    Does the gun still shoot left when someone else shoots it?

    For me, that's always the first check I do when I'm wondering if it is a "sights" problem or a "me" problem--I have a couple of other...

    Last part says "while retreating" for the last 6 shots.

    I'd personally start with SHO 6 shots to the body while advancing, reload, 6 WHO to the body while stationary at the forward line, reload,...

    The thing about this, is that Todd was very specific about how "the study said" trigger pull weight wasn't a factor, and trigger pull length was a factor---he mentioned those two specific things...

    Note that they said they expected it to fall again. (Which is interesting...why would they expect that? The people who shot themselves probably wouldn't do it again?)
