LOL! Thanks for the compliment. When my husband and I purchased our first guns many years ago, we decided to take a gun safety course immediately afterwards. One portion of the course consisted of shooting at a target that was maybe fifty feet away. I did amazingly well, with about 75% bullseyes. The instructor started calling me 'Annie Oakley'. Later in the day, we practiced shooting at a black human silhouette that was also the same distance away, only this time we were not allowed to aim -- just had to 'shoot from the hip'. I was terrible -- missed the entire target altogether more times than I hit it. The instructor walked up to me after I was finished and said, 'You'd better hope that your attacker provides you the time to take aim, or you're gonna be in deep trouble.' Maybe you want to re-think having me on your side. :)
