That’s cute!

But just in case you didn’t recognize it, and please forgive me for the explanation if you do, that (”aim small, miss small”) was a famous line from Mel Gibson’s movie “The Patriot,” where he was instructing his young’un how to shoot, and his words, which I’d never heard before but make a lot of sense, were “Aim big, miss big. Aim small, miss small.” So if you sorta aim at the whole person, you miss the whole person—aim big, miss big. But if you aim for a specific small target, say the dead center of the chest, you’ll be more accurate—a miss there (and there will be misses) will still be effective, hitting the lungs, or liver/spleen, or neck—”aim small, miss small.” Focusing on a small spot to hit also takes your mind off what you’re doing, and helps calm frightened people who are just shooting in the general direction of the enemy.
