[ARCHIVED THREAD] - PICTURE(s) request please

Posted: 4/22/2010 12:11:25 PM EDT

I am re posting this from the general training discussion; please let me know if you are willing to cotribute. Thanks

I am looking for good high quality pictures from the members here on the forum to be used in a Mac Keynote presentation and a companion PDF formated workbook. The presentation is for a Rifle Merit Badge course that I will be teaching in my BSA troop. Pics i am most interested in are of competitors using safe rifle handling while at the line or during course of fire. AND, pics of shooters in standing, kneeling, sitting, prone and bench shooting positions. I need pics of good technique, finger off trigger(straight finger) and different images of rifles pointed in safe direction( down range and to the ground). I could pose the pics myself; but I believe the boys need to see the images while the rifle is actually being used. All rifle shooting disciplines are acceptable, including but not limited to: Highpower; Service Rifle; 3 gun(rifle only); air rifle; small bore and all forms of Olympic rifle shooting. These need to be pics in which you have sole ownership/rights to, and are willing to grant permission for publication in our materials. We will give full credit for pics in our reference section. So many pics I find are somewhat dated and of poor quality. I am hoping to put together a program that utilizes modern images that accurately depicts current rifles and equipment. That being said Garands and M1a's are more than welcome.

Since our program is in it's infancy, I want to be sure all the t's are crossed and the i's dotted with proper permission for image use. This presentation will be used for our troop and will not be for sale. We will however, make it available to any troop that has; or is starting a Rifle Merit Badge program at no cost. Please keep this in mind as these materials may eventually have a wide dissemination. If you are willing to contribute and accept these terms; please send me a IM, email or post them on the thread. Your option. Thanks in advance.

Here's a few starters - none of which are probably publishable quality. Note that AR15.com resizes - follow the url for the larger version. I took them, so I hold the copyright, which I extend with my perrmission to the project you describe in your OP.
