My experience from visiting Turkey is that they love cats. People even leave food and water out for the strays.
this_1_is_mine@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Well feed.cats hunt for fun. Hungry kitty hunts generally only enough to eat.

Aren’t dogs a dirty animal in Islam? Since Turkey is 90+% Muslim that’d skew stats towards cats as pets.

But most importantly, he passed the vibe checc

His name is Yusuf Dikeç, he was in the 10m air pistol men and mixed team events. The silver was in the mixed team event, won alongside teammate Şevval İlayda Tarhan. Despite what appears to be an exceptionally successful sport shooting career otherwise, he seems to have struggled in prior Olympic games ("struggled" relative to "qualified for the goddamn Olympics" of course) but apparently he was just on the ball this time

This is the type of character you see in an anime and you scoff as unrealistic. I stand corrected
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Heh. You made me use ten percent of my power, pretty good.
barsquid@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Someone starts getting close to his score, “interesting! I haven’t had a match like this in a long time,” and he switches gun hands.

Isn’t aiming with both eyes open the way to do it? I learned to do that in the military to keep your situational awareness and never stopped. Also, it works really well with a holographic sight, like you’ve got the red dot / reticule floating on the target.
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Both eyes open is great for the real world. Olympic target shooting is a very different animal. Don’t think of it like normal shooting. Situational awareness is not a factor. Unlike practical shooting, tunnel vision is desired. Most shooters wear covers to obscure the off side eye. They are focusing on absolutely lining up the physical sights, no optics in Olympic pistol shooting.
Yeah the hand in pocket is pretty common in Olympic shooting. Unfortunate that it got pointed out as it undercuts the rest of the valid unusualness of the setup.

Your eye is still open under that flap though, no? I dabbled in Olympic pistol shooting back when I was doing across-the-course service rifle, and I was told to always keep both eyes open by the dude teaching me. Same for service rifle (and later palma). I always found that closing one of your eyes fucks up your focusing. If you don't have the little flappy dealy, you just do your best to defocus/deprioritize the view out of your non-dominant eye. I actually went for quite a while without any sort of cover because it helped me avoid cross firing (which is probably more of an issue with across-the-course than with Olympic pistol).
You're absolutely right about the lack of spectacles though. This guy is one hell of a marksman.
Aqarius@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Yeah, every time someone mentions the hand-in-pocket thing it’s “ah, you don’t know what this event is”. Same with that one about holding the gun with both hands.
yemmly@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Depends on whether the targets are shooting back.
GBU_28@lemm.ee 11 months ago
Why would a target marksmen need during awareness?

voldage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
He looks like he commented to someone doing this sport professionally that it look easy and now, with a bit of disdain and irritation, he had to show them what he meant by that
Wilzax@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Both eyes open can be better for your aim if you can resolve both images of the sights and place the target exactly between the images. Takes practice but seems to have a higher skill ceiling
Im_old@lemmy.world 11 months ago
So he’s just silently telling everyone “skill issue”? 😄

You can. Most instances run image hosting too.

Next time you can just upload the image and it will embed it in your comment.
FWIW your link worked just fine. Also disallowing hotlinking is the decision of the web server hosting the image, not Lemmy.

His hand is in his pocket to stabilize the swing from his massive dong 🍆

Opps, my huge gun was off target due to my magnum dong.

He has to synchronize his breathing with that swinging pendulum before he can time his shot.

werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I heard the US lost. They should have sent cops. Then just paint a black man as the target 🎯. 19 shots hit, and only needed one for gold.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 11 months ago
19 hits but 200 bullets fired.

Many in the crowd hit, they had to redirect fire to the target

Well, they make it IN high school

Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Unless they arrive a little late save, upon hearing the sound of gunfire coming from within the stadium, barricade themselves outside and wait for the shooters to run out of bullets or targets.
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 11 months ago
They only do that if it’s kids.

Both eyes make a huge difference if you want to switch between moving targets, so it makes sense in a military setting

If you have your hand in your pocket you go to the ‘target’ side of the range.

Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’m not saying it’s good practice, but you can fire .22 LR without getting ringing in your ears. I’d never do it all day, but I’ve definitely done it a couple times just to get an idea how loud it is. The dude can probably hear fine. I’m not saying it won’t catch up to him though.

I can’t be that stable with my arm held out in any circumstances but this seems like an incredibly fun sport.
10m air pistol. Accuracy is what counts. It ain’t your American shootin that’s for sure
random_character_a@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not that impressed, but still quite cool.
If somebody did the same in competitive rifle shooting I’d be astonished…and no don’t mean you need to keep one hand in the pocket.
Nikls94@lemmy.world 11 months ago
We should make some “cash-lympics” where some random people from every nation within the desired age are invited for free to just compete, with no training whatsoever. It would certainly be as fun/exciting as watching this dude
setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think MXC essentially provides that experience.
