Are you sure you heard the "crack" before the cicada ?
When I got shot at practicing for a dual slalom race it was "zip" then a "pop". We would have to duck behind the berms until the rednecks that inhabited the area stopped shooting. Fucking Asheville...
Yep, most rifles fire usually from 2000-3000fps and beyond, well above supersonic, so usually you'll hear the bullet/impact first, then the crack of either the bullet being fired and the round breaking the speed of sound, or if it's a silenced rifle, you'll still hear a crack from the bullet traveling faster than sound when it leaves the barrel, after impact-if you are downrange. That's kind of what snipers and hunters rely on, otherwise the target would be startled. For a rifle round to drop to subsonic would be way out of normal range where one could aim with a rifle caliber. You can get .22s subsonic if you specifically buy that ammo and over a distance they are likely to drop subsonic because they don't travel much faster normally anyways. Big fat handgun rounds like .45 are usually subsonic too.

No kidding. I was here for the State Enduro championships and I did ride in Austin too. There is some good chunk here, but riding is few and far between. No mountains and I'm dying in this 70 degree heat.
Rifle crack came about three seconds later. Just enough time to say "what the fuck".
i got a appearance ticket for getting caught poaching a few Turkeys. I got greedy I guess. The DEC took the evidence. I am screwed $$ It was a good run however. No more Tasty turkeys....
Man I hate hearing how people have had poor encounters with hunters. I know I can speak for myself on this, I never take a questionable shot myself. Gotta know what I am shooting at, and what is beyond. If I do not know that I will not pull the trigger. That goes for rifle, shotgun or archery.
With that said, two more deer in the garage hanging tonight. Wifey got a nice mulee first thing in the morning then I got a lil whitetail doe. Main rifle season is over this weekend, but elk has a shoulder season in a lot of areas this year running till the new year.
We will see how it goes, but next week... I am done

@DirtyMike : garage freezer full? 
and it's beer time. The turkey was taken out of the brine rinsed dried then I chopped up an herb rub using rosemary from the garden, fresh garlic, coarse ground pepper, kosher salt, oregano, sage, thyme, and mustard in an olive oil base, and applied it under the skin. It will go into the oven at 5 am
Once these two are done and processed, I could probably still fit an elk, or a couple more good size whitetail doe's. The section I actually live in goes till Jan 15th for those doe's.@DirtyMike : garage freezer full?
I thought you were sober, Eric?

Currently throwing back sleepy pills with scotch, what could go wrong?
