Study Notes
Basic Factors of Marksmanship
- Gripping, stance, sight alignment, trigger factor, and follow-through are the basic factors of marksmanship
Gripping
- A proper grip is essential for quick fire, allowing the weapon to become an extension of the hand and arm
- Grip the weapon firmly with the web between the thumb and second finger as the base, and wrap the other four fingers around the sides
- Gripping pressure should be 30-70% (push and pull)
Types of Grips
- One-hand grip: hold the weapon in the non-firing hand, form a V with the thumb and forefinger, and place the weapon in the V with the front and rear sights in line with the firing arm
- Two-hand grip: place the non-firing hand under the firing hand, wrapping the non-firing fingers around the firing hand
- Fist grip: grip the firing hand as with the one-hand grip, and place the non-firing hand over the firing hand
- Palm-supported grip: place the non-firing hand under the firing hand, wrapping the non-firing fingers around the back of the firing hand
- Weaver grip: similar to the fist grip, with the non-firing thumb over the middle finger of the firing hand
Stance
- The center of gravity must be between two equal weights as support
- Types of stance: normal, boxing, natural, isosceles, show, and weaver stance
Sight Alignment
- Proper relationship between front sight post and rear sight post
- Sight alignment is crucial in handgun shooting due to the shorter distance between sights
- Types of sight alignment: 0 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, 9 o'clock, and 12 o'clock
Trigger Factor
- Use the first pad of the trigger finger to squeeze the trigger
Follow-Through
- Continuous squeezing of the trigger until the last round
