Welcome to the first installment of our new Shooting 101 series<\/a>! As I explained in an\u00a0article last week<\/a>, I’ve noticed a big need for concise, easily digested resources that cater to the absolute beginning shooter who needs to learn just a few basics before they get more in-depth instruction. A lot of us have gotten that call late at night from a friend or family member that goes along the lines of, “Hey, I just bought a gun. How do I load it!?” Or maybe you\u00a0are<\/em> that friend or family member right now. If so, this series is for you.<\/p>

We’re starting things off with a basic introduction to double action revolvers (don’t worry too much about what “double action” means at this point. This article will cover 98% of the revolvers made in the last 100 years). A lot of this info is best communicated via show-and-tell, so I recommend watching the video below. But if you’d rather read, the full transcript is also provided, though a few points have been changed up a bit to make up for what’s lost in translation to the written word.<\/p>
