Mungler Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Oh mate, your such a donut. The instructor is testing for eye dominance and anyone who shoots *will* have had this done. Take my word for it and this is not me being rude or blunt, but just delete your post. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and have it confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invector Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 If you want to experience barrel pointing, try working in a gunshop!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Trust me, that gun is empty and will have been checked by both the instructor and shooter first. I had to do it to a BASC coach at a game fair once and I must say it felt a little uncomfortable, but it's all part of getting started. Any other time it's not acceptable so although you're new to this subject, at least you give it some thought and voiced your concerns. It shows you have good safety awareness, even if it is a little off target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the last engineer Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 now im quite new to shotguns but this is just bloody stupid it appears that the instructor is looking @ the gun mount but hes looing down the barrel of a gun some novice is holding , yehh i know its prob unloaded but i would never point a gun @ anyone ever loaded or not we all make mistakes and theres only 1 chance with a silly practice like this ,,, the point is where this picky is its on the main homepage ov a Corporate Clay Pigeon Shooting club with the claim All of our Coaches are qualified by the CPSA ... now my appologys if im wrong but this is stupid right SILLY OR NOT ? well dounut,,,,sausage,,, and so on, i guess you know now right. its a very common practice by coaches/instructors, not only for eye dom but alignment and mount, this give's us a "scuse the pun" shot at correcting mount faults with new shooters, and seeing where they are actualy pointing. couldnt help that one,,,,,,,,,, :o one in the eye for you right.....i crack myself up, you can tell its the end of the week .

Mungler Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 The sequence of events is everything. I read your earlier post about buying a gun before getting your SGC and then getting arsey with the RFD's who wouldn't take it. You have a habit of leaping before looking. So to summarise today's event: 1. your local RFD's are not "touchy, unhelpful or full of bad attitude" 2. the CPSA instructor in the photo from Corporate Clay Pigeon Shooting club is not "stupid" Do you see the theme developing? Saying "Woops I've done it again" would have defused the situation in a self deprecating way. Having a pop back and making out that you are just a novice and therefore immune from all criticism is poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had left out the statement, and asked in a less direct way you'd have gotten a different response. It really is a nice place with helpful people on here but it's not a creche.

jayward Posted September 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 ahh @ least your observant so yehh i purchsed a gun b4 i had my SGL **legaly** some reason you fail to mention that fact humm i didnt mention if i was arsey did i ? in fact i was polite even tho some advise from RFD was incorrect , i may have been hasty its a trate thats made/saved me quite a lot of money a few s$$ty insults will not have me addressing my conduct .

Griff36 Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 You need to calm down a bit and stop posting stupid post's!!, I had my FLO visit on Wednesday for my SGC (Granted ) one of the questions was "when is the only time you can point your shotgun at somebody?" I suggest that you start swatting up on gun safety (no offence but you obviously need to), I held an FAC until 6 years ago and let it slip due to new wife and kids and I got grilled good and proper by the FLO for my SGC. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on this forum and if you ask the right questions you will get the right answers :o I suggest that you engage your brain before your fingers, I know that you are new to this forum and so I'am I, please do not put the regulars off the nubies by coming up with stupid post's. Many thanks from all the nubies and myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pin Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 Listen Jay mate, you got off on the wrong foot. I am sure we will all get on just fine if you drp the txt spk plz lol and stop being too enthusiastic. Most people wait until they have an SGC before trying to buy a gun, perhaps you think that's not on but at the end of the day we all did it the other way I'd wager. Just chill, take a bit of criticism on the chin and stop being so alarmed when someone on the internet winds you up, it's what it's for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
