The forums have been hosted for some time now out of my pocket. We are coming up on the annual domain renewal for ohioccwforums.org and I pay roughly $20/month to keep the forums online. I do this to maintain the long-standing history of discussions here indexed in Google, and so that people have a place to discuss this topic outside of modern social media censorship.

You just absolutely wouldn't believe how many rounds these guys shoot. It's a completely unrealistic figure, except that the numbers are pretty regularly confirmed by different people who have served in T-1 units. In Eric Haney's book Inside Delta Force (which I thoroughly enjoyed reading), he writes that they would shoot thousands of rounds a day. Insane, but after that level of practice, he said they didn't really need optics, or even aiming. They had moved shooting into an instinctive activity, where the body just kind of automatically lined up the shot where the mind wanted it to go. So if you can afford thousands of rounds a day, every day, and a few hours of range time every day, you can be elite, too.
In my Reserve JAG unit, we're lucky to shoot 200 rounds a year. Lol.
I guess they hope you JAG guys don't have to start shooting in the courtroom ... If it comes to that, I'd say that's pretty fubar'd lol
"Lord, make my hand fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who would seek to destroy me.
Grant me victory over my foes and those who wish to do harm to me and mine.
Let not my last thought be 'If I only had my gun."
And Lord, if today is truly the day you call me home
Let me die in a pile of empty brass."
Amen
