Original cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling on spine & upper cover. No ownership inscription. Foxing to end papers. vii, 102 pages clean and tight. This practical guide to pistol and revolver shooting concentrates on the basics. The text clearly explains the concepts and skills of handgunning while numerous diagrams and photographs lucidly depict the areas discussed. Each of the ten chapters that constitute the text presents a step-by-step guide to one important aspect of handgun shooting. 'These ten chapters cover: * Nomenclature and Functioning (the basics) * Safety (its importance and its practice) * Position (stable platform shooting positions) * Grip (how to achieve the vise-like grip) * Sighting (the fundamentals of sighting) * Aiming (including area aiming) * Trigger Finger Motion (smoothness and cadence) * Self-Study (for improving hand-gunning ability) * Breathing (concentration and low-pressure breath control) * Planned Practice (practicing for increasing success). Each of these chapters concludes with it segment on common faults and a chapter summary. The former details what problems are likely to occur in that area of handgun shooting and how to avoid them, while the latter synopsizes the chapter and relates it to the total theory and practice of hand-gunning. A bibliography and index follow the text. .
