Last night I finally got the chance to view Gunny Ermey's special on the history of the Rifle, "Lock N' Load". About half way through it I saw something that surprised me.
I watched him bring the rifle onto the target with his finger inside the trigger guard the entire time. (It did look like a good offhand position otherwise)
Bringing the gun down onto the target I can understand. That is a military thing and he was on a military reservation which usually has the couple of miles of restricted area beyond the berm to make that okay.
But having "reminded" any number of newbies on making sure their finger is off the trigger until they are on the target, I have to ask two questions.
Am I just being anal?
And what do the Marines teach regarding trigger discipline?
