I'm not a gun guy and I've been lazy (I only read the very short article) but to me it seems like a 10/10 "What the fuck were they thinking?" screw up by the Secret Service.

you really shouldn't need to adjust for 120 meters beyond setting up your sights for 100 meters then aiming ever so slightly above it. Like unless you've literally got zero weapons experience to know how to put the apple on the post, in which case why are you trying to assasssinate a politician, any shooter should know the most basics of basics of firearm usage

Judging by photos that caught the bullets in flight the shots were at the correct height. The shoot missed to the sides of the target not up/down. Genuine incompetence.

Lack of trigger discipline then. I sentence him to more range time in hell.

Trump was apparently moving around quite a bit when they fired.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Sounds like they should've put the neck as the apple on the post instead of the head. but I'm not someone planning on doing something as asinine as trying to shoot a politician.

I have to get bullied constantly in the mod mailbox to learn the technical details of link safety, something I'm thankful for but still find very humorous
