BAM-BAM:We've got to remember most of the younger generation learned to shoot......... with their thumbs..................
Not revolver related, but RE: shooting with their thumbs. A few years ago my fellow SCTP coaches and I were doing an afternoon clay target class with a bunch of Boy Scouts. We brought portable target throwers, a stack of Remington 1100's, ammo, targets, eye and ear protection....a one stop clay target shop.
We begin each class with a safety lecture and introductions. During the introductions, one particular Scout claimed to be an 'expert' who shot clay targets 'all the time.'
When this young man came to the head of the line it turned out that he couldn't hit the ground with his hat. No concept of what it was like to fire a real shotgun. I showed him how to stand, how to hold the shotgun, where to look, and began the process of walking him onto the target. (A high incoming teal presentation if you're curious)
After three shots that produced nothing but noise and clays flying happily away, the 'expert' stomped away proclaiming to everyone that "The one on my Nintendo works better!"
In 13 years of coaching this was the only time a student has ever left me without hitting a target. **Sigh**
