Ah, I had memories of the one time I was given a .22 to shoot.

I was scary good. (Granted, it was only shooting at cans on top of tree limbs, but still. Small targets.)

I think that was part of the reason why I wasn't allowed near a rifle or anything after that. ^.^

hklakfhjs, rattlesnake. Though the thought of it and the cats is funny. xD

The cats thought it was cool. I thought the cats were flippin insane.

I think it might be worthwhile to check if Honor has the same issue I do, with the dominant eye being on the other side from the dominant hand. That stops me hitting a damn thing with an air rifle unless I hold it to my left shoulder. (Or switch eyes, but that ain't gonna happen because you can't shoot at something you can't even focus on)

I have that problem too - I'm short enough so that I can tilt my head in some cases, but you can't do that all the time.

Airguns, like in arcade shooters? I just use my left hand.

Hmm... That'd be interesting. She's left handed, but I did ask which eye she was aiming with, and she said the left... Maybe I can try having her use the right to see?

Maybe the rattlesnake heard you were selling and wanted to view the place? ^^

Turns out your left-handed mother is right-eye dominant! Possibly your left-handed daughter is just like her grandmother!

Her grandmother says, "No poking snakes!"

Hmm. I'll check and see if Honor is like her grandmother in that too!

Huh...I tried the eye-dominance test...and couldn't see the door knob clearly through my hands. I had to consciously choose which eye to look at the doorknob through.

That means I'm dain bramaged?

Definitely brain damage. (he he!) Maybe pick something larger, like the small end of a lasagna box. That's what I used, since I was facing the kitchen. :) Oh, and I'm right handed and left-eye dominant. Maybe that's why the bullets don't go where I think I'm aiming. (I can hear the laughing responses. I'm actually pretty good at shooting - I shot a thief in the eye in the dark! Okay, so that was a lucky roll of the dice. Pfft! I miss you guys!!!!)

Out of interest, what where they shooting with? target rifles? Airsoft? Else?


Hmmm Snakes. Snakes are Cool IMO, but then, I've only ver had experience with 'tame', zoo constrictors.
