Thanks for the links! It' funny how If your groups start getting bigger, if you go back to the basics they will improve. I love to shoot my S&W 1911. I got a box of .45 and the1911 and sat down Friday out back under the oak tree for a little target shooting. I was shooting a little left and low. As soon as I started watching the trigger control and front sight, back in the 10 ring.

I love my 1911. However, I live by the basics tought in this link: (you may already have it but for those that don't) http://www.bullseyepistol.com/
and added it to my list! Thanks for bringing that up. :bthumb:

Thanks flys! Actually, I don't get anything finished....

No need for a sticky, I borrowed the idea from Sophia and made it part of my signature line :bthumb:

Fantastic Post.

On the inside of my locker door I have posted the 4 fundamentals of marksmanship and the fundamentals of gun safety

Always treat a gun like it is loaded
Never point your gun at anything you are not willing to kill
Never place your finger on the trigger until you are ready to fire
Always Be sure of your target and what is beyond it

My kids have to recite them to me before they are allowed to step on the range :bthumb:

Thanks for a great post. I think out of all the boards I read on this one is the most cooperative, helpful, and least argumentative of any. I have learned a lot in my short time here. Thanks.:bthumb:

I agree :bthumb:. This forum is very unusual in that regard. Stop back often, or do a search for any questions that you may have. If you can't find the answer, chances are someone has a fix. (Don't forget our contests! I'm always pushing our Squirrel Hunter's Challenge and Squirrel Sniper's Challenge)

Thanks for the links. I've saved this page.
Just remember, Military rifle position training has to consider speed as well as
accuracy. I shoot much better from sitting than knelling but knelling is a far
faster position to assume.
Several things I was taught about standing position rifle shooting, at taxpayer
expense, conflict heavily with the winning techniques used by Olympic and
silhouette shooters.
I suggest that everyone learn the basic military positions. Quickly hitting a
target is often more important than making sure you hit the exact center.
