"Yes, that term works...and I certainly didn't plan on standing in front of you."
After rolling the chamber to a loaded cylinder, the human took his place right next to the raptor. He examined the raptor, and tried to think of a way he was going to make this work.
"Alright, since you can't get your arms eye level, exactly, you can't properly aim. Let's try it this way."
He knelt down beside the raptor, and took her right claw in his hand. He placed her claw on the grip. He then took her left claw, and gently set the smaller of the claws inside the trigger guard. From his posisiton on the ground, he properly aimed the revolver at a swamp apple, haning in a tree. He still held onto the bottom barrel, so she could keep it steady.
"Fire when your ready, ma'am."

"Okay," Min says, and she pulls the trigger with her clawtip. It fires... but she's not sure exactly what she did or didn't hit, since she closed her eyes just as she fired.

"Congratulations! A clean kill."
The insides of the apple were now covering the bark of the tree. The human stood back up.

"Sweet!" Min grins at the human. "I gotta learn this aim thing, though, without any help," she tells him, hopping happily.

"That might be difficult, seeing as you can't even bring your arms eye level."

"Maybe... but perhaps there is another way I can do it. If I use something as a visual reference when I do it," Min says, thinking to herself.

"There's scatter guns...you don't really need to aim those to hit your target."

"Maybe, but I'd much prefer a challenge," Min says with a grin.

"That's good to know...let's see...how can we do this..."
The human began to think to himself.

"By practice," Min says with a chuckle. "That's the only way to learn anything."

"Why don't you try holding your arm paralell to the ground, and shooting...then see where the bullet flies. From there you can judge where it would hit, and alter it's direction in favor of striking the target."

"Okay," Min says, as she turns her hand to aim the gun that way. She randomly shoots, hitting a tree slightly to her left. Good for her, it doesn't ricochet.

The human slowly straightened up, after the shot. He had ducked, and covered his head, when she had accidently discharged it in the wrong direction.
"Okay...problem keeping it straight..." he stated "try it like this."
He reached out, and extended her arm straight, and level. Then he took her free hand, and placed it, so it would keep the weapon from moving out of place, as easily.

"Okay," Min says, and she fires, hitting a flower about 15 feet in front of her.

"Now, say you want to hit that stone...simply use your best judgement, and move your arm to aim at it."
