Everyone can actually fire a gun. Doing it with skill is a whole 'nother story.

Here's a crash course to get ya actually hittin the target, not just scaring the bajeebus out of it. It's a pretty simple rule actually.

BRAS

Breathe in, and out to steady your muscles
Relax, don't be afraid of the kick, noise, missing, etc.
Aim at the target
Squeeze the trigger. Don't jerk.

Basically, here's how it works.

As your breathe, take in a normal breath. Let it out slowly until you hit the point where you are comfy. You've got a 5 second window here where your breathing will not move your sights any.

Relax and concentrate. Don't anticipate anything. Just keep your focus. If you lose focus, go ahead and breathe again.

Aim. And keep it. Line your sights up on your target and make sure they stay there.

Squeeze. When you squeeze the trigger, don't pull it on purpose to make the gun shoot. What I mean is, let it surprise ya. Just keep adding gentle, steady pressure until eventually the gun goes off.

While you're adding more and more pressure, watch your front sight as it sits on the target. Don't think or look at anything else but that sight on the target and keep squeezing more and more, gradually and gentle, until BANG!

When the gun fires, and your sights are still on the target, you WILL hit. I don't care if you're standing, kneeling, lying down, jumping on a trampoline or hanging from the roof of a building upside down.

Remember your BRAS and you will do just fine.

Make your stepdad shoot with ya again and give it a try, Varkolak. Don't get discouraged, it takes practice.

And as the gun fires, don't close your eyes or look away from those sights. That's called follow through.

LOL yeah...that was me being sarcastic...PLEASE no one fire a gun while running, jumping on a trampoline, hanging upside down or any other stupid crap I mentioned.

That totally goes against firearms safety.

But do try it out. It'll help.

Oh yeah, good old sheltering and over protecting.

Its been a few years now since I was in school, so I don't think they realized how much they could get sued for. They must have crapped a purple turkey when they did find out.

Still, this place is really redneck.

A good example, I took my gunsmithing courses AT the high school.

Yeah. Gun courses. Weapons lockers. In the high school.

Go figure, no one EVER did anything wrong with one the whole time the school has been open. Probably makes a good deterrant too. I mean, if someone wanted to go Columbine he would know he'd have the gunsmith kids on his ass.
