That was some super left handed bolt work with the Enfield! But shooting prone slowed him down a bit, not able to use his right hand to work the bolt from prone.

That's pretty good stuff and I hate to say it, but I think they would be impressed if they were to see some of us GAF people hammer those boltguns. Oh Ya!! ;D

On the other hand, many of us (myself included) would have a hard time with all the athletics of what they're doing.

I know Pony-I'm 52-and a bit young by GAF standards! So yeah, I'm moving a bit slow "hittin' the dirt"! Nowadays it's more like "lowering gently to the dirt"! :D

I've gotten to the point I just have to stand there and shoot, consequences be damned, because getting back up could be a problem!

Hey

One of the 66 year young 4H instructors I work with said he could get into the kneeling position, he just couldn't get back out...
