Here, point and shoot.â These words from his father propelled Buz Fawcettâs shooting success as a child, gaining him a number of High Gun awards at local trap clubs by the time he was fourteen. Because of his success, his father awarded him his grandfatherâs Model 1912 Winchester, which he mastered, even though it âkicked the wheyâ out of him.
However, his amazing shooting abilities as a kid didnât follow him into adulthood. Fawcett entered into what he calls his âDark Agesâ of shooting after accepting an associate editor position at Sports Afield in New York City, where he had to read and edit what other gunmen were writing about shooting techniques. Eventually, he took a position as editor of Guns & Ammo magazine, located in California. He soon found himself in a position where he could shoot as much as he liked.
After a number of years and extensive research into shooting methods, Fawcett rediscovered his talents through a technique called âInstinctive Shooting.â This research and a lot of practice finally led to teaching a workshop on instinctive shooting to help others become adept at this miraculous âpoint and shootâ method. Instinctive Shooting is Fawcettâs guide for other gunmen, describing exactly how and what needs to be done to achieve the ultimate shooting instincts. Practical and hands-on, the book covers such topics as determining your dominant eye, achieving proper shotgun fit, how to correct point and shoot, selecting equipment, practice regimens, mounting, and much more.
