That happened to me once. A friend of mine borrowed her father's pistol and wanted to go the range to learn to shoot. Since she was very pretty, I agreed.

After watching her shoot a couple of targets I asked her if she was lining up the sights. "What do you mean lining up?", she asked. After drawing a quick diagram she kept them all on the target. She was a quick study.
And I bet you were watching the gun the whole time. :thumbs2:
I knew I would get in trouble because of that comment. :oops:

Of course I was. I am the only person here who is professional enough handle that task. :mrgreen:

I might add that I started her out with a .22LR High Standard Semiautomatic pistol. It was not until she could consistantly keep on target with the .22 that she tried the 1911.
