    The first time I shot the S&W 629 I won in a drawing, never having owned a revolver before, I "sandbagged" it over my Dillon Border Shift bag. Blew out the zipper one one side with the first shot. I think it cost me almost as much as the bag itself to repair it.

    I watched as a smart alec rolled a synthetic rug for a rest. His wife wasn't impressed by the hole and burned spots in her bath set.

    This why I lock my thumbs when I shoot. Revolver or semi auto. This new fangled craze of thumbs WAY forward while shooting autos is alien to me. I don't get it and it's uncomfortable. I have been told I'm shooting "wrong" more than once for how I shoot.....
    You can miss fast & you can miss a lot, but only hits count.

    I have on several occasions stopped someone who is new to shooting from doing this.
