Boom!
I think I got it now.
Boom!
Yeah. I got it.

Shooting boomers at a private Boomershoot party.
July 17, 2010
[She was having trouble at first. Lots of misses and almost no booms. I couldn’t figure out what the problem was. She did fine with dry fire. The gun stayed steady enough for the range we were at (almost entertainingly close). I think there was a problem with her sight picture even though I went over it several times with her. And it wasn’t like was the first time she had shot a gun either. She did pretty well the first time so I was perplexed why she was having trouble this time. She is a smart woman and she eventually figured it out on her own.
I’ll ask her more about it when I see her at the office on Monday.
Update: Priyanka reports she was concentrating on properly placing the post (front sight) of the AR-15 on the target and was neglecting to center the post in the rear peep sight. I’ll have another QOTD from Priyanka and pictures from the event on Monday.–Joe]
Interesting. Usually the centering bit is natural and automatic. Some trainers have gone to avoiding any mention of the rear sight initially, for beginners.
I had told her (and the others) to center it. Perhaps I should not have done that.
