I would go no training and no practice

I heard 138 yards container to podium with any decent rifle is an easy shot from prone , with training 6 seconds =1 ring of the phone is plenty to set up a 200 yard prone shot from standing

I was thinking , he probably bought the gun , bought the ammo and let them bore sight it at the store and though that was good

I agree at 150 wind plays no reasonable effect on 223

people were calling it in so the response should have been move the former prez and deal with it , wondering where the Sec service dispatch breakdown was in communication.
how does a person get a long gun inside 500 yards let alone inside 150 of the podium.

don't know much else yet

If he was aiming at DT's head......that was better accuracy than just a gunshop boresighting job.

Plus, can't see a scope on the rifle. Appears to be a red dot or other holographic sight...maybe even iron sights.

I regularly shoot coyotes out to 200 yds. With a .223 , never worry about the wind.

normally start adjusting with a 10-15mph full value wind at 300 yards then only 2moa on service rifle targets.

There has been plenty of self proclaimed experts looking for their 15 minutes of fame by pontificating about what they think they observed or may have happened with no real basis of facts to back them up, pure speculation much like the reporting of the media that night.

There are certainly plenty of questions, but answers won't be forthcoming anytime soon! Don't get caught up in the drama being created.

May have been anyway. One second the shooter is pointing at the officer, seconds later he takes a rushed shot at a moving Trump. That may have been the difference.

If the cop/ cops saw knew there was a shooter on a roof within shooting distance of the Former President and unless said officer/ officers did not have any communication devices why wasn't the potential target moved to safety before any shots could be fired? IMO SS and LEO'S dropped the ball in allowing Trump to remain visible after a threat was identified and confirmed in fact should of been moved even on the suspicion of a threat until area was checked and confirmed safe. So what if it meant a,5 or 10 minute delay in getting started . I belive the saying goes better to be safe than sorry

taking on a rifle with a pistol is not a smart move
so taking cover and calling for the counter sniper team to take him out while preventing the shooters escape isn't a wrong decision.

you sort of have to wonder if the cop had no radio , was he off duty or some sort of administrative/investigative position or working mutual aid from a dept on a different frq

but phone calls take longer to dial than setting up a shot

Sorry but unless this event was a staged planned event (asassination attemp) Trump should of been moved when the possible threat was reported, that caused the investigating officers to respond/ be dispatched.
The more one thinks about it the more one says it was planned. To many MAJOR mistakes made by the protection detail.

Generally very true statement, but from the footage I saw of the man videoing the shooter, that boy could have been taken out from on the ground. He obviously wasn't paying any attention to the folks looking at him. We are talking about protecting the former and very possible next president

Because Trump is a big guy and was wanting to show he was OK. He was resisting against his SS agents a bit as he was being forced off the stage and down the steps.

If you can find the video...there is one with better audio....DT is telling the agents to wait, hold on, let me get my shoes, wait a minute....this continued down the stairs as he was shaking his fist.
