Comes to show you don’t need to look like an operator to shoot like one. Hate on his kit, gear, clothes, whatever it is. Skinny jeans kid works harder than 98% of people who holds a rifle. Lucas my friend, I’m glad KZbin has a gentleman like yourself. Cant wait to get together after Covid stops and train again. Prayers to you.

[@JT-xi7el]

@I'm a misanthropist you’re talking to a military member, I know exactly what it takes. You put this kid in any platform with military he would shoot along with them and he has already done that. His shooting skills are like an operator, accurate, smart, quick and well placed, he does drills outside of “comp shooters” . No one said he “WAS” an operator, simple was stated he can “shoot” like one as far as accuracy snd transitions. You simple misread the text.

[@JT-xi7el]

@I'm a misanthropist wasn’t sure if you were trying to be one of these KZbin comment critics full of criticisms towards people who aren’t military members shooting in military kit and gear. Reason for smugness. Apologies.

@e fred Eh... hit the trails in your Super Doody F350 with a bunch of Tacomas and 4Runners, then tell us how you feel. Fact is, those giant trucks won't fit on half the trails out there, so they never get far enough from the highway to ever encounter even remotely challenging terrain. True story: No American truck or Jeep owner ever made a Toyota owner jealous.

[@CWTech_3DP]

J Hock I’m not going to lie, I’ve seen a couple Land Cruisers and 4Runners run through trails and they’re just a tad big for trails out here too, Jeeps and raised Silverados are the biggie where I am in the south. I’d still rather trust a ‘Yota than a Jeep and a 150 in the dirt, but they usually are fixable on the spot if the situation needs to be. Expensive off-road cruisers and work trucks are completely different stories.
