31. Marksmanship Fundamentals The four fundamentals are:
Steady position
Aim
Breath control
Trigger squeeze
32. Steady Position A shooter must assume a comfortable, steady position in order to hit targets consistently.
The elements of a steady position include: Non-firing hand grip, rifle butt position, firing hand grip, firing elbow placement, non-firing elbow placement, stock weld, support, muscle relaxation, and natural point of aim.
33. Aiming Aiming involves correct site alignment, correct sight picture, and focusing on the front sight.
Once a shooter learns to aim correctly, he must do the same procedure every shot.
Accuracy is consistency; consistency is accuracy.
34. Breath Control During zeroing or slow fire on single targets, a shooter simply holds his breath momentarily and shoots.
The shot must be fired before any discomfort results or the lay of the rifle will be disturbed.
35. Trigger Control All of the fundamentals are important but, trigger control is the most critical!!!
It is also the fundamental that shooters perform incorrectly most often.
36. Shot-Group Analysis
37. Improper Trigger Squeeze
38. Shooter Error
39. Shot-Group Analysis
40. 25 Meter Zero The shooter fires two separate, three-round shot groups and numbers them.
Based on the shot groups and info provided on the target, the shooter computes the changes needed.
41. 25 Meter Zero Here the shooter needs to move the strike of his rounds down 2 clicks and to the left 10 clicks.
After the sight adjustment, 2 more 3-round groups are fired to confirm they are hitting center mass.
42. 25 Meter Zero
43. Zeroed By applying the four fundamentals and using shot group analysis, a shooter should have no problem achieving a good zero and moving on to becoming qualified with his rifle.
