Old people should learn something every day...


It is good to feel like you know everything you need to know, or if you don't know it (go to the reference librarian and ask) it isn't really worth knowing anything about. But I learned something, about shooting, that I realized when it was seriously offered as a solution I didn't know but did need to get on it - the next trip to the range. Seems I haven't been as open eyed as I thought I was. Most of Sight picture and Sight Alignment I could quote and I could yawn listening to that young soldier talk about it. But when he talked about his coach telling him that he shut his eyes during his shot, and that was why he didn't see the brass ejecting, he had an answer for better follow through that worked for him. And that gem is one of the best I am going to treasure and polish. Go forth and do likewise!
