Sam's never been worried about that, but it seems that he's been firing guns a lot more recently than his brother has, at any rate, so it's probably a valid concern of Nathan's.

"Looked, felt, was, whatever," Sam says dismissively. He holds the target up to the light so he can see the holes back-lit by the sun. "My point still remains: fight smart. And stop letting bullies get to you, huh?"

It's something Nathan's always had a problem with, and it's not a surprise to Sam that it's carried over into his adult life. He's heard Nathan's version of the meeting that ended with a broken hand and face, but it's not so very different from the bullies he'd faced at the orphanage, all those years ago. Different circumstances, maybe, and obviously a different bully, but the concept remains the same.
