Getting Started

Post by HBfromstl »

Is there a website or a book somewhere that goes over the basics of Bullseye shooting (not form, but procedure, necessary gear, and etiquette). Besides a gun and Ammo, what do you need?
Spotting Scope?
Shooting Box?
Gun Rug?

I'd just like to get a good idea of what's needed and the rules of the game.

Thanks,
HB

HB,

If you are shooting out of a club just go when they are practicing and see if you can jump in on a relay. I think you will find that we are a friendly group and they will answer any questions you have. All you really need is a gun, ammo hearing and eye protection though a scope is helpful for some. I have found it is better not to look at the scope when shooting in a match because it kind of makes you think of the bad shots(just my opinion). When you first start out you will probably be more concerned with just keeping them in the black and if it is not you can see that without a scope.

Not exactly a "how to" document, but you might finds some things here that are not in the other references that were mentioned. Good luck and good shooting. Maybe we'll meet on the line sometime. Cecil

You're welcome. Most the earlier stuff got lost when the bullseye-list was lost a couple of years ago. Thirty downloads was more than I expected. I'll leave it up for a while longer until the interest wains.

Thanks again.

Mr. Rhodes,

I also wanted to say thank you for your article.

I'm approaching mid-life and just about to chase a personal Bullseye challenge with effectively zero pistol experience.

Your information, and tone, was spot on.

You used to post on the bullseye list. Do you have any other information or advise?
