"The Book

you have your target in your sights, you breathe calmly and then the shot!

Whether you shoot at cans or at targets, with balls, arrows, lasers or, later on, with actual sport ammunition, you want to be able to hit your target. That requires knowledge of your sport, the proper technique and equipment. How do you concentrate at just the right moment, keep your nerve and hit the target?

We would like this book to be your practice companion. We will give you important information about equipment, techniques and about your physical fitness. You will get tips for practicing at home and we will tell you how to recognize and avoid mistakes.

The little stork will accompany you throughout the book. He is very skil- led at using his long, pointy beak and almost always hits his tar- get. He will tell you lots about the shooting sports, will

give you tips on safety and how a healthy lifestyle

will help you succeed. In addition, the little stork offers you many opportunities for recording, filling in, coloring and doing brain twi sters and he even wants to give you an award at the end. Have fun!"
