Are You Hitting The Target?
Non-firing Sight Adjustment/Confirmation!
Most avid hunters have been groomed from childhood. However, there are some who were influenced by a stint in the Service, through a marriage, or some other influence; but, regardless of the motivation, do you hit what your aiming at? Being able to hit a target is the ultimate goal and responsibility of the hunter, it’s by far from being a given.

As described above, this step will take into consideration those other factors impacting on the firing process.
