How to properly shoot a handgun?

Here are a few tips:

1. Make sure the gun is properly oriented in your hand so that the barrel is pointing in the right direction.

2. Keep both eyes open and focus on the front sight. Do not focus on the target itself.

3. Don’t anticipate the shot – wait until the sights are aligned and on target before you pull the trigger.

4. Keep your finger off of the trigger until you’re ready to fire.

5. Control your breathing – take a deep breath, let half of it out, and hold the rest until you’re ready to fire.

6. Follow through – after you’ve pulled the trigger, don’t jerk the gun or move your hand. Keep the sights on target until the shot is complete.

With practice, you’ll be able to shoot more accurately and safely. Remember to always follow the basic gun safety rules:

• Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
• Never point a gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
• Keep your finger off the trigger until you’re ready to fire.
• Be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.

There are a few things to consider when shooting a handgun:

• stance
• grip
• sight alignment
• trigger control

For your stance, you want to be comfortable and stable. You can stand with feet shoulder-width apart or use a staggered stance.

 
When gripping the gun, be sure to hold it tight enough to keep it from moving, but not so tight that you’re squeezing the life out of it.
 

 
Your sights should be aligned with the target by looking down the barrel of the gun – not along the side of the gun.
 

 
And finally, when pulling the trigger, you want to do so smoothly and without jerking it.
 

Some practice will help you get used to these techniques and make you a better shooter.
