Never had this happen before on the range

Jim I been through that match trick when I was a Kid. I had a uncle that was eccentric but I liked him. One day he said I want you to light this match, I said OK, well I figured he would stick it in the ground but no he held it in his fingers. I said I cant shoot it while your holding it...yes you can.... well I shot and missed that match at around 25 feet or so but he never even blinked and said you missed now hit it. I shot again and shot the match head off and he said you have to just skim over the white to make it lite up. I raised the rifle again and just then my Mother came out of the house with a towel in her hand yelling and used it on both of us and took the rifle out of my hand and would not let me have it again till he went home

Eric I can understand teaching someone how to use barrel sights. I went through this with my kids and grand daughters. Drawing them a sight picture on how to see and align the front with the back. What I did for my grand daughter when she was 6 I drew her a sight picture and when I saw she was still having a problem lining the sights I went and got some fish line and scotch tape and taped the line on the front and back sight and I told her to see as little line or no line on the target and shoot, that worked because the hits where just below the bull then I took the line off and said shoot some more. That was enough for her to understand how to use the sights.
But after all was done and the older girl wanted to shoot it hit me here I had her hold the rifle right handed and she is left handed.
