I thought that perhaps I’d write a post where I write what I like to do when I’m NOT doing SEO, and tag 3 other bloggers to do the same. Kinda like hobbies, sports, etc.

I thought this would be a nice way to getting to know our fellow bloggers, it’s a social game, and each player is guaranteed at least 3 links.

RULES of the BLOG TAG game:
1) Tell who tagged you, and link to them.
2) Tag 3 other bloggers.

Anyone can play. Just please follow those 2 simple rules.

So, here goes…
When I’m NOT doing SEO I like to go to the gun range and engage in competitive target shooting. One of my favorite toys is the Smith & Wesson Model 625 .45 caliber revolver (pictured).

It’s not just “point and shoot”. Here’s a few quick pointers on shooting technique:

First and foremost…Gun Safety: Finger always off trigger. Never point muzzle at anyone. Pretend it is a light saber that extends out forever. Never look into muzzle.

Breathing: Take deep breath. Exhale 50%. Hold.
Stance: Feet shoulder breadth apart. Lean slightly forward. Slightly bend knees.
Draw - Without finger on trigger. Point like child. More accurate shot. Lock arms out.
Sighting: Target should be blurry. Focus on your sight at the tip of the barrel.
Trigger pull: Gun shouldn’t move during the entire trigger pull. Squeeze trigger straight back. Kinda like you’re holding & squeezing a 2×4.
Holding the gun: Push your right hand into your left hand, while your left hand is pulling your right hand (if that makes sense).

Here’s a video of Smith & Wesson’s champion revolver shooter, Jerry Miculek:
