First Time Shooting?
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 12/1/2016 | Sam Morstan

We normally encourage people to try something new, but..
Oh no.

You can see it in how he holds the gun even before he brings it up.

In the wobble, and the uncertain look he gives the camera, and the sniggering behind the camera:

This guy shouldn’t hold a gun.

He probably shouldn’t even hold a stapler.

Then he holds it aaalllll the way out, and you realize he’s settling to take the shot that way. The boomstick goes bang, The back end smacks into his cheek/chin, and it’s amazing his ass doesn’t hit grass.

Friends don’t let friends crack their jaws while shooting. Shoot responsibly! I feel like I need an icepack just watching this. Ouch. See the video here.

Step 1: Hold the weapon as far away from you as possible (after all, they're dangerous)

Was this his first shot? If so, the person who took him out deserves an immediate punch in the face. If he has shot before, then it’s on him.

Punch in the face?

No, he deserves a thorough working over with a nightstick, followed by few kicks in the groin ...

Reminds me of what some co-workers did to a dirt farmer years ago. He allowed them to hunt on his place, and mentioned he had never fired a gun in his life, and wondered if they would let him shoot one of theirs just once!
They agreed.(Big mistake for the farmer)
They told him to hold the rifle loosely, and keep the butt stock several inches away from his shoulder.
When he pulled the trigger, the recoil slammed his shoulder hard, knocked him down and he dropped the rifle.

They laughed and laughed. When they told us about it, I thought it was a cruel trick.

Has he never even seen a movie showing someone shooting a rifle? I think he did it intentionally, stupid as that is.

This moron shooting a sawed off shotgun like it was a pistol is really good.

I’ve got a 50 A&E for him to try out.

Amusement value.

Poor guy needs some serious instruction with an unloaded weapon.

Idiots. Did he still let them hunt on his land?

Exactly if it was his first time the person who lent him the firearm and didn’t give him proper instruction is to blame.

One of the best ways to turn a non gun person into a pro gun person is having them shoot a firearm properly.

The best way to turn them into a hard go anti is to set them up for failure.

I wonder if this was hold my beer moment and lets see what happens when I hold a hard recoiling rifle like a pistol.
