American Sharpshooter Launches LDR System, Handgun Edition, Bringing Training and Safety to Shooters Across the Country The Handgun Edition of the American Sharpshooter LDR System released in June 2010 brings professional guidance and training to shooters through live fire and dry fire drills, targets and more for the average price of a box of ammunition. The system is available in shooting ranges around the country and at the americansharpshooter.com website. Seattle, WA (PRWEB) August 3, 2010 - American Sharpshooter today announced the launch of the LDR System, Handgun Edition, designed to help handgun owners learn to effectively shoot in defensive situations. "Too many people feel that simply owning a handgun will save their life," says Ron White, President of American Sharpshooter. "In some cases, that may be true. Simply brandishing your weapon might deter some criminals." "But listen, if you are facing a violent criminal who is armed and has the will to kill," continues White, "only practice and familiarity with the weapon will save your life. It needs to be muscle memory. You won't get that from shooting 50 rounds at a silhouette or zombie target twice a year. By using the American Sharpshooter's LDR System, you will definitely increase your chances of surviving a violent encounter." Shooters using the American Sharpshooter LDR System can train to become faster with a high level of combat accuracy so they are better prepared if violent crime comes their way. The American Sharpshooter LDR System includes: Targets - These are not simple bulls-eyes or silhouettes. The American Sharpshooter targets are engineered with specific scenarios and skills in mind. The targets are overlaid with the American Sharpshooter LDR Accuracy System so you can quickly and easily determine how accurate you are with each drill. Drills - The drills include both live fire and dry fire drills, and come in three categories, which include Back to Basics, Skill Builder, and Sharpshooter, with each category increasingly more difficult. Each drill is designed for a specific target and focuses on different fundamentals such as trigger control, recoil management, target acquisition, etc . There are also drills that involve a shooting partner if you go to the range with a friend. Logbook - The logbook is the key to the American Sharpshooter LDR System. With the logbook you can: • Track all live fire and dry fire activity • Know how many total rounds you have fired through your weapon • Learn which magazines never fail, and which you should only use at the range • Discover which ammunition is the most accurate and reliable in your firearm • Quickly determine what skill or scenario you need to practice at the range today • Find out if you are more accurate this month than you were last month "Not everybody can afford to spend thousands of dollars to travel across the country for a week long class with high-quality trainers. The American Sharpshooter LDR System is designed to bring that high-quality training to you, so you can train at your own pace and at your local shooting range. It doesn't get any easier or more affordable than that." For more information visit http://www.americansharpshooter.com/LDRSystem.aspx.
