I'm sure it's just his teacher.  :onthequiet:

He decided that he wants to learn how to shoot the Beretta 92FS because "its got a hammer and looks cool and all the movie superheros shoot them."  lol  I mean, it's true and all but that aside, he's not used to shooting it, and screwed the pooch on the first 2 stages.  The first shot in double action takes some getting used to and he did get better as the day went on. 

 

That aside, have you ever coached your own kid?  I've done it with baseball and now shooting.  It's a million time easier (and usually more effective) to have someone else teach your kid.  Nick was chiding me as I shook my head at my kid. lol

You raise a very good point in that last paragraph.  I am far from an expert, but I was at a match where a woman was doing some things wrong and I talked to her husband about it.  I did not want to go up and correct someone's wife.  But when I told him he asked me to go tell her, as he figured it would have more value coming from someone other than him.  Sometimes family just won't listen, but they will when it comes from strangers.

I was trying to give him some basic pointers throughout the day, he has some bad habits he needs to break.

 

Again, from television - he has that Miami CSI cop stance.

That's one cross eye'd dominant ginger right there.

Taken my wife a couple of times to the range, i'm sure a kid would be easier to teach. :)

      Radios...?

      By Buck Russell · Posted

      If you’re going to VA, buy 2 radios.  Program one for here and one for there.  If you guys are buying Baofeng radios do yourself a favor and get a tactical antenna for it,it’ll extend your reach.

      Non-Hollowpoint? (Long)

      By GRIZ · Posted

      Both our memories are a bit lacking. 3 bystanders were hit by NYPD bullets and 6 were hit by fragments at the Empire State Building shooting. The bullets later were determined to have passed through the bad guy as I said. He was not a big guy. The police fired 16 rds and 7 hit the bad guy.  Spray and pray?  I think not.  These officers fired until the threat was stopped and everyone is moving. Have you ever tried to hit a moving target whilst you're moving.  If you watch the video from where the police encounter him, the BG draws his gun from his bag, NYPD guys shoot, and the BG hit the ground is about 2 or 3 seconds.  The closest officer is maybe 12 feet or less.  The closest cover are those concrete flower pots.  If the officers chose to take cover before drawing the BG would have had a chance to shoot at least one officer. Know your target and beyond?  Agree 100%.  However, this by the Empire State Building at 9 am during the week.  There are bystanders and traffic in every direction.  The officers had a choice of doing what they did or letting the BG shoot them with his 1911 and shoot someone else. I think they made the right choice and the same one I would have made.  The officers exercised the best option in protecting themselves and the public. The first video is the police shooting.  The second is more detailed and gives you a lot of background information on the shooter. One thing this shows is if NYPD had to use fmj undoubtedly more bystanders would have been wounded perhaps killed.  NJ's hollowpoint law. only creates more danger to the public.
