    Summary

    You let out a breath you didn’t even know you were holding. “What are you, some kind of therapist now? Dr Phil?”

    “I don’t know who that is and I’m a man who doesn’t like wastin’ time. I got a bunch of other folks lined up to take your spot. So, either you tell me what the hell’s in your head so we can use it or lose it, or we spend another two weeks out here while you learn to shoot around it.”

    You're new in Jackson and rifle training is mandatory for all adults. You're eager to help, to prove you can be useful. But it's hard when Joel Miller's your instructor.
