The shots were only when dad said it was ok and until the last couple of years, cocked the gun for him. And, coached him with whispers about when to shoot, keep calm, where to aim, ect.... IF no shot was taken, I took the gun back and decocked myself. It has been a totally controlled situation. And, I think that is a good thing.

It is indeed a good thing. I would have expected nothing less from you, having read many of your posts. I made my post because there are a WHOLE LOT of folks out there who are not nearly so conscientious or just don't know any better.
