She is holding the gun wrong though.
Buttstock is not in the shoulder, sight aligment is horrible, body posture is not leaning into the gun's recoil.
But she is skinny and young.

That's why it reminded me of the video. The results were...funny.  :P

Ass to the ground?
That's what happened to my wife when she tried to shoot my 3.38 Lapua Savage BA 110 from the standing position.
She saw me doing the big little shot (500m standing unsupported head shot), and thought she could do it too.
Hilariousness ensued.

Found an Enfield No. 4 Mk. I* Savage toolroom prototype at a local pawn shop.  Is it worth a damn?  I can't find much information on it.

Plus, it figures this shop ends up with 2 .22 target pistols a few months after I buy mine. :P

Edit: Also, it appears to be the jungle carbine mod.

Jungle carbine is a cool weapon. Shame about the wandering zero.

I think it has something to do with the fact that she's supposed to be a skeet shooter.

Everything Siege said applies to skeet and trap shooters.

Have you shot skeet?  I have not.  However a buddy of mine who has told me the technique in skeet is different in that you point at the target with your support hand before you raise the butt to your shoulder.

Like this:



I went double-trap shooting with the British Olympic team in the run-up to Beijing. You gun nuts would have liked their fancy engraved shotguns.
