Description

This invaluable, well-illustrated book presents a carefully crafted, step-by-step programme which teaches the complete novice air pistol shooter how to attain a high level of marksmanship. The training begins with a detailed consideration of safety procedures, basic pistol craft, range construction and the types of air pistol that are available (spring-powered, pneumatic and CO2) and how they work. The author then moves on to consider holsters, targets, and the advanced skills associated with trigger control, the hold, presentation, the stance, the fast draw and rapid fire shooting. Finally, detailed attention is paid to markmanship exercises but the author emphasizes that these should only be undertaken after all of the techniques set out in the previous chapters have been mastered. AUTHOR: John Bezzant writes for the well-respected Air Gunner magazine and is an acknowledged expert in the field of airgun shooting who has written two books and scores of articles on the subject. He has a long-held interest in the use of air pistols for fast fire fun shooting and, in his mission to develop his skills to the highest level, he has studied the techniques of some of the world's leading pistol shooters. 140 colour photographs and 11 drawings
