Bob, I had to throw that in there because, on top of that post being spot on in so many ways based on what I�ve seen, heard, or know, the rifle sighting �check� becomes a �what is the likelihood that I (the guide) will be warming the barrel of my rifle� type deal. You know that when a guide has to verify a rifle because the client�s shooting doesn�t prove that there isn�t a rifle/scope/ammo problem, things might get interesting.
The chapter many guides could probably write about client rifle sighting/shooting would undoubtedly be long and interesting. (�I had my rifle bore-sighted by the �smith at the shop so it should be �dead-on�. � Seriously.)
I will add further to what you mentioned by pointing out that the number of clients who want their guide to provide follow-up immediately is rather amazing to me, as is the fact that it isn�t even unheard of to hear of the client who requests that a guide �get the bear� for them, often due to physical condition issues more than anything.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
