[Guts waits for her to finish before starting his own rounds. The dummies here were a little outside the range he was used to fighting at, but no overly so. It's when things are further out that he notices the black fuzz of his missing eye a bit more than usual.
He holds the carbine to his shoulder - this, at least, was a very familiar position - though he's never had to really worry about recoil much once he reached a certain age. He aims for the invisible heart in the larger area of the dummy's body, paying no attention to the bullseye.
His priority was trying to get a cluster of holes close together near an easier target. Consistency more than pure aim. It's the same way one might try out new equipment an archery range to get a sense of the weapon's weight and kick, or the quirks of the projectiles. Arrows and bolts could be finicky, and you needed to account for the arc and the wind.
Guts looks a bit surprised when he finishes. The first couple of shots wandered as he adjusted the iron sights, but the latter half were starting to form a tighter cluster. The recoil was greater than a crossbow's, but he can't deny it was more reliable. More accurate, too. He pulls the earmuffs off his head.]

It's loud.
