Taya Kyle won a charity shooting competition with the winner of the National Rifle Association’s 2015 World Shooting Championship on Saturday.
The shoot-off doubled as a fundraising event for the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation and raised $1 million for the charity, Fox News reports. The money was put up by TrackingPoint, the company whose smart scope gave Taya Kyle the advantage she needed to beat professional shooter Bruce Piatt. The company set up the charity event as a way of proving its computerized scopes could turn a novice shooter into an expert marksman.
Taya, the widow of American Sniper author Chris Kyle and founder of the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, managed to complete all 29 targets without a single miss. Piatt, using traditional sights, hit 58.4 percent of his shots.

so really the scope won and didn't test anyone's abilities.
ReplyDeleteJust because you have a scope does not mean you're going to hit the target. Obviously not a shooter.
DeleteSo what 9:54, they were raising money, not testing anyones abilities.
ReplyDeleteUm, yeah. I think that's how charity events go. Kinda like a boxing exhibition match, held for "exhibit." Except of course when the Russian whipped Apollo.
ReplyDeleteGive me a Walther PPK and her a Walther PPK and put a beer can 75' away and see who hits it the most times.I would rarely if ever miss.She would go through a box of 9mm shorts without hitting the can once I'll bet.
ReplyDeleteAwww, how cute you use a little girls gun. Calm down princess everyone knows your not hitting beer can at 75 yards. Silly person.

I wasn't really referring to the money-raising aspect of it. I was commenting on the headline, which made it seem she was a better shot than the champion, which obviously is not true. Carry on.
I will never believe that Chris Kyles murder was the act of one mentally deranged person acting alone.
