Marksmanship Fundamentals
• The four fundamentals are:
• Steady position• Aim• Breath control• Trigger squeeze
![Page 6: Task, Conditions and Standards - - · PPT file · Web view · 2009-01-23Task, Conditions and Standards TASK- Zero an M16A2 Rifle CONDITIONS- On a 25-meter range, given an M16A2 rifle,](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070608/5ab795f07f8b9ab62f8b8882/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Steady Position• A shooter must assume a comfortable, steady position in order to hit
targets consistently.• The elements of a steady position include: Non-firing hand grip, rifle
butt position, firing hand grip, firing elbow placement, non-firing elbow placement, stock weld, support, muscle relaxation, and natural point of aim.

Aiming• Aiming involves correct site alignment, correct sight
picture, and focusing on the front sight.• Once a shooter learns to aim correctly, he must do the
same procedure every shot.• Accuracy is consistency; consistency is accuracy.

Breath Control
• During zeroing or slow fire on single targets, a shooter simply holds his breath momentarily and shoots.
• The shot must be fired before any discomfort results or the lay of the rifle will be disturbed.

Trigger Control
• All of the fundamentals are important but, trigger control is the most critical!!!
• It is also the fundamental that shooters perform incorrectly most often.

25 Meter Zero
• The shooter fires two separate, three-round shot groups and numbers them.
• Based on the shot groups and info provided on the target, the shooter computes the changes needed.

25 Meter Zero
• Here the shooter needs to move the strike of his rounds down 2 clicks and to the left 10 clicks.
• After the sight adjustment, 2 more 3-round groups are fired to confirm they are hitting center mass.

Zeroed
• By applying the four fundamentals and using shot group analysis, a shooter should have no problem achieving a good zero and moving on to becoming qualified with his rifle.
