I taught myself to shoot handguns by doing a lot of reading and getting out to the range. I was then able many years later to go to some Civilian Firearm classes at a technical college in the area that were excellent.
Did some homework on home defence gun’s,bought one and joined the local range.Now I need to kill some paper,so the book would be nice
I first learned to shoot at Camp Pendelton, Ca as a member of the SeaBees in 1966. I have since refined my shooting as a member of my gun club by shooting in various NRA pistol matches.
I learned to shoot with my father as a teenager and I would like to win the book
I would like to win the book as it would be a valuable resource as the firearms instructor for a ministry security team.
I learned to shoot when I was a teen ager, and more recently training at the gun range as an adult. I would love to win the book!
I learned to shoot at 10 from my grandfather with a .22 rifle. Have not shot a pistol for some time but as I will have a new one soon, this book would come in handy.
Hope I can win.
I would like to win the book ………. many thanks.
Learned with a .22 in the Boy Scouts and once they put it in my hands I never let go.

I learned to shoot at my Uncle Curt’s farm in central Illinois at age 12 using a 30″ barrel Winchester ’97 that I could barely lift. Got a rabbit that day and had him for supper.

So, how do you enter the contest?? I have looked everywhere for a link….
You’re in Dave – only needed to post a comment. Good luck in the drawing!
Started with a Marlin Glenfield 60 .22 that I still have, and now is used by my grandsons. Tens of thousands of rounds later it’s in pristine condition.
Did yours have the tube magazine or the clip? I had one with a 10-shot clip. It was the first rifle I ever owned and was given to me by my dad. I fell on some hard times many years ago and had to sell it. I wish I had kept it. It was like new. I can’t find one like it anywhere…
I use to shoot dragonflies at the pond in my parents backyard with my bb gun when I was young. I learned to study the wind and anticipate when the dragonfly was going to hover or land someplace.
My 10 years in the military didn’t hurt my skills either (OIF, disabled vet.)
I would love to read this book whether I win it or not, but of course winning is always more fun.
Always looking for ways to improve. Would be another great addition to the book shelve.
Scouts taught me to shoot a good ol’ .22 when I was a young lad
Started at age six, with a daisy and a Winchester 22lr, shooting at anything my dad would let me.
can never have enough information on anything you are into, and any type of tactical shooting is always good to know.
I learned to shoot with my trusty red ryder. I took out many a rat at the trash dump before we got those pesty green containers….lol
I learned to shoot on my own as a kid. I wore out a Daisy BB gun, progressed to a pellet gun, then a .22 and eventaully a .22 revolver.
This book, this book would be helpful to me as a firearms instructor for an LE agency.
