Prone Unsupported Position

The first step in the 9 key point checklist involves proper body alignment and stabilization.
The shoulder should be positioned with the butt securely held using a relaxed grip, allowing for better control and comfort.
Checking for alignment involves looking along the line of the barrel to ensure a clear sight picture to the target, crucial for accurate aim.

Recoil Management

To reduce recoil's impact, stabilize the rifle firmly against the shoulder and prevent the butt from slipping during firing.
The left hand should be positioned to assist in stabilization without causing strain, ensuring a relaxed hold.

Body Positioning

The left elbow must remain lower than the weapon to enhance support and reduce tension.
The right hand should grip the pistol grip firmly but not excessively, ensuring control while allowing for a natural wrist position.

Maintaining Proper Alignment

Keeping the butt in the correct position in the shoulder requires a consistent and mindful grip to prevent movement during recoil.
The cheek should rest on the stock to maintain correct eye relief for optimal vision down the sights.

Importance of Relaxation and Breathing

Relaxation plays a vital role in maintaining stability and accuracy in the firing position, mitigating unnecessary tension.
Breathing techniques should be covered comprehensively, ideally before engaging the firearm, to enhance focus and control.

Firing Position Development

Building up the firing position emphasizes developing a stable and relaxed posture for consistent performance.
The right elbow should provide additional support, aiding in overall weapon stability and control.

Left Hand Positioning

The left hand’s position should be sustained without strain, enabling ease of movement and adjustment as necessary for accuracy and comfort.
