A book that might be
of interest to rifle shooters, written by Chris Fenning a club
instructor:
Description:
Smallbore Rifle
Shooting: A Practical Guide, is useful for those who
are considering taking up the sport, and for those who already have
some experience but wish to improve their skills and participate in
competitions. It takes the reader forward from the point at which the
very first shot is fired, introduces new levels of understanding and
competence, provides useful advice, and answers many of the questions
frequently asked by beginners
The key topics, which are examined in detail, include breathing,
aiming, trigger control and 'follow through'. Step-by-step guidance is
presented on how to build a comfortable and stable prone position
whilst wearing a jacket and sling. Numerous photographs, including
pictures taken through the sights to show exactly what is being
described, support the theory. The book also includes practice
exercises that help demonstrate the different techniques. For people
looking to progress beyond indoor practice shooting, there is an
explanation of types of competition, how to enter events, as well as
introduction to competing outdoors and learning how to anticipate the
effect of the wind on a shot.
Whilst other shooting books may focus on the detailed skills used by
those who compete at an international level, this book offers guidance
for those at the beginner to intermediate levels.
