The last time I was around one of these, I was face down in the dirt. A 50 Barrett was firing about 7 feet over my head, 75 yards to my rear. I was with another shooter at the time. That was quite the experience.

The shooter of the Barrett was confirming zero at the request of a visiting Secret Service detail. They were protecting a Presidential candidate. But don’t think the Secret Service was asking for help. Nope. They had their person covered and under control.

But…when they found out a 50 was available locally, they requested extra coverage for potential vehicle interdiction on the perimeter. Flash forward 3 days, and I’m face down in the dirt trying to avoid a headache.

If I’m around 50’s too much, they give me headaches. You’ll learn this little fact from experience.
Sincerely,
