help you make adjustments, like making sure you know how
to use your sights correctly. Getting you comfortable and
using a few tricks along the way helps improve your overall
performance. If your instructor has the heart of a teacher,
they will be patient with you and guide you. Watching you
improve and keeping you motivated is what an instructor
is there for. If you do it right, you’ll quickly appreciate the
adage that, “Your worst day at shooting beats your best day
at work.”
To keep things fun and students motivated, I also incorporate
a mixture of ‘reactive’ targets in the lesson such as spinners,
gongs and clay targets. Shooting paper 24/7 can get boring,
even for the most hardcore shooter. If you stay dedicated
and learn all you can, whether through instruction, reading
or practice, you will do great. As your gain experience
and knowledge you may wish to explore other shooting
disciplines such as Trap, Sporting Clays, Benchrest or IPSC.
Please don’t let yourself get dissuaded by the politics of gun
control or the uninformed opinions of the anti-gun elements
within our society. Such groups believe that guns are
somehow inherently bad regardless of circumstance. They’re
wrong. Firearms are tools like any other and can provide
hours of fun, put food on the table and protect you and your
family in the hands of a law-abiding owner.
If you find you like what you’re doing, becoming a
responsible gun owner just makes sense, and will help make
our community that much stronger. Join like minded people
and groups that fight to save your right to target shoot, self
protection and hunt such as the NFA. The National Firearms
Association wants and needs your support.
I hope you have found this article as fun to read as I had
writing it. My passion for the shooting sports is only eclipsed
by the love of my family, who are all shooters. My goal here
is to see you become a law-abiding, responsible and safe
shooter. One day you may very well get the opportunity to
teach other women the skills you have mastered as a result.
Please do not let it pass you by. It only through sharing and
mutual support that our gun rights and sport will survive, so
be proud of what you do. That said I hope to see you on the
firing line very soon!
Congratulations Mr. Paul Jacobs!

provided that will interest the modern day owner of an
antique single shot or any other cartridge rifle. Whether
casting bullets, loading cartridges, sighting or shooting, the
techniques provided will help you obtain the best possible
accuracy from your firearm.
I highly recommend Reloading Tools, Sights and Telescopes
for Single Shot Rifles to anyone who has an interest in old
firearms. There are a variety of specialized books that cover
these individual topics in greater detail but they tend to be
quite expensive and difficult to locate. Finding an inexpensive
book that contains sufficient detail to satisfy most readers is
quite unusual.
Searching the internet located copies of Reloading Tools,
Sights and Telescopes for Single Shot Rifles at a number
of online book dealers. Prices quoted for the book were
very reasonable ranging from $12 used to $13.95 new.
However, shipping and handling costs are extremely high.
Dixie Gunworks, for example, has this book listed at $13.95,
plus $5.95 shipping, as well as a $10 surcharge for Canadian
orders for a total of $29.90, US if ordered individually.
Perhaps you could ask your local gun store if they could
obtain a copy for you. This may encourage dealers to stock a
variety of gun books for their customers to purchase.
