The dance was cute, it made me chuckle every time I watched it. I guess they like it better than pointing the rifle down, and checking their surrounds with their head/neck.Bitter Clinger wrote:I was wondering when someone would comment on that. Plus the firing line discipline on the hot range was extremely lax with students often shooting from behind other students.

My aim is true, but there are always unpredictable variables. I would never allow such practices on my property. Entirely too dangerous.and am still trying to figure out why the guy on the end would rack the charging handle instead of using the bolt release. But hey, they do have nice kit.
I think the use of the charging handle comes from a lot of people saying lately not to use your bolt release or slide release on handguns, because they will wear down and not work properly.
YMMV
