[QUOTE="HillsideDesolate, post: 3996149, member: 51737"] My grandfather was on the US Navy shooting team. When I was around 10 he took me to the woods to a recently logged clearing with a bunch of beer cans, and kept adding more as he emptyed them. He handed me a Browning 22 auto loading rifle, told me to never point it at anything I didn't want to kill and the barrel was safest straight up and straight down. He told me to pull the gun into my shoulder, think it of an extension of myself, focus on the front sight take a deep breath and let it out slowly, when all the air was out take the slack out of the trigger and squeeze slowly until it broke. I was hooked. I always start new shooters the same way with reactive targets. You got to have fun and build love for the sport before you can worry about grouping. [/QUOTE]
