Not as easily though TAB.  Cross Country coaches will go through an entire school athlete list to field a small cross country team.  Not everyone is capable of being a good athlete, and even fewer of those are capable of developing endurance .... especially endurance that can be controlled.

If your theory were true, why don't we see the shooters from the summer games in biathlon?  If they could teach those younuns to ski there would be no misses.

genetics plays a huge roll in that.  Not many coachs want to admit that, but if your built wrong for a sport, you will never make it to the highest level.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

TAB ... You just said what I have been saying all along!  They can make a shooter out of a skier or runner, but they can't put endurance in a shooter!

Who has the head banging on a wall emotion?

Anywho..... back on topic.... Man those are some awesome rifles! They have a minimum weight requirement, so I dont really know why some of them are carbon fiber. depending on how they carry, it might actually be better to have a heavier rifle.

I would also love to see how these guys could handle buck fever.



And incase you have not seen Bane's blog post:





*I need faster reloads on my Viagra  :o

**Now thats funny right there.







BTW, put me down for "TAB is wrong"
Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Country Music.
