Man shoots down drone hovering over house
Man shoots down drone hovering over house
We need to talk anti-aircraft weaponry.
More
and more so-called enthusiasts are sending drones into the sky. This
means that more and more normal humans are becoming enthusiastic about
shooting them out of the sky.
Especially, as in the case of William H. Merideth, the drone is hovering over your house.
Merideth, 47, lives in Hillview, Kentucky. As WDRB-TV reports,
a neighbor heard gunshots and called the police. Merideth allegedly
told the police that a drone was hovering over his house, where his teen
daughter (he has two) was sunbathing. So he pulled out his gun and gave
it a merry death.
The drone's owner, police say, said he was flying it to take pictures of a neighboring house.
However,
Merideth told WRDB: "Well, I came out and it was down by the neighbor's
house, about 10 feet off the ground, looking under their canopy that
they've got under their back yard. I went and got my shotgun and I said,
'I'm not going to do anything unless it's directly over my property.'"
And then it allegedly was.
Merideth explained: "I didn't shoot across the road, I didn't shoot across my neighbor's fences, I shot directly into the air."
He
says that shortly after the shooting, he received a visit from four men
who claimed to be responsible for the drone and explaining that it cost
$1,800.
Merideth
says he stood his ground: "I had my 40 mm Glock on me and they started
toward me and I told them, 'If you cross my sidewalk, there's gonna be
another shooting.'"
There
appears not to have been another shooting. However, Merideth was
arrested for wanton endangerment and criminal mischief. There is,
apparently, a local ordinance that says you can't shoot a gun off in the
city, but the police charged him under a Kentucky Revised Statute.
Shocking Find Made By Archeaologists
I
have contacted both the Hillview Police Department and the FAA to ask
for their view on proceedings. I will update, should I hear.
The FAA's recommendations
include not flying above 400 feet and "Don't fly near people or
stadiums." The FAA adds: "You could be fined for endangering people or
other aircraft."
For
his part, Merideth says he will sue the drone's owners. He told WRDB:
"You know, when you're in your own property, within a six-foot privacy
fence, you have the expectation of privacy. We don't know if he was
looking at the girls. We don't know if he was looking for something to
steal. To me, it was the same as trespassing."
It is, indeed, hard to know whether things that buzz in the sky have positive or negative intentions. Amateur drones disrupted efforts to fight recent California wildfires to such a degree that there's now a $75,000 reward for anyone who identifies those responsible. A Southern California lawmaker has created a bill that would make it legal for the authorities to shoot these drones out of the sky.

PISTOL SHOOTING TIPS
Tip: Trigger Pull Technique
“Pulling the trigger” is the action the operator performs to discharge a firearm. While very simple in concept, it creates problems for most shooters, even experienced ones.
“Pulling the trigger” is the action the operator performs to
discharge a firearm. While very simple in concept, it creates problems

Let me give you the basics first:
However, if you “jerk” or “flinch” before or at the instant you fire the gun, the shot will most probably head somewhere other than where intended.
In my experience, a good trigger pull is one of, if not the most important aspect of shooting well.
Serious shooters spend many, many hours perfecting their trigger pulling. Top marksmen can pull the trigger so well they never move the gun out of alignment.
New shooters have a tendency to pull the trigger in an abrupt manner that can move the gun quickly out of alignment and cause the shot to miss.
The old adage of “aim and squeeze the trigger slowly” is a perfect place to start for the new shooter.
Let me give you the basics first:
- Hold the gun firmly with your proper grip
- Align the sights on the target
- Place the center of the first pad of your trigger finger on the trigger
- Begin pressing the trigger rearward, smoothly, without moving anything else (or while moving everything else as little as possible)
- Once you have created enough pressure on the trigger, it will move (sometimes imperceptibly) until the striker, firing pin or hammer in the gun is activated and starts the ignition process, firing the gun.

Tip: Shooting Stance
To a great degree, how you stand may be dictated by your physical condition and surroundings.
To a great degree, how you stand may be dictated by your
physical condition and surroundings. However there are a few key points
you should try to address when developing your shooting stance.
We feel most comfortable when standing with equal weight on both feet and with our weight more on the heels than the balls of the feet. This is how our musculature is designed to hold our weight, with the joints more or less fully extended, or locked. This requires the least amount of muscle to keep us upright. However, this is NOT the optimal position for controlling and quickly shooting a hand gun.
Side-to-side: Typically, a hip-width distance between each foot is comfortable and stable.
Knees can be bent or locked, although I usually bend mine a little.

This is how our musculature is designed to hold our weight, with the joints more or less fully extended, or locked. This requires the least amount of muscle to keep us upright. However, this is NOT the optimal position for controlling and quickly shooting a hand gun.
Arm Position:
Arms should be fully extended when possible, but not necessarily locked out. Shoulders should be relaxed, not up around your ears.Leg and Foot Position:
Front-to-back: Strong-hand side leg is rearward of other leg about 12 – 18 inches . The amount varies depending on each shooters level of balance, weight and strength.Side-to-side: Typically, a hip-width distance between each foot is comfortable and stable.
Knees can be bent or locked, although I usually bend mine a little.
Body Position:
Your torso should lean forward slightly with no more than a small amount of bending forward at the waist. NEVER bend backwards at waist, hip or shoulder area. Shoulders should always be forward of the hips.Balance:
Your weight needs to have a forward bias to counteract the kick of the gun. The idea is to get in a position that allows you to be active against the rearward force of the gun firing (recoil). This will enable you to control the gun properly and quickly return it from muzzle rise and recoil to the position back on target. The gun should never push you back so much that you become off-balance. If this happens, you need to move your balance and body position forward.Grip:
Hold the gun tightly – tighter than you might think. This is, in my experience, the most common problem with new shooters. Grip is covered in detail in a separate blog.Tip: Sight Alignment
By definition, a sight is a device used to assist aligning or the aiming of firearms, and is typically composed of two components, front and rear aiming pieces that have to be lined up.Very simply put, the sights indicate where the gun is pointed. They are what we use to aim the gun.
The sights are comprised of the little post on the front of the slide (front sight) and the notched blade (rear sight) on the rear of the slide. There are many different kinds of sights, but the iron sights on all Springfield Armory® pistols are “post and notch” and therefore align the same.
Sights come in several sizes, shapes and colors; Some are all black, others have fiber optic tubes, painted dots or even inserts that glow in the dark. Most shooters quickly begin to favor one type of sight over another and their gun choice may actually be determined based on the sights.
Aligning The Sights:
Properly aligning the sights on the target gives you the orientation or exact location / position the gun will shoot the bullet when fired. Many shooters refer to this a the “sight picture”.So, how do you create the perfect sight picture?
- Properly grip the gun and hold it at arms length.
- Visually align the front sight post in the rear sight notch.
- The top of the rear and front sights should be on the same plane or level.
- The gap of light between the sides of the front sight and inside vertical edge of the rear notch should be equal.
- Once you have aligned the sights with each other, place the sights on the target where you want the impact of the bullet to go. You are now ready to shoot!
Adjusting The Sights:
Our guns’ sights are typically regulated so the bullet will impact at the top of the front sight, with proper sight alignment. Many pistol models come with sights that can be adjusted to change the point of impact.Brookings to host NRA Youth Sportsfest
Brookings to host NRA Youth Sportsfest
BROOKINGS - The 13th annual NRA Youth Sportsfest
will be held on Saturday, August 8, from 1-5 p.m. at the Brookings Gun
Club, located two miles east of Brookings on U.S. Highway 14.
Various activities for youth to
participate in include trap shooting, skeet shooting, air rifle/air
pistol shooting and 3-D archery, black powder shotgun and tomahawk
throwing.
Animal and bird identification will be
presented by the Wildlife and Fisheries Conservation Club, reloading
demonstrations and range (distance) demonstrations by the National Wild
Turkey Federation. The Fire Department and Brookings County Sheriff’s
Department will be on hand to allow youth to explore a fire truck and
police vehicle.
All youth ages 18 years and under are
invited to attend. The Sportsfest is free of charge to all youth
attending and will use monies from a grant received from the NRA
Foundation’s South Dakota State Fund Committee to help fund this event.
Various stations for youth will be set
up including a 4-H station where air pistol, air rifle and archery are
offered. No experience is necessary, and all firearms, ammunition and
targets are provided. This is an event where skilled and experienced
volunteer instructors share what they enjoy with youth.
One of the goals is to increase the interest in shooting sports and love of the outdoors starts at a young age.
“Last year we had duck blinds set up
where youth truly experienced shooting in a hunting atmosphere. This
brought a lot of excited smiles to youth participating and the adults
watching,” said Jon Greseth, Chairman of the Sportsfest.
A highlight of this event is Ed
Krueger’s hunting dog demonstration. The excitement of the hunt, using
well trained dogs, offers knowledgeable advice to those interested in
this sport.
