How To Aim A
Handgun Learning to aim is one of the most basic skills needed for shooting a handgun (if you want to hit your target) and is an essential part of gun safety. |
|
Shooting Breathing Control Proper breathing control is an important part of gun training that effects the accuracy of your shooting. When you breath, your body moves and that's not good when you are trying to aim your gun. |
|
Handgun Shooting Stance Your stance is your foundation for good shooting. It provides a solid base for controlling recoil and accuracy and allows you to move and react quickly to different situations. |
|
Handgun Shooting Grip A good shooting grip allows you to shoot accurately and consistently, control recoil and muzzle flip while handling the gun in the safest possible manner. |

Trigger Finger
Placement & Trigger Squeeze The proper placement of your index finger on the trigger of a handgun and the proper squeezing of the trigger keeps you from moving the gun off target when firing. Your finger should be positioned on the trigger such that the pad of your index finger is approximately half way between the tip of your finger and the first joint. |

Don't Use The Slide Stop To Release The Slide Some instructors teach their students not to use the slide stop to release the slide on semi-automatic pistols. I used to wonder "Why Not?" and thought that the manufacturer's wouldn't have designed it that way if they didn't want you to use it. |

Ricochets At The Shooting Range I was at the indoor shooting range when a shooter was injured by a ricochet bullet. It hit him just above his left eye and it drew a little blood. The closest a ricochet came to me was a few feet away. |

Hot Bullet Casings Can Burn Skin The following picture shows the burn marks I received from a .22 caliber LR casing that flew into my shirt collar. When this happens you do the "hot brass dance" as it slides down your skin. But you have to be careful. This happened to an inexperience lady shooter in the stall next to me. During her "dance" she unintentionally pointed her loaded Glock directly at me. |

Fire At The Shooting Range I was shooting at the range when I looked over to my right (about 25 feet down range) and saw a fire burning beneath another shooter's target. It was fascinating. The un-burnt gunpowder that is expelled each time you shoot gathered in the cracks of the concrete range floor and caught fire from a ricochet or hot discharge. |
