Q

Stockweld

A

point of firm contact between the stock and the shooters cheek. good stockweld helps create eye relief, it also allows the shooters head to be as erect as possible in order to have shooters eye look directly through the ocular lens.
-buttstock placement high in the shoulder pocket creates consistent stockweld. SW changes depending on the position.

Q

eye strain

A

improper placement of the head will cause the eye to rest in an unnatural position, this will fatigue the eye which can cause involuntary eye movement. ultimately eye fatigue will cause shooter to perceive the sights improperly, shots will be affected.

Q

correcting trigger controll

A

Observe the shooter for movement- you will see little or no movement then a quick pull of the trigger.
-fixed through dry fires and by having them relax slow down and not think about pulling the trigger, let that shot break on its own.

Q

A

Observe the shooter for movement- you will see little or no movement then a quick pull of the trigger.
-fixed through dry fires and by having them relax slow down and not think about pulling the trigger, let that shot break on its own.
-observe for muzzle movement- harder to tell during live fire recoil can mask the movement
-fixed by working on stability of hold, lots of shooters jerk trigger to try to get shot to break on target. have shooter accept the movement as long as its within the aiming area, shoot through it.
Observe a stationary object- coach stands behind shooter observing the FSP for movement.

54
Q

Steps to Drawing the Pistol

A
  • Place heel of support hand in front of center of chest. At the same time release the weapon retention device.
  • Grasp the pistol and draw the pistol straight up clearing the holster. Rotate muzzle forward to clear the body by dropping the elbow. Sweep the safety with the firing thumb.
  • Establish two handed grip on the pistol.
  • At the same time, start to punch the weapon out toward the target by extending the arms and rolling the front sight to the target.
55
Q

Purpose of Proper Grip w/Pistol

A

Grip pressure is evenly distributed around the pistol, minimizing the effects of recoil and allowing quicker recovery of the sights on target.
* Proper Grip controls the alignment of weapon sights and stabilizes the sights so an accurate shot may be fired.
