Chapters detail all the fundamental skill areas and how to both explain, educate, and teach them to beginners and intermediate shooters. They include:
- Instructing psychology
- Coaching techniques
- Holding
- Positions
- Aiming
- Trigger squeeze
- Zeroing
- Sustained fire
and more...

Illustrated with over 70 carefully restored pictures and diagrams. This book is a must-have for anyone considering teaching shooting skills with the rifle, and also for novices who want to improve their mastery of the fundamentals necessary to become a competitive shooter. Don't miss out on this rare gem of basic instruction techniques.
