I had a dog trainer tell me that if the dog sits, doesn't sit,barks, doesn't bark, in short anything the dog does can be called a hit.
I get caught up in these things all the time.
Near as I can figure, they're "hitting" on my only hobby and source of enjoyment, which is primer and gunpowder residue, spent cartridges, or the smell of the gun(s) itself, which presents another problem.
