This is a really underrated video
I can do what they do better in shorts and t-shirts. They just want to make their silly game look important. They look like nerds.
This is stupid. They need a helmet and a crotch rocket….what kind of dumb shit comes up with this stuff.
The only cross country ski boots those look like is maybe 3 pin. Maybe…
Stupid
meh.
the equipment is certainly effective, I just always thought one of the greatest defining characteristics of marksmanship was the ability to accurately adapt to any shooting condition.
When you add in all of this "goofy gear", it takes out wayyy too many of the variables which legitimately make precision shooting a skill reserved for those muscular enough to stably hold a rifle for an extended period of time.
case and point: I see no problems with this stuff for shooting prone, but it is ridiculously untrue to the nature of real standing marksmanship.
When you try to hard in making your "sport" look important by making it unnecessarily complicated. I have never seen anything more moronic in my life.
Please make a video on properly standing position in 10m rifle.
all these goofy add-ons like special shooting shoes, seems to rob the sport of something. next thing you know they will wear full body casts for a more stable shooting platform.
shooting boots?!?!?! really?? this is just a weird market to make money…I will never understand why these shooters have to dress like idiot clown robots to achieve certain results, while a lot of shooters can do the same without those foolish things
this is a ridiculous video.
And here I just thought they wore the stuff to look cool
seeing all these comments on how the clothes make the shooters "look like nerds" and how it makes it "not real shooting", go ahead and try out air rifle shooting without the competition clothes, and let me know just how bad your back, shoulders, knees, and basically every part of your body aches. these competitions can take hours, and when you’re standing/sitting in a completely uncomfortable and unnatural position for that long, you’ll be glad when you have these clothes.
if it’s "not real shooting" then go ahead and pick up one of the rifles and get into some competitions. you’ll win real easy, right? what’ve you got to lose?
Question to everyone who uses riflescopes. Why are you doing this ? It is not necessary to hit your target. Using a rifle scope falsifies the shooter’s ability.
As an army sniper myself, I found all this laughable, ridiculous, sad, stupid and totally unnecessary.
