I took my dad out to the desert and filmed myself teaching him to shoot long range. It's a pretty interesting video! I'm super proud of him. He did really well for a 70 year old guy with back problems. Check it out!
Great time with your Dad. Never pass on those times. He will be gone sooner than you think. Sure he spent hours and hours teaching you in your early years. Life roles reverse. Great to return the favor. Thanks for sharing your time together.
That's cruel making the old guy hold the steel plate. Now we know why you took him along..... Thought that was what GFs/wives were for..... Ditch the glasses and you have....ME!!!! ....except for the not owning rifles and shotguns.....foreign concept.
But, gotta have some FUN with your teaching....
Got him in the "little green army man" position. Proper position is square behind the rifle to better manage recoil. Poor recoil management is major inaccuracy factor.
"Bullet is long gone before recoil impacts shooter".....NOT. Recoil is the action-reaction of Newton's Laws of Motion. Recoil begins and builds as bullet accelerates down barrel opposing bullet motion. No recoil; no bullet motion. Bullet exits barrel; pressure thrusting bullet and rifle drops; recoil gone.
Rifle butt on meaty part of shoulder...really??? In the pocket is right. Show us the shoulder bruises afterward.
Leave bolt open/use chamber flag...rather than closed bolt when down range.
