Well, at least the sling matches his outfit...

 

Hammer’s cocked  What could go wrong?
 

He looks like a Bob Dylan wannabe...

I hope that’s a big bore so they can enjoy true recoil.

I saw a guy get a box of ammo and go ask which gun would fit it.

The most expensive one. 

[Waymore Loco 2,295]

All the cheap stuff was gone. Nothing left but odd stuff. 

[DeaconKC 800]

One advantage to the not "tacticool" calibers.

The hardest thing for me to do when I'm coaching new shooters is get them to understand that the buttplate goes against their shoulder and they need to bend their head down to see the sights. That and teaching them to stop holding handguns halfway down the grip.

Or way up the grip behind the slide....

I don't see people doing that with their firing hand, but the "Charlie's Angles" hold with the support hand and thumb wrapped around the firing-hand wrist is sure popular with newbies. And yeah, they learn soon enough that's not a good idea. I learned that myself when I was 10yo and firing my dad's Ruger .22, and I still have a faint scar on my knuckle to this day.

[Sedalia Dave 10,765]

My lesson was learned about 45 years ago courtesy of a little 25 auto my dad had.

 

Took a very big chunk of hide out between my thumb and finger. Still hurts when I thing about it

[Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme 1,045]

Definitely some dental work for the bearded lad.

I only crossed my left thumb over my right thumb when firing a 1911 once. I am looking at the scar right now. 

 

A few years ago I made  friends with a guy that was an "Army Sniper and Military Police"  in Bosnia  back in the 90's. 

I took him shooting. He crossed his left thumb over his right when starting to fire my Glock. I  stopped him and reminded him what and autoloader will do if held that way when firing.

He said "Oh yeah"  then did it anyway. Good thing I had my first-aid kit.

He then decided he wanted to shoot one  of  my AR-15s. He didn't know much about about it.

He had  a hard time comprehending why the raised sights made a difference at short ranges as well as bullet drop vs distance.

I got him to admit that he  was an Army Cook. Not a Sniper or an MP.

That day was the last time we spoke.

I learned by watching another guy. I don't have scars on my thumb knuckles.

You would think that, but, no.  I tried to teach a guy to shoot and warned him about the potential problem before he fired a shot.  He did it anyway.  "I warned you not to do that.  Hurts, don't it?"  The next magazine he did the same thing.   He was a slow learner.  Proof that stupid CAN hurt you.

This looks like the same newbs I see at the gun counters... day late.. dollar short... and clueless.

[Pat Riot, SASS #13748 18,984]

This seems to be catching on...of course a pellet gun doesn't kick like a  30-30.

 

[Waymore Loco 2,295]

That one would be more fun to watch regardless of the result.

You have to hold it like that so you can get your eyeball closer the telescope thingee.
