Question 8

factors that effect aim

Answer 8

Stockweld, eye strain, eye relief, scope shadow, perception of scope alignment, sight glare, scope parallax, body alignment, stability of hold, breath control, natural respiratory pause, trigger control, grip and trigger finger placement, proper trigger control, follow through

Question 9

Stockweld

Answer 9

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.

Question 10

eye strain

Answer 10

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.

Question 11

eye relief

Answer 11

distance from eye to optic. usually 1.5 inches. use 3 fingers for measuring. improper eye relief will cause scope shadow.

Question 12

perception of scope alignment

Answer 12

wearing of glasses or shooting glasses can alter the PSA look through the center of the lens.

Question 13

Answer 13

too bright makes reticle Bleed.

Answer 21

continued application of the fundamentals until round exits the barrel.

Question 22

correcting trigger controll

Answer 22

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.
