Okay. You must be nearly as good as they guys who made it. A small group, for sure. That truly is impressive.

There are pros, too. But it doesn't matter. Because by your own admission above, you're not quite as good as they are.

I'm not trying to pick on you. You're clearly a better shooter than I'll ever be. But as I said, I don't think it's just a matter of shooting skill. I can't stop thinking about what the likely outcome would be, given the unpredictable nature of a number of dogs running around in close range to you on a moving bicycle, while you shoot at them with a "snappy" DAO pistol. Every scenario I mentally run through ends up with you on the ground, likely with a gunshot wound in your leg.

I sincerely hope it works out for you. I'm hoping you pull it off unscathed. Please report back.
