{"content":[{"text":"put the trigger finger farther through the trigger guard than you would normally find in \n printed literature. Because my fingers are fat and short, I do that so I will have more \n leverage with my trigger finger. This is different from the traditional method of the wrist \n and arm being straight in line with the barrel. Regardless, we must grip as high as possible \n on the backstrap so that we will have more control. Most of the good shooters I know do not \n hold their thumb down toward their other fingers. They keep the thumb relaxed and high \n and this is very important. Once you establish your best grip, consistency becomes very \n important. We can really change our point of aim because of our grip. Now in as far as how \n much pressure to use, I like to imagine using the using the same amount of pressure as \n holding a hammer or a very firm handshake. Most of the pistol shooters I know use a fairly \n strong grip. One way to determine how much pressure to grip the gun is to extend the gun \n and take your grip as tight as you can get it until you start to tremor -- then back off. This is \n probably the grip pressure that is right for you. It is necessary that you maintain pressure on \n the forestrap that is straight to the rear. It is also important that we have constant pressure \n during the shot in order that we are not milking the grip -- that is squeezing all the fingers \n while pulling the trigger.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.090627,"width":0.763568,"height":0.264203}},{"text":"Sight Alignment","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.368854,"width":0.15387499999999998,"height":0.023316000000000003}},{"text":"The human eye is not capable of focusing on two separate planes at the same time. \n Therefore, with iron sights, we cannot clearly see the sights and the target at the same time. \n What we have to do is place our concentration and our focus on the front sight and accept \n blurring the target. With the optical sights, we eliminate having to line up two separate front \n and rear sights. We are either using a dot or a cross-hair recticle, but we all agree that it is \n still important to focus ON THE RETICLE and not on the target.","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.407394,"width":0.762282,"height":0.09897700000000004}},{"text":"Pistol Movement and Trigger Control","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.520419,"width":0.358971,"height":0.023316000000000003}},{"text":"One of the hardest things for a beginning shooter to accept is the movement of the pistol \n while they are trying to fire the shot. I cannot stress this too much as none of us can hold a \n gun absolutely motionless. Good shooters sometimes have the sensation of holding the gun \n perfectly motionless for some three seconds or so, but no one can hold perfectly steady for \n the entire time required to fire the shot. The principal of accepting this movement, and \n applying trigger pressure straight to the rear while at the same time keeping correct sight \n alignment, is the key to pistol shooting. I cannot say it enough, accepting this movement is \n very important. Your \"arc of movement\" is the entire area that your sight alignment \n encompasses while you are holding. Let's say your arc of movement is within the nine-ring \n on the slow fire target at fifty yards. And note that almost anyone can train themselves to do \n this. Remember then, if you can hold the nine ring, and you can mash the trigger straight to \n the rear causing it to break without any additional pistol movement, your shots will go \n within your arc of movement, and you will score a nine or better on each shot. If there is a \n secret to pistol shooting ... that's it. \n Training and Practice: \n Strength Builders","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.55896,"width":0.758702,"height":0.310937}},{"text":"Since I first started shooting I have used a five pound weight to develop the muscles in my","bbox":{"left":0.117686,"top":0.885117,"width":0.74261,"height":0.01652699999999996}}],"images_bbox":[],"images_bbox_not_text_overlap":[]}
