Challenge Reminder: Memories (oh and Happy Anniversary!)

[mustangcandi]

Since life has been so crazy for me, I completely spaced on wishing you all a happy 4th anniversary! That's right ya'll. savecolby has been in existence for 4 years. Maybe when I finally get settled, I will post a delayed Happy Anniversary picspam. I need to start that again anyway because I think we could all use a little daily shot of Colby in our

I read an interview with a director years ago (buggered if I can remember who now but an A-lister for sure) and he said that the only actor he'd ever known to keep his eyes open when he fired a gun was Clint Eastwood. It's instinctive to flinch and shut your eyes when you first fire a weapon (which is why you usually end up missing the damn target). 2x05 is still very much Newbie!Colby, and up until that point DB hadn't done a lot of shooting or weapons work in his previous projects. If you watch him later on in the series, he's much more relaxed and confident with a gun and has his eyes open when shooting. I notice that AB also tends to have his eyes shut in the early days, but again as time goes on and he gets used to it, his eyes are open too. You get used to the sensation and the noise of a gun discharging close to your face and the instinct to protect the eyes by shutting them lessens. Hence, you get better at hitting whatever you're firing at.

I know WAY too much about this subject...

Note: I did try posting this comment earlier and for some reason it didn't take, so apologies if this doubles up (and if it does, Candi, feel free to delete one of 'em!)

I LOVE it!!! and I though he was cute with his eyes closed! But loved all information. Please, keep them coming, as Charlie would say, there's no such thing as too much data!!! (I'm a computer geek!!!) lol

and let me ask, do you know about gun rangers, scores, whatever? I ask because I saw Bones and the FBI agent need to 're-certify' as marksman or something, and his target was all hit in the center, but not even close the precision Don had in 2x20 guns and roses. I always wanted to know what should be Don scores. and Colby said he had the highest one at the team, so... :)
