YM778.TV Chapter 60 Leave
But as she continued to practice, she started to get a grip of the weapon and was later able to make some nice shots. She was finally able to make some nice shots, she shot through some objects, smiling a little as she also shot some bullets into some trees.
This powerful instrument of destruction, the power it has and the respect it commanded fascinated her so much, Xzavier knew the gun would have this effect and that was why he gifted her the gun. He wanted to help her in boosting her self-esteem and a gun was his only option for doing it, being the special forces soldiers that he was.
"Okay Tacy, listen and listen well. There must not be mistake here or you are dead." Xzavier said confidently.
Xzavier handed Tacy his pistol slowly and carefully, after the pistol is in her hand, Xzavier let go of the pistol calmly.
"Take a closer look at me and do exactly as I do." Xzavier instructed flatly.
Then he continued…
"There are five rules guiding the usage of this pistol in your hands, number one is Keep your grip high and tight." He stopped for a while and continued.
"How you hold the handgun is key to controlling recoil and can even slightly make up for a sloppy trigger pull. Unfortunately, the grip is also one of the things that shooters tend to get wrong."
"If you pull this gun on someone or some people, Tacy, then you must be ready to really use it. This is the power over life and death in the palms of your hands," Xzavier explained to her.
"The most popular handgun stances include the Isosceles, the Weaver and the Chapman. There is no "best" stance. All three have their advantages and disadvantages. Experiment with different stances and choose one that you feel most comfortable with."
"When holding a handgun, your grip should be high and tight, meaning there should be no spaces between your flesh and the gun when you grip it. Having spaces in between your hand and the gun means that there is room for the gun to move when it recoils. The web of your hand should go as high as possible without interfering with the slide, and your non-dominant hand should come forward to fill the empty space on the grip panel."
"Get Your Stance Right." He stopped for a while to see if she was getting it or not and then he continued.
"Fast and accurate handgun shooting demands a stable shooting stance. A proper handgun shooting stance will set you up for success in other areas, such as sight alignment, trigger control and recoil management."
"And the number three is use the front sigh, you got that?"
He stopped for a while to see if she was getting it right but Tacy was busy adjusting hands and head to focus on her target while Xzavier continued taking three steps backward.
\'One of the biggest mistakes that beginner shooters tend to make is looking directly at their target as opposed to their front sight. If you\'re shooting for pure accuracy, you need to line up the front and rear sights. The front sight should be in clear focus, while the rear sights are somewhat fuzzy."
"Don\'t pull the trigger until you see that your sights are aligned. This will only instill bad shooting habits that will be hard to break."
He paused and watch her sigh in understanding of all what he has been saying.
"Another rule is work on recoil anticipation. It is necessary you recoil anticipation screws up a lot of hand gunners. This is one of the reasons why dry firing—shooting without live ammo—is so important because it helps build muscle memory that can help you overcome recoil anticipation. If you find yourself flinching in anticipation of the recoil, try to pull the trigger as if you were just dry firing it and let the gun do its thing."
"Dry firing is perfectly safe for the most part (the exception being the rimfire guns) and can significantly improve your handgun accuracy. Keep in mind that the four rules of gun safety still apply to dry firing. So when you\'re finished dry firing your pistol, be sure to immediately return it to the pistol case. People have dry firing accidents when they get distracted, load their firearm and return to "dry firing," only to experience a loud bang. A handgun case can help prevent unnecessary accidents."
"And another is to earn proper trigger squeeze or press." Xzavier observed Tacy\'s seriousness to learn shoot fast and he increased his energy in teaching her. He continued
"despite trigger pull being one of the most important aspects of handgun shooting, it\'s often easily neglected by beginner and experienced shooters alike. If you have your sights lined up and your shot is still veering off the left or the right, an improper trigger pull is probably to blame."
"That\'s the end of today\'s practice." Xzavier noted.
After teaching Tacy how to use a gun, it was time for Xzavier to leave the underground exchange behind and head to city Victoria, the capital city of Princy State. The thought of him leaving started to weigh heavily on Tacy, and although she didn\'t want him to leave, she finally accepted the inevitability of his departure and they both waved each other goodbye.

The very next day, Xzavier woke up in fresh sheets and a warm bed for the first time in a really long while. His adventures had deprived him of some of the basic comforts of life, so Xzavier took his time to savor the feeling before slipping out of bed. His eyes opened to the comfort of the hotel room and drank in the comely ambience of the loftiness of the space.
The lighting from the morning sun which filtered in from the window facing east covered the room in a kind of golden glow.
The golden rays bounced off the white cotton sheets, the white walls and the white sculptures, making it seem like he had woken up in paradise.
