lol! That's why semi-automatics are required for certain Olympic shooting events. Nope, no "serious" competitors at the Olympics, I'm sure. Rob Latham and Jerry Barnhart, not "serious" target shooters. lol!
The standard target rifle at the National High Power Championships at Camp Perry is the AR15 Service Rifle, which is available in both standard and match configurations. I'm sure none of the participants of the National Championships are "serious" marksman or target shooters, including eight-time
National High Power Rifle Champion David Tubb, who won using both bolt-action and semi-automatic high power rifles.
But you know, I'm sure compared to you, Tubb's a novice. lol!
That was just one of those profoundly stupid assertions that make you go 'Wow I'm such a dumbass! What was I thinking?' Sorta like 'No serious musician plays electric guitar or drums, they only play classical instruments like the piano or cello.'
Yeah buddy! You keep repeating that to yourself over and over in the mirror and it might even come true!
