I met a couple of friends at the range yesterday. One hadn't really shot much at all... OK, he was so green, he needed MOWING!
:D
I took out my 12F, another Savage I just screwed another barrel into, and my Contender.
I set up the 12F in the bags, got it lined up and ready, and had the "newbie" sit behind it. I gave him the instructions, which he actually listened to, and dang if he didn't shoot a true one hole 5 shot group @ 100!
Now he's talking like he wants one...
Gotta love those Savage's.
12F, McGowen 6.5x284 1-8" twist, Nightforce 12-42x BR<br />BVSS, McGowen barrel, 22-250 1-9" twist, Nikon 6-18x<br />16 FHLSS Weather Warrior, Sinarms 257 Roberts, Pentax 3-9<br />Stevens 200, 223 bone-factory-stock, Nikon 3-9x<br />Scratch-built BVSS, LW 243 1-8" twist, Viper 6.5-20x50 mil-dot
I know what you mean.
I took my 15 year old son out early last spring to shoot my F/TR for the (his) first time. He shot a 5/8", 5 shot group at 100 yds.
His reaction was the flip side of your new shooters reaction.
My boy told me that I was no big deal, and said that if he could do that on the first try then it couldn't be all that hard. ::)

Ah, the arrogance of youth. Young eyes and a steady hand help also.
