HOW re, FIRE A PISTOL.
70 IL Not as Erratic weapon ~ May b
Imagined.

Imagined.
The expert revolver shooter will find
no difficulty in hitting silver dollar six
times in succession ut 12 yards. At the
same distance and with the same pistol
another man will have the chances
against him to hit a mark feet in diam
eter once in six shots.
The revolver has a very short barrel
at best, and the slightest deviation to
one side or the other in sighting will re-
suit in hopelessly wild shot The short
barrel, so to speak, exaggerates a miss,
and the short distance between the sights
makes it difficult TO keep them lined.
When one once learns in aiming to keep
his sights lined-i. e., the front sight di-
rectly in the center of the notch of the
rear sights-he will find that the great
difficulty Of revolver shooting is gone.
His arm may waver and the end of the
pistol barrel describe all sorts of para
bolas; but, provided his sights are In
perfect alignment, his shots will be sur
prisingly close TO the mark aimed at, and
certain proportion will find the bulls
eye.
The great thing is to keep the revolver
always an integral part of the arm that
supports it. Grasp it firmly with the
palm Of the hand and extend the thumb
In the direction of the barrel The
thumb, by its pressure on the side of the
pistol, keeps its axis in a perpendicular
plane parallel to that of the arm of the
shooter, so that at the moment the ham,
mer is released and the cartridge ex-
ploded the bullet will go in the direction
his arm is pointing. So important
part does the thumb play in sighting
that it is hardly an eXaggeration to say
that r man without IA thumb can never
hope to become fine shot.
In addition to the above. there Is an.
other cause Of inaccuracy in revolver
shooting that is not the fault of the
shooter, but is inherent in the weapon
itself. This cause is the tendency of the
short barrel to kick up and as "a result
to shoot high. 1t may be lessened by
firm hold at the moment OF firing, but
the best way, as Il rule, is TO experiment
with the pistol and then either have it
resighted or hold underin shooting. Ev-
cry one has noticed that the revolver as
it comes from the factory has an end
sight that is raised a quarter of an inch
or more from the barrel, while the rear
sight is very low, often merely notch
in the frame When the sights are prop
erly aligned, the barrel is consequently
pointing below the object aimed at. But
actually the recoil is greater than allow
ed for by these sights. and at any but
the very shortest distances most pistols
will shoot high. Ignorance of this fact
has more than once been the cause Of
loss of human life, and it is good advice,
unless you are willing to run the risk of
adead man on your hands, never to shoot
at burglars legs.
