Murphy's law dictates that when trying to shoot for score someone must set-up a .30 cal machinegun and then let a complete novice shoot it. I know this to be true because thats what happened the other day.
Now I don't want to blame them for my less than stellar groupings but they certainly didn't help. I kept worrying that they were going to shoot holes through my target because they never put up a target of their own nor did they seem too concerned where they were spraying. They finaly ran out of .30 cal ammo before I was done with target 2 and had yet to perferate my target with an errant shot, whew. Then they pulled out some kind of fully automatic .223 and started to spray the hillside. Later they decided it would be a good idea to let the "Friend" shoot this gun while she was standing. They handed her the weapon with a full magazine (luckily in semiauto mode). I looked over there as they were showing her how it operated and saw that they were letting her wave the thing all over the place. Not wanting to be anymore perferated than I already am I decided it was time to sugjest to them that the end with the hole in it should be pointing away from me. I also requested that the end of the barrel be over the firing line. She gladly complied. Then with the butt of the weapon a comfortable 4 inches from her shoulder, with her head turned slightly away and her eyes not quite open she put her 1st shot right between target 2 and target 3.
