Breath in.

Breath out.

Squeeze the trigger.

--US ARMY Basic Rifle Marksmanship.

Is it true you shoot best at half breath?

there was a great hypnosis debunking series from some british hypnotist where he demonstrated that you can become a dead eye shot via hypnosis - marksmanship is mostly a mental discipline, of course you have to be able to maintain the weapon and it's adequately zeroed but other than that it's about a mental state

You shoot best breathing out and squeezing the trigger. I shot expert. 200 meters without any scope I could help you find Jesus very fast. Prone position is great as you can shift about 30 degrees and cover quite a bit of battlefield.

We used to practice by shoving a pencil in the end of the M16-A2 or A1 and balancing a nickel $0.05 USD coin on the #2 pencil. You practiced sighting and you also would fire without knocking the coin off.

I could teach anyone to shoot well.

Ironically I have zero handgun skills. I never did the pistol work. I called in Artillery and I shot M60 and M16.

I think you'll particularly enjoy the first one. Both are really good for improving the focus, even if you don't like archery or tennis.

rifles are "easy". Handgun is a beast.

(by very average IPSC shooter)

Everything in the US Army is easy. Like the Claymore mine says, "FRONT TOWARD ENEMY"

I kindof think that's for draftees' benefit 😂

the least intelligent and/or skilled must be able to operate these things without, hopefully, eliminating the squad

I've aways found interesting how they captured this in M*A*S*H tv show.

Amen

Thanks I needed that
