I tried to pay attention to the generous wisdom of the experts I've been blessed to meet recently<BR/><BR/>meataxe - that target is smaller than an actual human outline. I don't know the scale, but I'd say at least by half. Will look at it again when I get home.

I don't know if it's genetic, or if it's just because they actually listen to their instructors.<BR/><BR/>Granted, this rule doesn't hold as well with the women I see at the range learning from their husbands and boyfriends. I've found that it's usually a bad idea to try to teach a spouse, girlfriend, or your own child. That's why a lot of us at the range swap up. I taught my friends kids, and he taught my wife.Laughingdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788824586959334168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3786818.post-77499141357884903522008-04-15T20:24:00.000-05:002008-04-15T20:24:00.000-05:00That is some nice shooting Ma'am.
