I like where you are going, but have some question about your marksmanship if you think you are going
to need that much ammo.
Then again, the sky is the limit when it comes to trade value if the Bush really hits the fan. You are going
to have to hire people to help you protect your ammo supply.
My marksmanship is fine. First time I shot an automatic was with my brother and my financial guy about 3 years past. Earl brought targets and headgear. After quite some time while they trained me the 8" blacktarget with fluorescent paint underneath were placed.They were placed about 20 feet or so away at the outdoor range. My first shot hit the target. Good shotwas the reply. I hit the target every time. About 50 shots total. My brother and Earl missed about 20%or so. I attribute this to early military training stories from my dad when I was a child. I did go to BoysClub Camp and they had a 22 rifle and target practice. Don't recall the distance but I was the first shooterand had four bullseyes. Four for four. I was about ten. In my youth I had eagle eyes and they remain quite good. I play pocket billiards and there is quite the need to focus so that could account for accuracy as poolis similar to shooting.In a war there could be many targets over months or longer. Ammo is essential especially if you shootsmall or medium game for food. I was gifted a Kimber a couple of years back. It looks and shootswonderfully.
