  4. The Dominate Eye The dominant eye should be used for aiming. WHY WOULD YOU SHOOT WITH BOTH EYES OPEN?

  6. POSITION FOLLOW THROUGH GRIP Fundamentals Of Pistol Shooting TRIGGER SQUEEZE BREATH CONTROL SIGHT ALIGNMENT

  7. Fundamental Gun Safety Rules • Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. • Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Alwayskeep the gun unloaded until ready to use. • Do not point a gun at anything you are not willing to KILL or DESTROY!

  8. Shooting Fundamentals Position • Consistency • Balance • Support • NPA (Natural Point of Aim) • Comfort • Weaver Vse. Isosceles

  9. Shooting Fundamentals Grip THE “HAND SHAKE” APPROACH!

  10. Shooting Fundamentals Sight Alignment

  11. Shooting FundamentalsSight Alignment • Target, front sight and rear sight aligned • “Six o’clock” hold, or “center of mass” hold

  12. Shooting Fundamentals Sight Alignment Focus is on the… front sight

  13. Shooting FundamentalsBreath Control Body movement affects the shot • So… quiet yourself Breathing requires muscle movement • So… shoot between breaths Breathe out part way, hold, and shoot. Don’t hold your breath too long or muscle tremors will create movement and disrupt the shot.

  14. Breath Control • In order to minimize body movement, your breath must be held while firing a shot. • Before each shot, take a breath, let enough air out so you are comfortable, and hold the remaining breath while firing the shot. • If your breath is held too long, muscle tremors may start. (approx. 8 seconds, but varies from person to person) Point the gun in a safe direction, take your finger off the trigger, put the gun down, relax take a few breaths, and then begin the firing cycle again. practice purposes.

  15. ARC OF MOVEMENTEXERCISE

  16. Shooting FundamentalsTrigger Squeeze Don’t use the “P” word!!! Gradually increasing pressure until the mechanism releases SURPRISE yourself when the gun shoots

  18. Fundamental Gun Safety Rules • Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction. • Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot. • Alwayskeep the gun unloaded until ready to use. • Do not point a gun at anything you are not willing to KILL or DESTROY!

  19. Safe Gun Handling Major Causes of gun accidents: • Ignorance- a lack of knowledge • An individual may not know how to properly operate a pistol • Carelessness- firearms accidents can occur when a person is careless around firearms. • A person handling a gun may know the various gun safety rules, but neglects to apply them.

  20. SEMI-AUTO STOPPAGE TYPES FIRE FEED EXTRACT EJECT (STOVEPIPE)‏ GO INTO BATTERY EMPTY CHAMBER If you fail to get a proper grip and maintain it through Follow Through it can cause malfunctions! YOU are a component of the functioning of A semi-auto correctly!

  21. IMMEDIATE ACTION DRILL • Most stoppages that may occur to a semi-automatic pistol can be cleared by one immediate action drill: • Tap/Roll/Rack • Remove your finger from the trigger and point the gun in a safe direction. • Tap-the base of the magazine to ensure it is fully seated. • Invert-Rollthe gun toward your non-gun hand if it is an open top ejection port, or to the side with the ejection port if not. This will allow a cleared round to escape during the next action. • Rack-the slide vigorously to the rear and let it go forward without riding the slide. • Ready- Assess the situation to determine if the target still presents a threat. Take appropriate action. • This drill will clear most stoppages; however there are other techniques for clearing other less common stoppages that you should learn. This is a good reason to take a more advanced protection class.

  22. COVER AND CONCEALEMENT Cover: Will potentially protect you from a projectile Concealment: Will “conceal” you from a potential assailant. .

  23. THE IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE SKILLS LEARNED MUSCLE MEMORY HEIGHTENED RATE OF SURVIVAL PROBABILITY .

  24. THE IMPORTANCE OF PRACTICE TIME FOR QUESTIONS! .
