Impossible Shots-- Redux
« on: February 17, 2010, 02:15:17 PM »
I know we have hashed and re-hashed our opinions of safety issues for the Impossible Shots tv show on the OC.
Well, today's episode is a 'shouldn't miss'........set aside your issues for a half hour and watch "The Old Sniper". It profiles Ted Gundy, an 84 year-old WWII Veteran and sniper. It was a very emotional show.

I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

What a story, and God Bless the future generations that always hold, in the highest respect and regard, those that came before them.

A true honor, to a true American Veteran.  Those past, present, and future there at Ft. Benning.

Thanks for the link Peg. It is very much appreciated. I have to go replace the Air Cond. filter now, seems to be causing some type eye and sinus reaction.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

After reading about this, I called DirecTV yesterday and added Outdoor channel.  This was a show that I just could NOT miss.  I recorded it last night and will be watching tonight.

+1!  He's still a hell of a shot. You could tell the AMU guys were really impressed with his 1000 yard group.

I just watched this morning.   I need to hot key this  "We can never repay our veterans enough" 

A hat, a VIP tour of the Army Base, a chance to hang out with the guys, and a chance to shoot a modern sniper rifle....really so little and it meant so very much to him.

I was so impressed with the honor and respect that went both ways here....from Sgt Grundy to the pros and the other soldiers he spoke to and even more touching was that which flowed from the pros and the the other soldiers to Sgt. Grundy.

My A/C isn't running...better check my furnace filter....
