I'm just enjoying the show!
Ok, here's the situation, I had a new shooter (a retired lady) wander up on Monday and ask for some formal training. So I start on the fundamentals and getting her grip and trigger pull all squared away. When we get to sight alignment, she says she sees 4 rear sight dots (2 complete sets) and 2 targets when she focuses on the front sight. She had bought a laser previously to help compensate for this issue. So I go ahead and have her focus on the target and use the laser for sighting. With the laser, she is very accurate, and getting to be quite consistent (1” or less groups at 5 yards).
Obviously, she's new, and her grip, stance, and trigger are not consistent enough without some type of sighting verification.
Now comes the rub, with her eyes, she claims that there is just no way she can use the sights. I've always been of the opinion that laser alone is asking for trouble. What do you guys think? Any ideas to help out that I might have missed?
For right now, we're just going to proceed using the laser only until I can get the rest of her shooting consistent enough to work other things. Am I doing her a dis-service letting her run the laser as the only sight?
