Shooting Fundamentals
This is the proper alignment of the front and rear sight.
Sight Alignment
This is the eye your brain prefers for precise aiming.
Dominant eye
This position is considered the steadiest of all shooting positions.
Prone
Act it out- Act it out for 10 extra point.
Hit the target with the nerf gun anywhere get 25 points, hit a bull's-eye get 50 points.
The muzzle should always point in this direction.
Safe direction
A hunter jerks the trigger quickly to “make it fire.” This is an example of this.
Poor trigger control
This type of trigger pull prevents jerking the firearm.
Smooth trigger squeeze
This simple hand triangle test helps determine this shooting trait.
Eye dominance
In this position, elbows are often braced against knees for stability.
Sitting position
Act it out- Act it out for 10 extra point.
Hit the target with the nerf gun anywhere get 25 points, hit a bull's-eye get 50 points.
If a firearm does not fire when the trigger is pulled, it is called this.
Misfire
A shooter controls breathing and slowly squeezes the trigger. This demonstrates this.
Proper shooting technique
This fundamental requires holding your position after the shot.
Follow-through
This sight must be clear and sharp, while the target appears slightly blurry.
Front sight
This position is commonly used when vegetation blocks lower positions.
Standing
Act it out- Act it out for 10 extra point.
Hit the target with the nerf gun anywhere get 25 points, hit a bull's-eye get 50 points.
A delayed firing after pulling the trigger is known as this.
Hangfire
A hunter swings around with a firearm after shooting. This violates this safety rule.
Keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction
his breathing technique improves accuracy by reducing body movement.
Controlled breathing (exhaling and pausing before the shot)
This term describes placing aligned sights on the intended target.
Sight picture
This position involves one knee on the ground and offers moderate stability.
Kneeling
Act it out- Act it out for 10 extra point.
Hit the target with the nerf gun anywhere get 25 points, hit a bull's-eye get 50 points.
After a misfire, you should wait this long before opening the action.
30 to 60 seconds
A hunter rushes the shot due to excitement and misses. They likely ignored this fundamental.
Follow-through (or trigger control/breath control)
Flinching usually happens because of this anticipation before the shot.
Anticipating recoil (or anticipating the shot)
A right-handed shooter who is left-eye dominant may need to do this to improve accuracy.
Learn to shoot left-handed (or adjust to use the dominant eye)
This factor determines which shooting position is safest and most effective in the field.
Surrounding terrain and visibility (or safe backstop awareness)
This must always be clearly identified before pulling the trigger.
The target and what is beyond it
A hunter fires without checking what lies behind the target. This violates this key rule
Being sure of your target and beyond
