kitchen or eclectic restaurant:

                        'The Three Secrets of Rifle Marksmanship'
                                                                                   
 

=====

                  It's really not how they teach you to shoot in the army
                                      --lock, stock & barrel:

1)  Lightly grip the furthermost curve of of the lock with your off hand
 so as to create
                                                               the widest, firmest triangle possible.

2)  They tell you to pull the trigger on the outward breath. 
Cease to breathe.

3)  Do not!
                 cradle the trigger with the bend between the first and second thirds of your index finger.
     To create the most direct backward pull; finger upon print, the merest tip.

          In Alaska, and elsewhere, totems are a liberation of freedom;
                      the master carvers do the bottom of the poles,
                                                                                   for obvious reasons.
