About This Book

The manual presents a practical method for learning snap shooting with a .22 rifle using a bell-ball target, defining snap shooting as aligning sights instinctively between eye and target in a single motion. It opens with safety rules and recommended equipment, then details roles (firer, tosser, scorer), posture, loading, and cleaning. Step-by-step exercises progress from vertical shots to cross, drop, incoming, and trap shots, including indoor suspended-target practice. Emphasis is placed on economy, rapid reloading, quickness of action, consistent practice, and perseverance to develop reliable instinctive aiming and high hit rates.
