We miss you, AC.
We miss you, ToddG.
I have found it challenging in the past to acquire optics or irons when holding left handed, which says to me that I likely hold lower instinctually.Cool, hands on experience. Do you find that you need to hold the rifle a bit lower when switching to weak side or do you use the same exact cheek weld? It wasn't completely clear to me from your video.
One of my goals for 2013 is to take a carbine course that forces me to do more off-hand shooting.

I'm not trying to jump on the other side of the fence and say they're terrible. Despite the mistakes in Lebanon, Hezb got real quiet after that war. They got their asses rocked harder than they're willing to publicly admit. Not to mention, a lot of the failures were analyzed into new operating procedures i.e. the Gaza War just a few years later.
I don't doubt for a second that the average Izzie infantryman is good at what he does, just like a US infantryman. However, your mention of NCOs is an important point. AFAIK their NCOs serve their several years of conscripted time and that's it. Which is to say, no professional NCO corps. Kind of a big deal, I think.
As far as Russophiles go, just remember, that by the end of 2013 the Russians will make... SOCKS standard issue:

Part of it also is focusing on SOF being cool. US, British, Aussie, French, Israelis, they all have great SOF units. So do the Russians, no doubt. That doesn't mean average Johnny is going to be the biggest badass in the universe. And neither will average Ivan.
I'm sure there are some useful things all of us could learn even from guys like Sonny, if you some of those methods and safety proof them a little bit. Having said that, no amount of secret Spetsnaz knowledge is worth taking a double-tap to the torso!
Here's the number one reason I like the Tavor:
Barrel lengths go
- 16.5"
- 15"
- 7.5"

Thank you for that pic. You just got "She Who Shall Be Obeyed" on board.
In today's world one of the best things you can do for your child; Get them in Scouting, stay with them in the program, and encourage them to stay in.
This will be my next purchase. Love these rifles. The reps came out to our range and did a demo. Smooth shooting and well balanced.
