Teachin'

Took a not-quite-a-new-shooter to the range yesterday with Marv.

It was a bit strange, I've known this person since she was nine.  She's 22 now.

She's mid-process of getting her CCW and is a little nervous about the shooting portion of the class.

She needn't have been.  She's a decent shot.

She's still making up her mind about if she's going to carry a snubby revolver or teeny 9mm, and has one of each.

She asked more questions about the law than the guns, which is a solid sign she's paying attention to the right stuff about carrying.

We learned something about the SIG P365 and astigmatism too.  The shape of the rear sight tends to make an arc thanks to the corners of the rear sight notch fuzzing out when you're focusing on the front sight; so you put the front sight at the top of the arc instead of flush with the top of the rear sight and you end up shooting low.

She says she can see the correct alignment if she concentrates, so that's what she's working on.

We also discovered that my Ruger Standard doesn't like 21gr CCI Copper-22™.  Several stoppages.
