I went shooting with my fiance's dad over the weekend, first time he's pulled his pistol out in years. Needless to say, he shot terribly.
His pistol is a Hi-Point 9mm he bought to defend his home and his family when they go camping. But it's worthless if he can't shoot it... we were shooting 6" paper plates, and after sending 8 rounds downrange from about seven paces, there were no holes in the plate. I put all 10 of mine through, SHO, from farther back.
I gave him some advice on his grip and his stance, but he didn't seem interested in more practice. I think I may have embarassed him.
So I'm wondering what to do now - anything? There's no way he'd pay for a class. I guess he's one of those guys that thinks stashing a 9mm in the bedroom means he'll be able to use it, even though he never practices.
Is there a gentle way to change his mindset? Is it my business at all?
