The Proper Way to Break in Your Firearm

The Proper Way to Break in Your Firearm

The title of this post is a bit misleading I am afraid. The truth is that I could not possibly know the proper way to break in each and every firearm but I still wanted to address this topic because it is extremely important. So many people out there purchase a brand new firearm, just lock it up in their closet or keep it in the top drawer of their dresser “just in case”. This is the absolute worst thing you can do.

It is critical that upon purchasing your new firearm that you break it in properly and the proper way to break in your firearm is to follow the manufacturer’s directions to the tee. This isn’t necessarily going to be the fastest process – often times a firearm will have to have over 500 rounds fired before it is considered to be “broken in”. You may even have to clean your firearm more frequently during this initial break in period.

The point is that you need to do whatever the manufacture instructs you to do because if you don’t your firearm may not shoot as accurately as it could potentially. The break in period is also an excellent time for you to learn about your firearm as not two firearms shoot exactly the same.

Safety Tips for the Shooting Range

Safety Tips for the Shooting Range

In a previous post I discussed the importance of quality practice time on the shooting range. Today, I want to discuss the importance of firearm safety on the shooting range.

One of the biggest mistakes a shooter can make is to assume everyone at the shooting range knows how to handle a firearm safely. It is imperative to maintain a heightened sense of awareness anytime you are around firearms and the shooting range is no exception! While enjoying the excitement of putting your rounds on target and concentrating on your fundamental shooting skills, it is easy to lose focus of your surroundings. Unfortunately, that is when someone who doesn’t have solid firearm safety habits can do something foolish and hurtthemselves or someone around them – maybe even you.

Here are just a few suggestions on how to keep yourself and your shooting party safe while at the shooting range:

• Everyone on the range is a Safety Officer! If you observe a shooter handling their firearm in an unsafe manner, immediately notify range management.
• Make sure you are familiar with all range rules. Yes, these are pretty standard from range to range but you never want to assume that they will be the same.
• Both eye protection and ear protection should be worn at all times.
• Firearms should remain unloaded at all times unless you are at a firing station preparing to engage your target.
• Always keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. (DOWN RANGE)
• Keep finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
• Know your target and what is behind it.
• Firearms should not be handled in any way while shooters are down range.
• Shooting and alcohol never mix. There should never be any kind of alcohol on the shooting range and if you see any kind of alcohol you should immediately contact range management or report it to the authorities.

These are just a few simple guidelines to help keep you and your shooting party safe at the shooting range. Again, always be aware of your surroundings and if you see something unsafe happening you need to report it right away. SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT!!!!

Developing Smooth Trigger Control-The Trigger Trainer

THE NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS IS WWW.TheTriggerTrainer.Net

Did you know that if you could perfect your trigger control you could improve your shooting accuracy and consistency by 100%? It isn’t complicated-in fact, it is quite the opposite. When you put your mind to improving this element of your shooting technique you will start seeing success in no time at all.
Trigger control is the ability to squeeze the trigger of your gun without disrupting your aim. The equation is simple-Perfect Trigger Control equals Accuracy. Yes, your stance, grip, as well as other elements of your shooting technique are very important but perfect trigger control is arguably the one that matters most.

The best way to develop perfect trigger control is to practice, practice, and practice. Practicing trigger control helps your finger develop the dexterity needed to complete the independent motion which leads to proper trigger control and then shooting accuracy. Until now shooters were limited on how they could complete this practice. Fortunately for all shooters alike, there is now an option available that will help build that perfect trigger control like never before.
It is called the The Trigger Trainer
