Advice

I often have fellow shooters at the range ask for advice on how to shoot more accurately. Most frequently, I will take one or two of the six basic steps to firing the shot and offer those as advice.

Here are the six steps to firing the shot:
1. Proper sight alignment.
2. Proper sight picture.
3. Respiratory pause.
4. Focus the eye on the front sight and the mind on the target.
5. Trigger squeeze.
6. Follow through.

In addition to these steps, proper posture in the shooting position is critical.

Normally, I will only offer one or two bits of advice per range day, and repeat those.

The most common advice? I urge people to have proper posture and a smooth, even trigger squeeze.
