Shooting advice
Words Of Wisdom

*
Clint Smith, Director of Thunder Ranch, is part drill instructor, and part standup comic (Thunder Ranch is a firearms training facility in*Arizona).

*
Here are a few of his observation on tactics, firearms, self defense and life as we know it in the civilized world.

*
*
*
"The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win and cheat if necessary."

*
"Don't forget, incoming fire has the right of way."

*
"Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets. You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll** have to beat you to death with it, cause it's going to be empty."

*
"If you're not shootin', you should be loadin'. If you're not loadin', you should be movin', if you're not movin', someone's gonna cut your head off and put it on a stick."

*
"When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket.. If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy... and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."

*
"Do something. It may be wrong, but do something."

*
"Shoot what's available, as long as it's available, until something else becomes available."

*
"If you carry a gun, people will call you paranoid. That's ridiculous. If you have a gun, what in the hell do you have to be paranoid for."

*
"Don't shoot fast, unless you also shoot good.."

*
"You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or use any other word you think will work, but I've found that a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much the universal language."

*
"You have the rest of your life to solve your problems. How long you live depends on how well you do it."

*
"You cannot save the planet but you may be able to save yourself and your family."

*
"Thunder Ranch will be here as long as you'll have us or until someone makes us go away, and either way, it will be exciting."

More Excellent Gun Wisdom.......

*
The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory in defense.* The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either. The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.

*
1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

*
2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, there is something wrong with your tactics.

*
3. I carry a gun cause a cop is too heavy.

*
4. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

*
5. A reporter did a human-interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a 45?' The Ranger responded, 'Because they don't make a 46.'

*
6. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

*
7. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'

*
8. Beware of the man who only has one gun, because he probably knows how to use it very well.

*
'The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.' G. K. Chesterton

*
A people that values its privileges above its principles will soon lose both.

Few more, same principal.

Always worth remembering and living by:
*
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least*two guns. Bring
all of your friends who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice.
Ammo is cheap. Your life is expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is
a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not
moving fast enough nor using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend.
(Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring
a long gun and a friend with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of
caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember
who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating,
reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards
will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the
inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME.
11. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun,
but they should have to beat you to death with it
because it is empty.
12. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the
one you lose.
13. Have a plan.
14. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't
work.
15. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.
16. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
17. Don't drop your guard.
18. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
19. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In G~d we trust.
Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them).
20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will
get.
22. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill
everyone you meet.
23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
24. Your number one Option for Personal Security is
a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence,
and de-escalation.
25. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the
caliber of which does not start with a ".4"
