"Serious" Shotguns 101...

[Sir Galahad]

Yes, I know.

 

[Nippy]

Are they on seperate racks like a his and her towel that would actually be cool

 

[Sir Galahad]

In a roundabout sort of way, yes, actually. Except it's a shelf.

I pretty much gave up on my wife being a help in a defensive situation when I couldnt get her to shoot at anything but the knees when I take her target shooting.

 

[Soap]

ShaiVong, have you tried dryfiring extensively?

 

[ShaiVong]

I'm missing your point, i think.

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

shaivong: is she doing it on purpose or because she has a horrible flinch?

 

[Nippy]

A little higher and she'd be deadly...

 

[Dave McCracken]

Shaivong, do both of you a favor and get her some lessons from a qualified instructor.. Spouses should not try to teach spouses, too much history. Also,many good shooters are poor teachers, no offense intended.

 

[ShaiVong]

No, she doesnt have a bad flinch, she actually aims for the knees.

She has been ingrained (via her parents) with such a powerfull aversion to violence, that she will not use a method of defence that has the posibility to kill her attacker.

She has stated several times that she would much rather be killed by somebody, then kill to defend herself. :banghead:


Hence, even shooting at silhouette targets, she will only shoot at the knees.

I shoot at the head

Dave- what are your feelings on a grip actuated laser aiming device for a HD shotgun? That way you just pull the trigger when the dot is in the right spot. It might have deterrent effect as well- I'd cease activity with a red dot on my chest!

 

[Cameron Lamont]

I'd cease activity with a red dot on my chest!

I'd cease with a shotgun pointed at mine...

Lazers are expensive,fragile,and require batteries. I like things simple on stuff that may need to be operated fast and well, with severe consequences for glitching.

OTOH, I saw an article recently where two small revolvers, both carry guns, were fitted with lazers, and fast COFs showed a BIG improvement in accuracy and no loss of time. I find that quite interesting.

I'd prefer to have a good light myself, but the idea seems worthy of testing.

 

[dport]

How many people honestly look down at their chest in order to notice the red dot?

 

[ShaiVong]

I walk around staring at my chest constantly, just for that reason.
