The simple act of pulling the trigger seems like it would be the easiest part of firing a gun. While it’s a very simple concept, it creates problems for many beginner shooters. Even experienced shooters have been known to flinch before shooting some of my big bore revolvers.<\/p>\n
There are a few basic steps that all beginner shooters need to master before taking there first trip to the range. When initially learning how to shoot dry fire practice really does help. Practicing without having to worry about recoil helps with basic shooting techniques.<\/p>\n
Proper trigger pull is one of the most important aspects of shooting. When you pull the trigger correctly the gun shouldn’t jerk or move. One of the most common errors you see in new shooters is a flinch or jerk as they pull the trigger. Most of the time this is caused by to much recoil on a beginners gun. You can eliminate the flinch by using dry fire practice to hone in your skills and practicing with low recoil rounds. Serious shooters will spend many hours perfecting their trigger pull, both on the range and at home. Trying to feel the trigger break while working at home should significantly reduce a jerky trigger pull.<\/p>\n
Traditional pistol sights consist of a single front post and two rear posts. There are a few other variants like ghost ring sights, but they all work on the same basic principle. When you align the three posts both vertically and horizontally the gun should be accurate if properly sighted in. First focus on the front sight and then try and align the rear sights an equal distance apart.<\/p>\n
Pistol sights come in several sizes shapes and colors. Looking at a few guns at your local gun store should give you a good idea of your preference. Most of the time I like to stick with a basic night sight like you would find on factory Glocks. You’ll quickly get used to just about any type of sight so it really doesn’t matter what type of sight you choose.<\/p>\n
