Things You'll Need:
- Pistol
-
Step 1
Get within a close range of the target, up to 10 yards. The distance can vary depending on the range limits of various weapons, but most pistols and handguns land in the ranges where this method is applicable and helpful.
-
Step 2
Grip a pistol with either one hand or two hands, depending on your position or preference, and focus by pointing the pistol in the general direction of the target.
-
Step 3
Raise the pistol to eye level and assume a normal shooter's stance. Do this smoothly and quickly. Mastering the overall technique depends on the speed and precision of all the motions.
-
Step 4
Change the focus from the target to the front sight of the pistol. Keep both eyes open to observe and maintain the balance of the sight.
-
Step 5
Align the front sight from left to right, or horizontally, between the rear sights. It is not necessary to align the front sight up and down or vertically. Even an average shot will usually guarantee a hit as long as you align the sights horizontally.
-
Step 6
Squeeze the trigger while maintaining eyesight on the target. Multiple shots are optional. If firing more than one shot in succession, allow extra time between shots to ensure accuracy.
-
Step 7
Perfect this rapid succession of movements by practicing with increasing speed while firing at multiple targets. Also practice by moving while shooting.
