A fore end light, tac sling AND a tactical sight!! Wow! Are you a police officer..and the big question is, who paid for those toys? Our dept doesn't even provide a sling for our shotguns...

Nice shot..er...picture! I like the cropped version better too.

Yes, this was a police exercise. Actually, our department paid for those toys. They supply our weapons, tactical vest, helmet and some other incidentals, but we buy most accessories on our own.

So what do you do if you have to transition from shotgun to handgun. Do you throw it on the ground?:shock:

Thanks for compliment.

What grabs me is the shotgun's recoil pad not firmly placed on the shooter's shoulder.

would you consider a crop around the area of the cartridge being ejected with it frames towards the right hand side to give it a sense of movement, i personaly find my eye drawn to wards it and then in the large area surounding it gets abit lost.

just a newbies 2c

hey
ill try and give it ago over the week end if i get the time, this crop is much better as you can tell from every one else. if you are worried about the head you could try shifting the crop up and to the left slightly but i wouldnt do it by much, the only thing is you will reintraduce the blown out spot on the top of his helmet.

Yup! We toss 'em to the ground. I bought my own light, grip and sling, so I won't toss my shotgun. At least they were kind enough to buy slings for our rifles, I guess they don't want us tossing them, they cost more!

Love the crop of this shot, it's more 'personal' and emotive than the uncropped version...

Makes you feel as if you're on the range with the shooter.

Great shot! I like the cropped version much better.

Where in PA are you located, if you don't mind me asking?

Nice shot! I like the cropped version better as well. It really gives the cartridge movement over the full pic.

Bucks County, PA. We're just north of Philadelphia and Bucks runs along the Delaware River if your not familiar with the area. There are 54 Municipalities in Bucks and I work for one of them.
