Marksmanship Proficiency Module
Objective
This module builds upon the foundational skills acquired in previous training and focuses on enhancing marksmanship proficiency. Participants will review essential safety protocols, delve into marksmanship principles, practice breathing techniques and trigger control, refine sight picture and sight alignment, and engage in live-fire precision shooting drills.
Module Outline
Review of Module #1
This section provides a brief recap of essential firearm safety rules and handling techniques covered in previous training modules. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions and clarify any safety protocols.
Marksmanship Principles
This section introduces fundamental marksmanship principles, including sight alignment, sight picture, trigger control, and follow-through. It explains how these principles contribute to accuracy and consistency in shooting.
Breathing Techniques and Trigger Control
Participants will receive instruction on proper breathing techniques for maintaining stability and control during shooting. Practical demonstrations and hands-on exercises will help develop breath control skills. Additionally, guidance will be provided on maintaining proper trigger control to minimize movement and anticipate recoil.
Sight Picture and Sight Alignment Drills
This section explains sight picture (alignment of the front and rear sights) and sight alignment (alignment of the sights with the target). Participants will engage in drills to reinforce proper sight picture and sight alignment techniques, receiving individualized feedback and correction to ensure optimal alignment.
Live-fire Exercises: Precision Shooting Drills
Participants will transition to the live-fire range for practical application of marksmanship principles. Precision shooting drills will focus on accuracy, consistency, and control. Target distances and sizes will be adjusted to challenge participants’ abilities and progressively increase difficulty. Experienced instructors will supervise and guide participants, assisting them in refining their shooting technique.
Conclusion
By the end of this module, participants will have gained a deeper understanding of marksmanship principles and honed their shooting skills through practical exercises. They will be equipped with techniques to improve accuracy, consistency, and control in their shooting endeavors. Additionally, participants will have reinforced their commitment to firearm safety and responsible firearm handling practices.
