Answer 2

Your best bet is to start by taking a safety class with a NRA Certified Instructor. The NRA also offers many more classes to help improve you shooting skills. Then once you have a good solid foundation you just need to get out on the range and shoot and then shoot some more. I have been shooting for 24 years and I am a good shot but I am no where near the level of many competition shooters out there. Many of the IPSC shooters do not pay for the hudreds of thousands of rounds the burn up at the range every year. They have sponsers that provide all that stuff for them.

You might want to look for some books and videos that are out there. I know an IPSC shooter made a bunch of videos about how to shoot properly. I think http://www.midwayusa.com/ has them.

Answer 3

When I was taught they said:-

start with the gun at rest
breathe and relax while looking straight ahead
look towards the target
bring the pistol up through the target, slightly
focus on the foresight
bring the sights to rest at the aiming point
concentrate on sight picture and slowly increase pressure on the trigger
- there should be an 'unexpected' bang around now -
hold until after the gun returns from recoil
lower the gun to rest
relax, breathe
if at any point you start shaking then return to the relaxed stance.

This was for shooting one handed.

Doubletaps? For accuracy? Gimmee a break!

There are other ways, there's no one and only way to shoot. For target shooting these days, now I'm not shooting UIT targets and am looking for practical accuracy, I still concentrate on the foresight alignment but I use the two handed isoceles grip because it gets me furthest from the sights.

Chris, it is really too difficult to explain on Yahoo Q & Anwers. If you haven't already done so, sign up for a gun safety course. Start with a .22 and move up to a 9mm because of ammo availability n price. Hold firmly with both hands, both thumbs pointing at your target. Acquire a good sight picture by lining up your whole front sight in the rear sight and superimposing the front sight over your target. Squeeze, don't jerk the trigger. Always wear your ears n eyes protection and observe all range rules. Then practice, practice practice. Once you've mastered these two calibers, then decide on your preferred carry weapon and get you CCW if available in your State.

Best.

Answer 5

A guy a shot with awhile back would to do several exercises with lite weights. The idea being it strengthened the muscles that supported ans steady his pistol. I don't know if it was the exercises or the four two hour sessions he spent at the range every week but he was great shooter. Any how what ever you do regular time time at the range is the best.

Answer 6

1. Dry-fire daily using a safe backstop (even on the days you go to the range). Make sure you concentrate on the sights staying still and aligned while and after the hammer falls.
2. Get out to the range and practice as often as you can.

Regular practice will do more for you than any exercise program or anything else you can do to improve your shooting.

Answer 7

Honestly messing around with an airsoft glock helped me. I was more comfortable knowing that all my mistakes were made with a non lethal gun in the comfort of my home. Plus you can practice aiming, grip stance etc. without having to rent a range. I would go to the range more but ammo ain't getting any cheaper.

Answer 8

I was shooting all over the target until I realized that I was focusing on the target, not the sights. As soon as I brought the sights into focus and let the target go slightly blurry I started hitting the bulls eye. If the target is slightly blurry, you can still see it well enough to aim at the center. If the sights are blurry, you won't be able to tell if your sight alignment and sight picture are wrong.

Answer 9

Use two hands,don't hold it sideways,use a gun chambered in whatever round you feel comfortable shooting,double-tap,and aim for the center of whatever you are shooting at.

Answer 10

I honest think the best way is to shoot without an bullets. Anyways you have to ask and research on internet or ask someone whom does it. What do you want to enter? sport?
