First experience at the range!

Post by kunald » Sun Jul 01, 2012 10:23 pm

Hi everyone.
I recently signed up for airgun shooting classes.
This is a new range that opened at Patel Nagar, New Delhi, called Sportzcraft.
I'm being taught how to shoot under the expert guidance of Mr. Mehboob Khan.
The range is great and the coaches are friendly and helpful. (It's an eight lane range)
I've started shooting with the Pardini Kid pistol.
Please do give me shooting tips. :)
I will attach some pictures of the targets i shot.
If anyone wants to know more about this range, their website is http://www.sportzcraft.com
It's located at 7/2, basement, near Patel Nagar metro station, East Patel Nagar, New Delhi

I'd heard about this range. Thanks for the link.

Suggestions?
Practise, practise, practise.
Your groups are getting tighter. Well done

kunal,
You are lucky in that you have access to a range and that you are a member of this forum. Being a member of this forum allows you to access the wisdom of a great shooter and shooting coach. If you are really interested in becoming a good shot, read hvj1's post, Tips on pistol Shooting, from the beginning to the end and you will be surprised at how much you will have learned.
All the best.

From your targets, it looks like you are having fun. There is nothing like challenging yourself to master accurate shooting. Please keep us posted on your progress -- you know, luck doesn't really have a lot to do with it! It's practice, practice, and more practice, trying to overcome bad habits and a lack of concentration, that will put you solidly in the black. I'd say you are off to an excellent start!
