Every year I get more and more guys I know calling me up wanting me to go shoot with them because they bought a ML and don't have a clue what they are doing. Not only do they not have a clue, but they are in most cases down right scared. I guess on the bright side, at least they call to find out before they go off on their own and get hurt or do something dumb. My first ML came with a DVD that I put in and watched and then had at it with the help of all you fine people on here.
You are right though, there are some people out there that should have to pass a common sense test before they are allowed to leave their house every morning.
