He grew up when they counted the money each shot you missed. Also when they'd buy a box of shells and go have a fun time for a afternoon in places that we can no longer shoot legally because it's now considered "City limits". Edit: also a time where we didn't have the internet, and free time was precious, so he didn't waste time. Chores and responsibilities have certainly changed over the years.

I remember back in the early years of the post 9/11 wars, the Military had old Big Game hunters come in to teach the kids some of the field crat skills that you learn hunting things like deer since so many young men don't learn that sort of thing from their grandfather's fathers and uncles like in years past. And it not just this sort of thing, there is lots of stuff that is of value that you can pick up from the old guys. No doubt off camera they picked his brain a lot too.

Our neighbor, a WWII veteran of the South Pacific campaign, was a sniper - even in his last months, he refused to talk about it. His family asked my father, another Pacific vet (tail gunner) was asked to help get more information on his war experience but even a comrade in arms wasn't able to unlock the deeply emotional story of what this then-young man/boy was required to do. A sniper is a hunter of human beings - choosing a living, breathing young man no different from yourself, for extermination, following the orders of politicians & the indifferent bastards in power, is a moral conflict that never resolves.

@vagabond142 3 года назад

One of the skills that some snipers have that I could probably never do is firing with both eyes open. They train their brains to focus the scope eye, and the other eye is "lazy open." Why? Two reasons. 1) Reduce parallax factor, aka "tunnel vision" down the scope 2) In WW2, Vietnam, Korea, etc, there was a lot of urban/jungle/hill country/etc combat and sniping. And if you are tunneled in down a scope and an enemy pops up 5 feet away from you outside of scope sight, you're dead. Notice that Mr Gundy shoots the WW2 replica with both eyes open, even though he knows he's safe.
