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."
