[QUOTE="sheepdawg, post: 1910078, member: 98888"] I am greatly indebted for all of you taking the time to responding to this post. You have all offered some great tips and points that I had not considered. I grew up in rural CA, the eastern sierra mountains, and my father was a three tours of combat Vietnam Vet who was a gun nut. We shot guns every free moment growing up, but for some reason, my younger brother could not shoot worth a d@mn. He would roll his head over the stock (weird) and he could not hit stationary targets. When it came to the shotgun, I don't think he ever hit a clay pidgeon. Being the older brother, I hazed the hell out of him. He eventually just quit shooting. To this day, he doesn't even own a firearm. I am pretty sure he hates firearms. When I went to range master school, I learned about left eye dominance, and immediately thought of my younger brother. I felt bad for all the hell I gave him. Needless to say, I was the @ssh0le big brother. A few years ago, I had him do a simple eye dominance test and low and behold, he was left eye dominant. I told him I was sorry for the decades of teasing him for his lack of shooting skill. Even offered to take him shooting. No surprise, he was not interested. He has raised four kids and they are all not shooters and they all live in the bay area of California. I learned my lesson the hard way and I do NOT want to have my son go though what my younger brother did. I want to keep it fun and hope that he learns to enjoy and respect firearms. [/QUOTE]
