Here's my mental image of the handful of posters in this thread who have racked up dozens of comments going after Taran Butler full-bore:

http://ci.memecdn.com/8466317.jpg

I honestly don't know what some of you think you have to gain personally by tearing this guy down when he's done a good job of that all on his own. It just reads like piling on at this point, and smacks of more than a little bit of jealousy over seeing some other dude living the life (though he's not living it any longer thanks to having some of his private life made public without his consent).

Watching some of y'all clutch your pearls is like watching a bunch of gossipy old hens in a sewing circle.

Point being, A) Doogie Howsers of the gun world are the exception, not the norm and B) how many 18 year olds that are talented enough to be a firearms instructor right out of the gate at a major Hollywood training house can't win any matches? Might there be some other... mitigating circumstance... which allowed them to be an instructor?

You don’t have to win a bunch of major matches to be an instructor working for someone who has won them. Nobody signs up for training at Taran tactical because his assistants are so good. She can certainly shoot well enough to impress your average Hollywood type. Not to mention the fact that having attractive young ladies around Is part of his business model. If she had won a bunch of major matches she would likely have her own school.

50% isn’t that pretty low? USPSA scoring was always a little hard for me to understand and I never cared enough to look into it.

At a big match like Nationals if you looked at the pistol divisions where would someone with 50% minutes f the winners score(or second place) usually fall?

I propose it is reasonable if we consider;

She worked with him for 3 years beyond the time this video was filmed,
She purportedly had an open relationship with TB and possibly even lived with him,
There’s been no social media/internet scandal before this based on the father beating the shit out of her boyfriend

The father could have disowned her because of this or something else, no clue what their relationship is,
He may have known about the relationship and didn’t care because TB was a friend, and he trusted the friend not to hurt his daughter,
He may have known, expressed his dislike for it, and watched carefully on the sidelines so as not to scare away his little girl

These are reasonable assumptions, assumptions being things not based on specific knowledge of the subject, but listed as possibilities

Had my daughter been dating a guy/friend of 47/48 at the time, I would not be pleased with it, but there would be some tough choices to make.  Would I break his nose...50/50 chance, and I only say that because I’m pretty cool headed, but it would piss me off.  Would I express my discomfort to my daughter and the dude, yes.  If she was fine and not in danger, would I keep a close eye on the situation and bite my tongue in hopes of not damaging my relationship with my daughter...not sure?  I never had to be in this situation, so who knows, but I have had to deal with shitty boyfriends before and it is a line to be treaded lightly, that’s all I’m saying...

There are very very few fathers who would be perfectly okay with this.

More assumptions, yet you still admit it would piss you off meaning there's SOMETHING creepy about it...

It's confusing, but essentially the person with the highest points per second score (hit factor) gets the total points for the stage. Say 11 targets or 22 alphas is 110 points. Everyone else gets a percentage of points based on their comparative hit factor.

Say Taran gets 110 points in 10 seconds, that's an 11 hit factor and if that's the highest, he gets 110 points for the stage (even if he shot 109 or less if he has the highest hit factor, he gets them all in his division).

That means with a PCC, practically no reloads, no recoil, optic, but minor scoring.

50% of points would be approx. a 15 second run at 80 points (11 alphas, 7 charlies, and 4 deltas) that's a 5.333 hit factor. Which is 48.48% of that 11 hit factor. Make it 14.54 seconds and she gets a 5.5, and 5.5/11 x100 is 50%.

So 70% of the speed and 72% of the points if that was what happened.
