This handbook is a 'primer' for the new target shooter: introducing
the firearms, shooting disciplines and firearm technology, and
drawing on the expertise of Bisley, the home of British and
Commonwealth target shooting. The book is organized into nine
sections and over 60 deliberately short chapters. First the basics:
Part A - Target Shooting Basics - introduces the different shooting
disciplines available. Part B - Firearms and Shooting Equipment -
covers the different rifles, handguns, shotguns, black powder and
airguns used by target shooters. Then we look at the major shooting
disciplines which I have grouped into: Part C - Target Rifle
Disciplines - provides a short overview of each of the main target
rifle disciplines, such as Fullbore, Smallbore, High Power,
Benchrest and Air Rifle. Part D - Target Pistol and Gallery
Disciplines - covers target pistol shooting on so-called Gallery
ranges. Part E - Historic Arms Disciplines - introduces shooting
with black powder and muzzleloader firearms. Part F - Military and
Practical Disciplines - provides an introduction to disciplines
involving service weapons and military-style competitions. Part G -
Field Sports Disciplines - as the name suggests, target disciplines
based around field sports, such as Clay Pigeon and Field Target
(Air Rifle). And finally we cover: Part H - Shooting Techniques -
introduces marksmanship with rifles, handguns, shotguns and
airguns. Part I - Specialist Skills - a group of chapters
introducing skills and knowledge, such as the correct cleaning of
firearms, hand loading ammunition, and the selection and fitting of
sights. We have tried to keep each 'chapter' as short as possible,
and provide references to further information (especially on the
Web). More importantly we provide contact details for each of the
target shooting disciplines. We hope you enjoy this handbook and it
helps you get the most from target shooting.
