If we simplify Art to its essential essence and perfection as the Ancient Greeks did—what do we find?
Sculpture is proportion and the essential planes.
What else is mechanics?
Science reduces all to the ONE UNIVERSAL FIRST CAUSE, and this is also the foundation of all religion.
In pistol shooting, all resolves itself into aligning the pistol and discharging the bullet.
The shortest distance from one point to another is the straight line.
Therefore do not “flourish” or “brandish” the pistol up and down before discharging it.
Merely bring it to alignment and discharge it in so doing.
Time is wasted if the trigger is pressed after alignment. Therefore begin pressing the trigger as the pistol is coming to the level.
This is the whole art of pistol shooting.
