Podcast.

Guy's 91 year old Dad visits, says a bunch of stuff, about silver, raw milk, growing up in the depression and why he wants to vote for Ron Paul. Then goes target shooting with his son. This is Dad's target at 25 yards with a 22:

Assuming the grid is 1 inch, ~16MOA not bad for a 91 year old who probably has poor vision and wasn't even trying that hard. Stringing indicates his primary error is breath control. Could probably tighten that to ~10-12MOA with about an hours worth of instruction, which would be enough to engage targets out to 200 yards.

No need, I'm sure there is an Appleseed nearby. you can run a .22 at 25yds all day long at an Appleseed, and anybody willing to pay attention will significantly shrink their groups. The Appleseed people will tell you all the same things I would, and you don't even have to cast it as 'improving your shooting.' Call it a gift-day at the range with ridiculously skilled instructors.

On that note, I really really wish that every single person in the liberty movement would attend an Appleseed weekend.

Seriously.

This is a good podcast episode. I love listening to old timers tell stories. Sounds like my grandpas but neither of them made it to 91.
