One of my current goals is getting more involved in precision shooting and competition. It shouldn’t be a surprise that precision has been on my mind a lot lately. As I’ve been doing more and more reading and research, I’ve come across a few interesting ways of thinking about things that I want to share with you.
- Chapter 1: Cadet Safety and Civilian Marksmanship Program Lesson 1: History of Marksmanship Unit 7: Cadet Safety and Civilian Marksmanship Program 5 Target shooting is a sport where women and men compete equally.In shooting neither sex has an advantage.
- Marksmanship is the foundation of this blog. It teaches us discipline, patience, and focus. There is no substitute for practice and experience.
- A Girl & A Gun is a club by women shooters for women shooters. Through our network of caring and qualified instructors, events, clinics, and training opportunities, we offer women the ability to improve their marksmanship and make new friends.

MoreHow to Breathe for Better Marksmanship
September 17, 2019 10 Comments MarksmanshipOne of the easily overlooked areas of good marksmanship is controlling your breathing. I really believe it’s one of those things that everyone knows they should get control of it, but good breath control becomes one of the first marksmanship fundamentals to go out the window as pressure mounts.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been in the midst of a stage and didn’t even think about my breathing until after it was over. Of course, then I try to go backwards and wonder if I did it correctly anyway, or if I did it wrong and it cost me a little bit of performance.
