Learning the rules the hard way

Post by baldeagle »

Foul language, so I can't post here. What's rule #1?

What an idiot. Here is the way to not shoot yourself:

1. Unload weapon. Verify weapon is unloaded.
2. Practice drawing. Hundreds of times. Practice proper indexing while drawing. Dont put finger on trigger. Dont. Dont.
3. Insert snap caps into mag. Keep practicing.
4. After several hundred dry draws, and several hundred snap cap draws, go to range.

From the comments

"...its not even a real person and you still manage to get shot."

I admit, I laughed at that one.

As stated above, duplicate topic so locking and discussion can move to that one.
