Please tell me these clumsy types who can't handle a
cordless drill. They aren't allowed to own firearms?

The problem is that they can't handle a hammer. Not sure about a
drill...

Remember, if these guys were more more coordinated, they wouldn't shoot
up the target frames, which are 2' square. I have a pair of frames my
wife & I use that I built about 7 years ago. The hole in the center of
the cardboard from thousands of shots is only 4 or 5 inches in diameter,
and we mostly shoot at 50 yards. I'm thinking I should probably replace
the cardboard this year, but only because the area where you staple the
corners of the targets is getting soft.

One of my projects for when I retire is to offer free clinics to folks at
the club to try to reduce the damage. The problem is that the basic NRA
pistol course explains how to shoot, but the major focus is just on
safety. People get next to zero practice or coaching, and we always use
target pistols with decent triggers. They go out & buy a 9 mm or some
such with a 7 pound trigger pull (mandated by the state for "safety
reasons") & then look at the target instead of their sights and yank on
the trigger.
