Hip Firing A 20mm Cannon

3,600 Yard Shot
On September 28th, 2014 a team from Hill Country Rifles joined with expert instructors from FTW Ranch to attempt a 3600 yard shot onto a 36” steel target. At more than 2 miles, it will take the bullet a full 7.2 seconds to reach the target.
New Jersey native Jim Spinella is not a stranger to long distance shooting, but this shot would be a new personal record. One that few would ever consider attempting.

5.56 Flying Off Shelves
From Nutro over at AR15.com:
I went to Cabelas after work this afternoon to check the bargain cave but decided to stop by the ammo area for some .308 that is on sale.
Someone mentioned the Federal American Eagle 5.56 being on sale for around $6.50/box of 20 so I thought “Fuck it, I will pick up 100 rounds” I walked over and there was roughly 55k rounds of that and PMC on sale. I grabbed a case of 500 and walked over to the bargain cave for about 9 minutes. When I came back to see the 308 ammo, everyone was stacking cases in their carts. They said they just went through 55k rounds in 49 minutes.

...Woman Shoots Herself While Adjusting Bra Holster
Fifty-five-year-old, Christina Bond of St. Joseph, Michigan died on January 2, 2015 after she negligently shot herself in the face while adjusting her bra holster.
“She was having trouble adjusting her bra holster, couldn’t get it to fit the way she wanted it to. She was looking down at it and accidentally discharged the weapon,” St. Joseph Public Safety Director Mark Clapp told MLive.
The way I see it, two rules were broken: 1) know your target, and 2) keep your finger off the trigger.
