for this extension And that is a fantastic solution that is now that we've confirmed that did they have when you when you order them from Magnolia? Did they how long did you have to wait for the part a long time everything was snail mail phone number no well But normal mail town what was okay, but was there like two weeks three weeks time did it take longer? It was a weak each way. Well, that's not too bad. That's OK. You got to figure it out at the other end. There are certain packages out. They're probably putting production up and online. The good thing is that if anybody's looking for a 223AK system, these glial systems would work just fine. One nice thing is you've got direct contact with the bolt carrier, which is the most critical thing. AK type gas system, lots of girth there, guys, so you don't have to worry about the crud. It will handle any 223 ammunition you want to throw in it. The beauty is once adapted with the standard M16 magazine, you got the best of both worlds. Now start looking for your rifle. Start looking around through the market for firing pins and extractors. That's the next step. The parts are out there too. It's just that not many people have had their rifles. So, you should be able to round up a firing pin extractor and maybe some of the other minor springs. Just patiently work them, find them and invest in them as you can. And then you've got all that you need to keep the thing going. Does it still have the bayonet lug? That's one thing I didn't check on those. They were all broken. Oh, well, I think it's your... Are you using Skype? Pardon me? Are you using Skype or a phone? A company. Uh oh, I think we're having a... Where's okay, Tom? A company. I think we're having a little problem. You know what I was going to say is that Classic Arms has a lot of 2-3mm and a 9mm hammer. Okay, well I'll repeat that again because you are breaking. It might be your phone. Is your phone a wireless? I'm sorry, you're gone. We're speaking Chinese. Okay. It's probably your end because I know our world working okay. You might want to check if you're a wireless. It's something going on there. Anyway, Tom, thank you for the update. Did you hear me about the Wolf ammo on Classic Arms? I'm going to repeat it now because you're coming through again. Go ahead. This is driving me crazy so I'm just going to say goodbye. Have a nice weekend. Okay, thank you, Tom. Oh, you came up perfect now. Thank you. Bye. Okay, bye-bye. Probably, oh, you never know. It could be the weekend wire service there. I think we still have Don. Yes, we do. There we go. Okay. I was going to worry me there. I didn't want to speak into that because there was a big jumble going on. We've got the basics out so long again. Thank you to Tom because that's a good follow up. We've asked people to do this. Again, from MagnoliaStateArms.com. Not armory, Magnolia State Arms, right? I think so, yes. Uh oh. Our guys in the chatroom can check this out for me because they might have a slat mark again because of the way I wrote this down. But anyway, for $150, it is an adapter. All the machining has been done, all you do is plug and play and everything is ready to go. This is a good solution. While we don't... Let's see, one, two, three, four. I'm looking at the other prices there. They're about $600 for the Galil. About what 150 so 750 that's not too bad for a 223 battle rifle right now that takes standard AR-15 magazines guys. That's half the battle right there. And finding something that personally the AK action is much more abusive prone as far as being able to take it you know taking punches taking drops taking falls than the AR is in many ways so the again as we know the gas system is superior I don't care what anybody says we know that. simply because it can take a lot more dirt and filth. You're not supposed to let your weapon get dirty anyway, but the big plus plus there is it's not the razor, it's the blades that usually kill you. In other words, the magazines usually are what hit everybody. If it takes AR mags, it's just jumped over into the plus plus category. Because remember, you can start walking across the battlefield and whatever you find laying around, it works in your rifle too. And by the way, if all of a sudden you find a bunch of Mossad troops carrying Galil's just in case, guess what? That little magazine will unclip and their 223M Galil mags work in your Galil. What a thunk it! Look at that! Wow! So you get two mags for the price of what? Hey, that's not cheating. That's intelligent. That's a pretty neat trick. And that was a really good idea. One of the reasons or the logic behind the guy that built them is that a lot of the troops are carrying Mini-14s and a lot of the troops are carrying AR-15s. Wouldn't it be nice if when somebody says throw me a mag you don't have to guess? No matter who it is in the team. So it was not a bad idea, but I've noticed that the whole thing has kind of disappeared. With somebody coming back into production doing steel mags again the way that they are, It would not be a bad idea for maybe somebody to start looking at doing a sheet metal variant on that. As the people become more familiar with the processes and become more comfortable with quality control and understand what they need to do and what needs to be avoided when tweaking the machinery, it would not be a big deal once they gain the expertise to get one of these companies that's been in production, one of the new companies, to actually look at doing a combination mag like that again. Many, many 14 operators would certainly jump at those because a lot of them in the same units have AR-15s, purely a matter of flavor preference. But it could also have been budget. It used to be the Mini-14s were half the cost of an AR-15. That is not the case today, as we know. They're about running parallel out there on the market right now. Plus or minus a little bit, but not by much. So, that's always a thing to take into consideration is magazines and ammunition as we know. Ammo? Well, 223 for obvious reasons. Plus, plus, government's using it. You should too. Let's put it this way. Government's using it. You will soon. There. Yes. Okay. Now, another thing, Don, we have some other shoots, other matches that are coming up, but we are working on both night vision and We're looking at bringing more of the 50 caliber shooter association people up and online. You've been out on the range with a half inch gun and you know why don't you give everybody a little background there because this guy's getting ready to leave for Camp Nega, hitch him for you know to the number three range which is 1200 yards and another one of our units the guys are looking at 1200 right now too. They're looking at accessing a range or building it by the time they're done and being able to do the 1200 mark too. More and more ranges, we're convincing more people to get into long range placement shooting. And this is critical when it comes to overall operations to be able to have that base of fire support that can reach out beyond everything that anybody else has that's shoulder fired. Or to be able to take your weapon, even if it's an existing .308 .30-06. and push it to the maximum limit. Now the half inch guns fit that 1200 inch perfectly though. And again, give everybody an idea, when you went on the range first time around, I know this is Friday guys, and it's not weapons Wednesday, but this is something, you had to feel the weapon, how did you adapt to it? What is it that struck you most when you fired the weapon for the first time? Well, I'll tell you, between shooting the gun at a range for the first time, I've shot through three, even 400 yards. the guy at the next puzzle blast and puzzle breaks. But he walks over a table and he says, have you ever shot a thousand yards before? A thousand yards before? No, he says, well, what you shoot? Well, I'm shooting at that. I was shooting military ball, the first ball, and he looked at me for a minute, kind of sideways, wondering, well, what are you doing here? I'll bet. But he didn't say that. I'm going to try to hit at a thousand, bringing up and keep my first thousand yards. Wow, just an inch under the target. You know what I mean? It was probably your 80 yard short. People, you guys, if you've never shot at a long range before. But the 50 caliber people live in a, you know, every time he shows up. When Scott and I shot the heavier, lighter medium gun at times in his life, the loggies, you'll see men. If you show up even without a sideways kind of into the 50 caliber world, because I tried to address this regular, I was five years old, and I was really, you know, that was an exciting thing for a young lad, you know what I mean? And you kind of get into that, get into that. I can't say it's a rut because you can enjoy that. And you've got, whether you're shooting with your belly or whatever, squeeze that trigger and you see paper. You get that same feeling just like the first time you ever shot a guy when you start a thousand yards. If you want to breathe some noof into your shooting experience, move up in your, if you have to, move up in your caliber. If you've been shooting an M1 or taking that similar shoot in a deer anywhere, and I come up here and do this, Mark, and I know we've got other listeners. shoot a deer 20 yards away military caliber or shoot the 40 yards. I can get some other into a particular mindset, the envelope. You need to revive your passion guys. It really, it can be exhilarating. It can be so much fun. Not to mention, and you know, I, we, I, we invoked particular, I think I've mentioned skip a hundred yards, a hundred yards, a hundred yards with your 22. I've never shot a deer at a great long range, although we've had jumped to my mind right now. Forgive me. But she shot a deer in Alaska at 48 or 784 yards. They're pretty hard just from the ground. Rekindle your interest in this sound six weeks after 9-11. And trying to get a big enough pile of over the edge. You know, well, I'm going to do it now because they will be available later and set to the nation and all kinds of other things. But you guys, that's generally my thoughts. Again, the whole idea here is that for a lot of people it's like, man, I don't know if I can do it. Well, really, the most important thing is, as with everything else when you're shooting, is focus and control, guys. Focus and control. Don't get so overly tensed up that you squeeze the rifle to death, choke all the oxygen out of your extremities. Don't hold your breath so long that they're wondering why you're turning purple and you flop over next to the rifle and pass out. All that happens is there's happened at different times where people have been so old. Yeah, calm down, relax. You know, settle in. The same rules apply at long range that apply with all of your other shooting activities, for instance even with pistol at short range. Okay, you're trying to keep it on that dot. You bring it into that position. I don't know. Once you've shot enough, I can do this with my eyes closed, guys. I can physically I physically feel, even though I'm not holding the weapon, I can feel an AK to my shoulder. I know what the average or the set stock length is. I'm sitting here right now and I've got my head rested on the theoretical stock. And I've got my right hand on the pistol grip. I am comfortably seated. But part of this is letting your body rest on itself. I've mentioned this before. And this is a hard thing for a lot of shooters. They try to. There's two things I've noticed in videos, and it tells me something. If you're a good shooter, you will rest your body. What you do is you bring your body up, you might extend it, but then you rest yourself on yourself. All of the tension is gone. You're literally a platform. That's when you hear that you're a shooting platform. You are. And it's some of the best, again, that we can use movie experiences. Ever watch Last of the Mohican? There's some really good shots there, like when the one Maguet is firing on the British during the ambush when they're betraying all the people who surrendered from the fort. And there's a spot where he's going to take a shot, and it's perfect because he's in shooting stance, you see him breathe, and then he rests himself. Watch what he does. What he did there I was fast that's always jumped out at me because it's like yes that man actually has fired a rifle before I mean actually is a rifle Matt man I don't know what all he's done But I guarantee for what he did especially in that movie that several times When it came to actually use of the actual use of the weapons what you do is you actually you know you extend yourself Breathe take out half the breath and settle and then you bring the shoulders, if you notice what he did, the arms come in, they settle and become part of the tripod, and away you go. Boom! He fired that one shot, horse goes down. He wasn't trying to knock down the guy on the horse. He was trying to knock the horse down. Now that's in movies, I understand that, but the imagery is perfect. It depicted both demonstration of action and end result with proper action executed. See how that works? And the same as when you get into the range, what you want to do is identify that comfort zone. Don't overextend yourself, don't lean forward, don't over, you know, trying to come for the weight of the weapon. Of course, you don't fire a 50 offhand typically guys. There are some guys that they're like, Arnold, they can do this. They can hold the 50 with one arm and have two of them one in each arm. Wait a minute, that's the real Terminator. Oh, well we don't want him around. Yeah, but you know what I mean Don. It's true, there are guys that can fire offhand. Oh yeah, but it takes a grown man. Oh yeah. Big week. Yeah, and we see this with a lot of the young shooters, and I've seen this in a lot of the videos where they have new shooters that are out there that either let them lean too far forward or they're leaning too far back. and they don't have proper leg position, the waist is not properly situated, the back is not properly aligned, and it's uncomfortable for them to shoot. And that's something that as a coach, as a shooting instructor, you need to be ready to address to try and help them to be for so that it becomes a good experience. Remember, you keep reinforcing with the negative and eventually the person has a mindset, subconscious response that you really don't want injected into the formula. These people are going to be supporting you in a combat situation. There's the best way to describe it. Your life depends on how well you train all of your students. So, formula direct here, you want to make sure that you take the coaching time with the individual, you teach them what it is that needs to be done, you demonstrate by example, and then you let them proceed and demonstrate, not parroting completely because you have to adjust it to their economic structure, their economic structure. Ergo-onomic, their design. You adjust it to their needs. You talk about shooting off hand, Mark, and we mixed in the 50s there. Skip used to recount a story of They were shooting at a particular place out west. And once the match was on, some people hung around and they continued to shoot. In this contest was a seal, a Navy seal. And he just by chance said, hey, see that drum out there? And some people had to bring up the, your 55 gallon drum, 100 yards. And everybody said, yeah, in a desert somewhere. The man stood, dusting his sight. He apparently had a good amount of hash marks, lash marks, whatever he wanted, because his first shot mark was indicated within 20 yards, impacted within 20 yards of that 55 gallon drum and freehand. One of Ronnie Barrett now had that guns of equal weight. He might very well have shot within five yards of that or maybe even hit it because Ronnie's that M82 is not a real act. You know, it has much the action of 1945 government issue and about a 1945 like a 1911 and okay, it's government was shot in One, two, three, four, five. A-boom, a-boom, a-boom, a-boom, a-boom. Well, I'll tell you what, that's one of the things too is once you become proficient from one direction, then you can start to increase with regard to recovery and speed. Time in recovery means next target engaged that much faster or follow up on a target that may be in question. Okay, before we go any further, do we have a caller? I think we got Mike. Yes. Go ahead, Mike, jump in there. Oh, it's so far off the subject. Wind it back. Okay, where can a fellow find some metric foul magazines? Well, the first place I could go to ask would be Bun Gun Parts Guy. Okay. Because if anybody knows where any FAL stuff is, he does. Yeah, he does. He may even have some on the shelf, but if he doesn't, then he didn't want to spend the money on him. Can you give me his number again? I'm going to do that while I'm talking.
