FUNDAMENTALS OF RIFLE
MARKSMANSHIP
1. Firing Position
2. Aiming
3. Breath Control
4. Trigger Control
5. Follow Through

Elements of Steady Position
A. Rifle Butt Position
B. Cheek to Stock Weld
C. Muscle Relaxation
Elements of Steady Position
A. Rifle Butt Position - The butt of the
rifle is placed in the pocket of the
firing shoulder. this reduces the effect
of recoil and helps ensure the steady
position.
B. Cheek to Stock Weld - Is the
point of firm contact between your
cheek and the stock of the rifle.
C. Muscle Relaxation - The firer
should be able to relax most of his
muscle which will allow to aim at a
target in natural and consistent
manner.

the target.
ELEMENTS OF AIMING

A. Correct Sight Alignment


B. Correct Sight Picture
C. Breathing Control
D. Trigger Control
Elements Of Aiming

A. Correct Sight Alignment Placing


the center tip of the front sight post
in the exactly center of the rear
sight.
B. Correct Sight Picture - The front sight
post and the rear sight aligned and to
the desired aiming point to the target.
SIGHT ALIGNMENT SIGHT PICTURE
C. Breathing Control

If the shooters breaths while trying to


aim, the rise and fall of his chest
causes the rifle to move.

sight alignment during breathing. he
first inhales and exhale normally and
stop at the moment of natural
respiratory pause.
