Shooting Skills
some talk the talk but can't walk the walk..........
Just got back from seeing TS, and spending a glorious day shooting. I've been out with him several times before in South Carolina but this time was great.
Start with and progress through draw/presentation/trigger control/accuracy....the man makes holes through holes 1 or 2 hands.
He had me working on one thing and and when he came back to my target thought I was surely a surgeon; I had stitched the target from chest to abdomen (I thought he wanted me to do this, i.e., I didn't know he wanted me to stay with the same initial point of contact!!) I hope he posts a picture of the target, he laughed pretty hard at my expense....but damn fine shooting it was.
I highly recommend lessons from him and he's affordable at $200/hr plus meals......(LOL)
He really does shoot this way....surgical shooting for that all important shot that the average LEO or civilian dreams of making.
Overall, a fine day of shooting, just wish I lived closer to do it more often.
I have my practice orders and have started on the road of walking the walk....TS, I'll make you smile next time we shoot together.

Team Sergeant - Swat Surgeon's target does make for a nice looking zipper. Are you sure he wasn't using a T&E on that pistol? I remember doing something similar (horizontally though) with a water cooled Browning. Nothing like a museum piece, a 250 rd belt, and boredom to see if you really can cut things in half with a machinegun. Maybe he needs to try Class 3 toys next. YIS Peregrino
