Easy, sleep, less.

A little more than that!  I have to make a trip here!

I guess something else is involved, aside from "hold out your palms while I smack them w. a stick..."

Reinz:

I volunteer to be one of the assistant instructors for your course -- provided that I can use the teaching techniques employed by R. Lee Ermey as "Gunnery Sergeant Hartman" in FULL METAL JACKET. As such, before introducing you to the students, I could conduct preliminary proceedings somewhat along these lines:

[size=10]Assistant Instructor: A-ten-hut!

[Students come to attention.]

Assistant Instructor: Present Arms!

[Students unholster their R9s and hold them at the ready, muzzles pointed up, trigger fingers alongside the frame.]

Assistant Instructor: Pray!

Students: [chanting] This is my R9. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My R9 is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my R9 is useless. Without my R9, I am useless. I must fire my R9 true.  Amen.

Assistant Instructor: Order, hut!

[Students reholster their R9s.]

Assistant Instructor: Parade rest!

[Students adopt the parade-rest position awaiting your entrance.][/size]

 

Seriously, though, that is excellent advice and a very generous offer on your part.

Before you consider selling, or if you are struggling, PLEASE ask for help.  You will be so glad you did.

In fact, if anyone is near or willing to come to East Texas, I will spend all the time needed teaching you the proper techniques to make you feel comfortable shoooting the R9, free of charge.
 Just ask.

Hear!  Hear!  Reinz.  Excellent words!

Reinz, that is a very generous offer and I think it speaks volumes of the quality of the posters here on the Rohrbaugh forums.

I have taught quite a few people, including octogenarians, children, and several folks with compromised hand strength and/or mobility, how to shoot.  Many had never touched or even seen a firearm in person.  Some of those folks I've trained were not only deathly afraid of firearms but had a strong anti-gun bias.   A big, warm and friendly smile and a cajoling comment; "Look, you're a smart person, how can you have such a strong opinion without firsthand experience?"  "Let's at least try it and you can use that experience to speak on the matter more fluently, regardless of which side of the argument you choose."  "I promise I will be right by your side and I will make sure you are safe."


Folks like Reinz and others with a positive attitude and saintly patience do all of us a service when they offer share their experience.  Better trained and better informed shooters shed a better light on all of us gunners.  To be honest, I think we all should take firearms education very seriously and ensure we are part of the "good guy front" of responsible, informed gun owners.

You rock, Reinz!   A very sincere and heartfelt "Thank You" for your personal dedication and your offers to educate us!

[Reinz]

Thank you all for the kind words. I just feel that we all in this together and need to stick together.  And that our sport/right needs to grow not shrink.
