New Shooter Semi Auto Handgun Outline

New Shooter Shooting Skill Development Transition Process

For many reasons the semi auto is the most used handgun gun and for the first-time gun owner it also has the highest learning curve. The transitio n and learning curve from that of a new shooter to the proficient use of a typical self-defense semi auto handgun can be a challenging task. Learning curve is the time and cost to reach your goal. Variables: The learning curve can be steep or flat based on the following: 1. Prior experience and knowledge of the gun owner 2. Type of semi auto handgun purchased. This will affect 1. The time it takes to learn how to operate and shoot the handgun. 2. The cost to learn to shoot the handgun. The least desirable method is to pick up the gun, go to the range and start shooting. The most desirable is to divide the training into segments that you can build on the progress in a safe and orderly manner. One method that has proven to work well is the shooting skill development process. Each step is divided into a specific process that can be identified and learned without overloading the student with multiple tasks. An important part of our four-step training process is to ensure the safety of training, develop skills without fear and create the confidence the student will need to operate on his/her own. The steps are completed in a logical order, with each building on the previous skill. Learning to shoot a handgun is a muscle memory process that will form a repeatable habit on how a person learns to operate and shoot a handgun. A person will repeat what they have learned. If the person has developed bad or possible dangerous muscle memory habits, it is hard to correct them. Therefore, it is critical to the learning process that the new shooter repeats each step in the proper order required to operate and shoot a specific handgun.
