INTRODUCTION:

WE HAVE OFTEN HEARD THE SAYING, "PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT".


THIS IS NOT ALWAYS TRUE. IF YOU PRACTICE SOMETHING INCORRECTLY
IT WILL NEVER BE PERFECT NOR WILL YOU EVER IMPROVE. THE SAYING
SHOULD BE, "PERFECT PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT".

THIS GUIDE IS DESIGNED TO ASSIST AN INDIVIDUAL IN


DEVELOPING HIS/HER SKILL IN THE 3 GUN SHOOTING ARENA. IN ORDER
TO INSURE THAT ALL TASKS/EXERCISES ARE EASILY UNDERSTOOD, IT IS
ASSUMED THAT THE READER HAS LITTLE OR NO COMPETITIVE SHOOTING
EXPERIENCE. READ AND ACCOMPLISH EACH TASK/EXERCISE AS WRITTEN.
MANY OF THEM CONTAIN MENTAL TRAINING WHICH MAY NOT BE
IMMEDIATELY APPARENT.

FIFTY-EIGHT PERCENT OF THE TASKS IN THIS GUIDE ARE FIRED ON


EITHER BLANK OR PRACTICE (NO SCORING RINGS) CENTERS. THIS
PLACES EMPHASIS ON GROUPS AND CENTERED SHOTS RATHER THAN ON
SCORE. IF THE GROUP IS TIGHT AND CENTERED THE SCORE WILL TAKE
CARE OF ITSELF.

EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOST RAPID DEVELOPMENT WILL


BE ACHIEVED WHEN A SHOOTER BOTH PRACTICES AND SHOOTS A MATCH
WITH A SPECIFIC GOAL IN MIND. IT IS ALSO UNDERSTOOD THAT NO TWO
INDIVIDUALS ARE EXACTLY ALIKE SO THAT SOME WILL LEARN AND
PROGRESS FASTER THAN OTHERS. FOR THESE REASONS THIS GUIDE IS
DESIGNED TO BE GOAL ORIENTED AND SELF-PACED. AS EACH GOAL IS
ACCOMPLISHED, THE MENTAL AND PHYSICAL SKILLS THAT ARE LEARNED OR
REFINED WILL BE EMPLOYED IN LATER GOALS AND THE SHOOTER'S
ABILITY WILL AUTOMATICALLY IMPROVE.

TWO-THIRDS OF 3-GUN SHOOTING IS DONE AT THE 25-YARD LINE IN


EITHER TIMED OR RAPID FIRE. SHOOTING EXPERIENCE OFTEN PROVES
THAT, "A PISTOL MATCH IS WON AT THE 50 YARD LINE AND LOST DURING
RAPID FIRE." THEREFORE, A PRINCIPLE ASSUMPTION IN THIS GUIDE IS
THAT THE 25-YARD LINE MUST BE MASTERED BEFORE TIME IS SPENT
SHOOTING THE 50-YARD SLOW FIRE.

IT IS OFTEN SAID THAT A WINNER IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY GIFTED


OR EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUAL. WHILE THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO
FIT THIS DEFINITION, WE HAVE BASED THIS TRAINING PROGRAM ON THE
BELIEF THAT A WINNER IS AN ORDINARY INDIVIDUAL WITH
EXTRAORDINARY DETERMINATION TO BE THE BEST. TO PUT THIS ANOTHER
WAY, HE OR SHE HAS AN ALL-CONSUMING DESIRE TO WIN!
