PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg

PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg
Some priciples:
– the shoulder is in the direction of the shooting line
– the head is turned towards the target
– Limited neck and collar-muscle-flexibility may

require to open up the shooting position slightly

PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg
Some more priciples:

– The centre of gravity has to be in the centre of
the feet
– The position has to be adjusted to individual

physiological charateristics

PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg
Position of the feet:

– parallel and shoulder – wide
– Feet 90 degree to the target

PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg
normal position feet too far apart

option with increases

limited flexibility stability sidewards

PISTOL SHOOTING
Feet / Leg
Knees should be straight, not bent, with light

muscle tension
Recoil can be absorbed best
Longest possible sighting line

Shoulder- and breast-muscles have similar
impact on arm

PISTOL SHOOTING
Body
The upper body should be

upright and the bodyweight
should be distributed equally
on both legs
The centre of gravity is in the

centre of the feet
In order to balance out the

weight of the pistol, the upper
body can slightly be bend
backwards. It should not go
too far, intervertebral discs
can be affected negatively!
PISTOL SHOOTING
Body
The upper body

should not be twisted
sidewards with the

hips
Left and right

shoulder stay above
the feet.
PISTOL SHOOTING
Arm
Wrist well fixed

Arm streched out
straight
Shoulder in natural
position, not raised
Non-shooting shoulder
relaxed and hanging
down
Non-shooting arm well
fixed

PISTOL SHOOTING
Arm
How to „store“ the left arm?


PISTOL SHOOTING
Head
The position of the head and thereby the

view on the sights has always to be similar
A straight head towards sights and target is
crucial for an optimal visual acuity

The organ being responsible for the balance
is located in the ear. Any incorrect position of
the head requires extra attention to balance
the body

Corrections:
Step 1: Step 2: Step 3:

turning the head… ..make it horizontal… …almost perfect!
PISTOL SHOOTING
Head
Things can
easily be seen
even from
behind. ..

PISTOL SHOOTING
Head
Why is my frontsight very

often disappearing to the left
after a while of shooting???
Do I have to change the

grip???
No, the solution is very

easy…
…keep the head straight!!!

PISTOL SHOOTING
Shooting technique Air Pistol


PISTOL SHOOTING
4 technical elements
Breathing - is giving the rhythm of the shot

Moving - upward movement – inhale
downward movement - exhale
Aiming - the work of the eye - sighting

Triggering - the work of the trigger finger to
make the 10 into the 10
Coordination of all 4 technical elements

PISTOL SHOOTING
The 5 stages in precision shooting
Preparing …for the upcoming task

Lifting …the arm and starting the process

(1. breath of air)
Working …on all elements
(2. breath of air)
Releasing …the shot in the aiming area
Follow through …after the shot

PISTOL SHOOTING
Coordination
In the overall coordination all 4 technical

elements will be linked in each phase one to
another.
During the training process individual

elements or phases have to be practised
thouroghly in order to get a high level of
automatism for the competition situation.
Only individual points are supported actively
by our thougts (self instructions).
