Interesting video from TX about a citizen coming to the aid of a peace officer

Ernie Bishop

I'm glad this man was there and was willing to help an officer in need.

Here is a local report by participants.

I did not realize from the initial report the armed citizen was shooting a handgun at a range of 65-75 yards. Not bad shooting for a 66 year old man!

Watch the clip again- - - -the range was 165 yards!

Now that is amazing. I thought maybe the gentleman just misspoke or that I must not have heard it right. At that range I am surprised the perp even knew where the shot to his leg came from.

nice! I love all the haters on youtube screaming bull on the 165 yard shots. Granted Bob Munden isn't human or something but I've seen him take 400 yard shots with a .22lr with the pistol upside down in 1 hand and hit it so if this guy was taking aimed shots normally I'm sure he could do it. I can't but that's just me.

I've got a boat engine flywheel about 16" in diameter hung up at the 200-yard line at the range we use at the SE shoot. People hit it with handguns with boring regularity.

Jerry,
Agreed! Good shooting is good shooting.

That same rack has a big bush hog disc suspended from chains, with a 2" hole in the center. My grandson and his friend stuck an orange target spot over the hole and burned up a bunch of .223 ammo shooting through the middle of it without hitting the steel with somebody's accurized AR.
