All The Better To Shoot Rob Leatham, left, confers with Mike Dalton at an '80s steel challenge. Commencing with the first issue of American Handgunner, which had an excerpt from Bill Jordan's classic No Second Place Winner, we have covered the techniques as well as the tools of handgun shooting. We've had many articles by top shooters, including a regular column by the greatest handgunner to ever squeeze a competition trigger, Rob Leatham. Jon, incidentally, left magazine writing and went to the bigs, writing several best-selling books, like The Portable Curmudgeon and The Rich Are Different.
New guns come and go, but the basics of shooting remain.
Researching and writing this column and receiving feedback from shooters as far away as Israel and France has been most rewarding. Equally rewarding have been letters from shooters who had tried one suggestion or another and found that their shooting improved. For our 25th anniversary issue, I've selected a few favorite topics from past columns. Get American Handgunner .
