Default Help to improve technic??

Hi, what are some sources either books, or videos to improve handgun accuracy? (of the shooter) I have a 1905 M&P 4th. change, and a Model 67. My technic could use some work, along with more practice. Any help would be appreciated. I keep reading about guys putting 6 shots in a half dollar group at 25 yards. Wish I could that! Thanks in advance! Bob

Regardless of the style of pistol/revolver shooting you choose, be it bullseye, PPC. ICORE, IDPA, etc etc, you need to get the fundamentals down first.

You'll not find a better book the the Army Marksmanship Units, "Service Pistol Guide". It's put out by the CMP/AMU for $6.95. Don't let the price turn you off. It's the Mission of the CMP and AMU to instruct Civilians in Marksmanship. You'll not find a better reference by anyone at any price.

Study the book, once you get the fundamentals down, then you can move to the "action" style pistol shooting.

I totally agree about the AMU pistol guide. This website has an electronic copy of it for your reference.

The Encyclopedia of Bullseye Pistol

If you have a range/club nearby that has competition matches (Bullseye,PPC,Action Pistol,etc) go watch them practice or shoot a match. In my experience, most competitive shooters at local ranges are glad to help you and help you with your shooting.
