    And that's why translations of 'dead'  languages are suspect.

    I think this is the chart that every shooting range 'expert' uses when they are 'helping' a new shooter on the station next to them.

     

     

    (guy with new pistol): Man, these sights suck!  I need to get them adjusted!

    (me, looking at target):  Looks more like your mechanics, mostly jerking or slapping the trigger, maybe a flinch in there, too.

    (guy with new pistol): I don't flinch!  And I don't slap the trigger!
    (me) Here, let me reload your magazines and let me watch you shoot the next one. (slips a few random snap caps into each magazine).  
    (gwnp) OK.  (hangs new target)  BANG! (7 o'clock, 6 ring) BANG! (7 o'clock, 8 ring) CLICK!  (pistol pointing at floor about half way to the target).  "Oh!"
