How are gun sights tuned? With one weapon, I aimed at the center of the target but consistently hit a point about 3/4 of the way up and to the right. So I had precision, but not accuracy. Or, well, accuracy considering that once I knew after the first shot that aiming at the middle of the target would get me the upper-right corner, conceivably I would have only aimed at the center if I had _wanted_ to hit that corner. But it was only circumstancial accuracy, given that I didn’t know what corresponding spot to aim at in the lower-left corner in order to hit the center. So if one wants to become a sharp-shooter with great accuracy, one should probably own a gun and practice with that same weapon to learn its firing characteristics. I have a feeling that I’ve just stated something completely obvious and known to anyone who knows anything about guns, but that was my observation, anyway. On the other hand, perhaps gun owners, or, I should say, afficionadoes (since one can (as is probably often the case) own a gun for self-defense and (despite advice to the contrary) not be particularly proficient or experienced in its use) are able to tune the sights to visual accuracy along the line of sight. Or just mount a laser pointer on the thing. Or get a shotgun.
shooting is fun. very fun. i was at LAX gun range with one of my friends a while back. good times. He hit the spot many more times than i did. scary.
