[QUOTE="Small Lady, post: 2939018, member: 126670"] A couple years ago I took a gun safety/shooting/hunting course, the instructor was a very nice older gentleman. On day 1 as we are sitting in the classroom, he said to us " never sight in a rifle by having 1 person stand down by the target, to yell back instructions on where the bullets are hitting ". Well I am a curious type, and figured that if he felt a need to actually tell us that tidbit of info, there just had to be a story behind it, so asked why he felt the need to bring it up. He said well, about 15 years ago that he had a couple in his course, and they were planning to buy rifles, and then take up hunting. The guy was planning to have his wife stand down range near the target so she could see the hits and yell back if it was low, high, left, right, and how much. He said he felt sick just hearing about this plan, and adamantly told them to never ever do that, and ever since he has felt the need to teach everyone else not to do that. There was no laughing, and not a word spoken by anyone in my class, just silence, even our instructor just stood silently for about 30 seconds....then said okay lets move on. There was nothing but shock by all of us upon hearing that story. [/QUOTE]
