The First Shots, How To Properly Shoot A Firearm
Shooting The Firearm - How To Properly Shoot A Firearm, The First Shots -The Most Important Fundamentals: Of all the fundamentals of marksmanship, sight alignment and trigger control are undoubtedly the two most important. It is possible to shoot accurately employing just these two fundamentals, with an incorrect grip, standing on one leg, incapacitated in one arm and breathing furiously. Review The Shot Corrections Chart
However, perfect grip, stance, breath control and follow through will not help, if your student cannot align the sights and manipulate the trigger without disturbing the sights. In fact, sight alignment and trigger control can be thought of as the fundamentals and the remainder as aids to these two.
Sight Alignment and Trigger Control Must be
Applied Simultaneously: or “together,” or “at the same
time,” or “concurrently” and the major issue is the
conscious mind’s ability to do only one thing at a time.
Correct trigger manipulation MUST be trained into the
subconscious.
PROPER BREATHING BEFORE AND AFTER SHOOTING
Physical: Deep breaths increase oxygen in the bloodstream,
which will Strengthen Muscles, Clear Vision, Aid
Concentration and Consistency in Marksmanship. Our
instructors do not let the students take a breath and let
half of it out. This position is not so easily repeatable
and holding in half a lung full of air induces muscular
tension into the position.
The Use of Breath Control
| If In Close Quarters, This Is Not Important:. At close distances, it is not important to control breathing. | Proper Breathing - Aids Shot Placement at Longer Distances: Also when taking more precise shots. In The Natural Respiratory Pause: This is the ideal time to accomplish trigger squeeze. It is the time when the body is most at rest. |
It is also the most easily repeated position.
Depending on stress levels and physical exertion,
the Natural Respiratory Pause can last as long as
five seconds. |
