Another pet peeve of mine is "grain weight". Does your doctor talk to you about your "pound weight"?


I've heard the "bullet tips" around here quite a few times.

While not in a gun store, I have noticed something at the range several times the past couple of years and I want to scream every time it happens....Happened last week again when I took my uncle, who is on crutches at the moment, to line up his new squirrel gun.

I can remember 4 times for sure, maybe more, where some guy beside me at the range is lining up their hunting rifle. Well, they're about 8 inches off from the bullseye (100 yards). Instead of adjusting the damn scope they just call it good and say "I'll just hold to the left" or whatever. This blows my mind that people are either too scared, lazy or dumb to adjust a friggin' scope.
