Re: Must read for all conscientious gun owners

nice article something i wish people would read before heading to the range. While the vast majority of people are courteous and know what they are doing there is always the person who seems new and can't hit a thing.
I've briefly said something to someone who was having a problem before with their pistol and have offered them to try mine but usually everyone sticks to themselves.

I for one would welcome someone coming to me and saying hey i see you're doing X when you are firing, try this out and see. Just friendly advice goes a long way.

I was at elm fork once right before my CHL came in the mail and I wanted to get used to the carry gun I purchased a lil pm9. Still fairly new myself to the sport and certainly new to firing something so small I wasn't doing too hot.
Everything was on paper for sure and I wasn't a danger to anyone but I could do better. Thats when the gentleman next to me approached me during a target change and asked about what I had, etc and we had a friendly conversation.
He then said he saw me flinching some during my trigger pull and offered some advice on how to avoid that. The rest of that afternoon was probably the most pleasant experience I've ever had at the range, we were talking the entire time tried out each-others pistols and I came away knowing more and having improved my skills with my new carry weapon.
