• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

OMG did you see this today

First blood

Heck of a life lesson, hope she still has a proud papa?

The master plan

I can see her future...

The CheyTac Intervention is an American bolt action sniper rifle manufactured by CheyTac LLC for long range soft target interdiction. It is fed by a detachable single stack magazine, which holds 7 rounds. It fires .408 CheyTac or .375 CheyTac ammunition. CheyTac papers state that the entire system is capable of delivering sub-MOA accuracy at ranges of up to 2,500 yards (2,300 m), one of the longest ranges of all modern-day sniper rifles.


It is based on the EDM Arms Windrunner.

RECORDS
The Intervention holds the world record for best group at a distance, landing 3 bullets within 16⅝ inches (42 cm) at 2,321 yards (2,122 m) near Arco in Idaho.


On the Discovery Channel TV show Future Weapons April 9, 2007 episode “Massive Attack” the host Richard Machowicz, a former United States Navy SEAL, made 3 out of 6 shots hit a human sized sheet of metal at a distance of 2,530 yards (2,313 m) at Arco Pass in Idaho.


ACCURACY
CheyTac asserts in its Information Paper of 13 November 2006 that “the CheyTac LRRS is a solid anti-personnel system to 2,000 yards (1,830 m). The primary intent of the .408 is as an extreme range anti-personnel system. Groups of 7–9 inches (18–23 cm) at 1,000 yards (914 m), 10 inches (25 cm) at 1500 yards (1372 m) and 15 inches (38 cm) at 2,000 yards (1,829 m) have been consistently obtained.


Groups of 19 inches (48 cm) at 2,100 yards (1,920 m) and 29 inches (74 cm) at 2,400 yards (2,195 m) have also been obtained. All groups that are up to 3,000 yards (2,743 m) are less than 1 minute of angle for vertical dispersion.

Bang bang, lots of it.

:shocked: But... what if you just want to hunt some deer? :dontknow:
(Did some 600 yard shooting at high-power matches... I was surprised at just how good an M1 Garand is at those distances! :thumbup:)
 
The first question I would ask; why was this "instructor" standing beside the girl? One of the first things I learned at the range, NEVER stand beside a shooter. Generally, behind and to the side where the weapon is held is the place to stand.
According to some friends of mine with much better eyes, the selector was in the semi auto position when the session started, and somehow got moved. At any rate, handing an inexperienced person an automatic capable weapon with more than 1 round in it isn't the best idea in the world.
