Improving Marksmanship:
Sight alignment is when your eye looks through the rear sight, aligned with the front sight then the target. Of the three objects your eye can only focus on one and that will be the front sight. This means that the rear sight and the target are slightly blurry. It is your concentration on the front sight that aligns the muzzle on target at your point of aim. At the time the gun fires you will have a mental image of the front sight while you recover from the guns recoil. When the gun comes back into position and you are able to find the front sight your gun should be pointing at the hole in the target. This assumes you are in a good stance and you properly executed good trigger squeeze and didn’t jerk the trigger or flinch Here in lies the bad habit. The majority of shooters want to see if the bullet hit the target. So the moment the gun fires the eye immediately goes from the front sight to the target. And since your eyeball is unable to rise up and over the gun sights you naturally dip the gun down to see the target. In doing so your shots are low from where you aimed. And if you fired multiple follow-up shots you will have walked your bullets down the target. One more thing, the closest backstop on most ranges is 25 yards so take a portable stand and set your target 7 to 10 yards from the shooting bench, closer if need be. If you can’t group your shoots at this distance why go 25 yards? |

It's a sad day when I have to add a section on our web site warning ALL gun owners that our Second Amendment will likely come under assault by the current administration, Senate members and the anti-gun folks, hell bent, to ban ALL guns and ammunition.
In case you don't know, the Second Amendment reads. "A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Seeing how this is the second, "Second Amendment" I can only conclude the importance it must have been to our founding fathers when they created our Amendments. You may be saying to yourself, "I'm one person, how can I make a difference?" Easy, join an national organization that will represent all gun owners like the NRA or the Second Amendment Foundation. And it doesn't hurt to become a member at your local sporting club or a state level organizations supporting the Second Amendment or your right to conceal carry.
