Shooting w/Team Sergeant - Page 2

Yeah. The only blood let was mine. It just wasn’t enough to fulfill TS’s requirements of blood letting. So it didn't count.

Still don’t understand how that piece of whatever, came from that angle.

I knew TS was an exceptional shot, but to see it, is a treat. There isn’t much I can add to what others that have shot with him have said out here before. He is also great instructor. I learned a lot. We all did. RL was impressive. It was his third time shooting. It impressed me. That’ll give ya’ll a good idea of how good an instructor TS is. He’ll have his work cut out with me however. I’m an older guy.

One other thing. You don't want to even be 260 yards from TS even if he only has his HK in his hand.

And to be clear, we're talking USP .45, not a rifle.

Please, tell me you got video of this.

If so I would love a copy to make true believers out of some LEO's I work with.

I’m a lurker here. I’ve nothing of interest of offer, so I keep my mouth shut, and read. But, I went shooting with Team Sargeant today, and came away from the shoot impressed, very impressed.
I’m not new to shooting. I’m lucky enough to live in Phoenix, where there are good ranges. I’ve participated in pistol shoots with Brian Enos, Rob Leatham. I’ve shot 1000 yd matches with and pulled targets for the likes of Mid Tompkins, his wife, Nancy Gallagher and her daughters, Michelle and Cherie, as well as other Palma Team members, such as Norm Crawford and Tom Whitaker. So, I’ve seen some impressive shooting.
After some “meet and greet” and warm up shooting, we got down to it. I thought, OK, so TS can put 3-5 rds from his trusty HK (stock) into one hole covering a 1" sq. pastie from 7-10 paces. So, he can knock off 12 gauge husks from the top of the 1" sq wood target stand. So he can put a .45 on target at 256 yds. I’ve seen that before (well, OK, I’ve heard of it). Not impossible, but takes a good shooter to do it. And, TS obviously had the training.
Well, then he puts a .45 case on top of the wood, open end down, and puts another .45 case on top of the first case, and says he’s going to shoot the top case off, and leave the bottom case on the wood. Yeah, right! Maybe after a few magazines.
Well, damned if he didn’t do it. I mean, he drew, focused - and I mean focused - fired one shot, and knocked the top case off. He left the bottom .45 case sitting on the stand. TS’ bullet not only knocked the top case off, but drove the bottom case into the wood so deep I couldn’t pull it out. TS had to shoot that one out too.
Now, I’m impressed. I’d only want to play guns with TS if he was on my side.

He put his $$$ where his mouth is.

Nice shooting.

Sorry Smokin Joe, we didn't have a camcorder. Of course you know he can do it. You shot that one vid, you posted out here. Too bad you couldn't have been down here today.

12B4S · 05-09-2006, 22:13

Heyyyy! WR. Great to see you post.

WR shot very well today as well. I didn't mention him earlier, because he never posts and I didn't know if I should. Notice. This is WR's first post. my guess, the reason for that is what he saw what TS can do.

Hopefully I can join you guys next time.

Shooting with the Team Sergeant is ALWAYS an educational expericence.

It is always TS saying that he will do.... I usually say to myself ya bullshit. Then TS does it.Shortly followed by me answering to myself (with my jaw wide open) son of a bitch he did it. I can't believe anyone could do that.

Every upstanding member of this forum should take the time to go shoot with TS just to see the man shoot... not to mention his exceptional instruction.

SJ........... Can't put it any better than that.
There is a tad more about today, but have to check with TS.

My question is this. . .

WR, if your hobby is photography, how come there's no pictures?

What WM failed to mention was the fact that after a short discussion he shot a few "bullet hole through hole" shots himself. If I remember he had a string of 3-4 going through the same hole. This is not a shot group, they went through the same hole. When WM did this he said he thought he was shooting blanks.....

Most have no idea what's its like shooting at a target and when it appears as if you are missing you are actually placing the shot through the same hole.....

It was a pleasure to meet you WM, we'll have to do it again!
