Description of  Handgun Marksmanship: Teach Yourself to Shoot Bullseyes

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a marksman is someone skilled at shooting at a mark or target. This is a book for hand-gunners who want to be marksmen. Handgun Marksmanship is a learner’s guide to shooting straight and hitting what you aim at. Each chapter is a separate lesson designed to achieve clear instructional goals. What You Will Learn Topics are explained in clear, aw-shucks language. Step-by-step instruction makes it easy to grasp material quickly. Key points are reinforced with practical exercises. As you progress through the book, you will learn to: Choose and use a target for marksmanship training. Assess mechanical accuracy of your gun and ammo. Set a good training goal, based on gun, ammo, and shooter skill. Identify the grip and stance that work best for you. Translate dry-fire practice to improved performance on the range. Measure shooting accuracy and precision objectively. Diagnose flaws in technique, based on bullet-hole patterns. Test corrective strategies to solve performance problems. Each lesson is geared toward skill development and continuous improvement. By the end of the book, you should be able to hit 80% bullseyes (4 shots out of 5) from a distance of 7 yards. If you think this is easy, try it. This is a significant achievement with a handgun, beyond the skills of most shooters. But, with a little bit of the right training, it is well within your grasp.
