There's a nice guy from Columbus, GA named Jim Rutland who was a Lucky McDaniels protege and who now teaches the 'quick-kill' course at Fort Benning. I took a lesson from him a couple of weeks ago with those sightless Daisy Red Ryders.
We progressed from a stationery pie plate with many many repetitions, to the ping pog balls which all ended up out in the marsh in front of the Sea Island Shooting School at the Cloister, to thrown metal discs ranging from claybird size to several smaller sizes, then on to quarters, dimes, Tums, Aspirin tablets, and finally to tossed up BBs.
About the time I began hitting the thrown up BBs with a BB gun, I realized that what he was trying to teach me was to mount the gun the same way every time and trust my eyes; it didn't matter how little the target was, the center of the target was always in the same place! Also, you have to let your eyes figure out where your gun is shooting by repetition; good gun fit is nice but the human eye and the automatic coordination done by your brain enable you to shoot any gun well that you can get on your shoulder the same way every time. We all oughta stick to ONE GUN; sure, sure...Geo
