As a member of the 70% of Arizonans who support the anti-immigration law recently passed in Arizona, it’s also true that, at least temporarily, it *will* increase prejudice.

In case you haven’t already found it, Brian Zins has written some excellent words on fundamentals on his website (link below).

I’ve been told that the mental techniques and skills for Bullseye and golf are much alike. And it’s certainly true that everyone is asked to hold down the talking and other extraneous noise so the participants in both sports can concentrate on their current “shot”.

What follows is an email to an associate about to travel to Cedar Rapids Iowa from which I just returned. He’s a martini man, by the way; Loves his martinis.

I took a Newbie to the range yesterday. I let Jim shoot my 22, first with iron sights and then with the dot. As might be expected for his first time, he struggled with the irons but did better with the dot.

I occasionally take non-shooters to the range for their first experience with firearms. Over time, I’ve tended toward a similar sequence of presenting things but knowing the Bullseye community’s safety record, I decided to ask for their input as well. The following procedure benefits from the excellent suggestions of Fred, JC, Chuck, Sheral, Kent and George in the Bullseye-L email community, and from the shooters I meet on the line from whom I’ve learned many valuable and sometimes life-saving lessons.

I fired 2437-37X in today’s 2700.

That’s 90.26% for 270 of the 360 record shots I need to advance to Outdoor Expert.
