  1. NRA Probationary Course Unit P3 Principles of Marksmanship

  2. Principles of Marksmanship • Position & hold must be firm enough to support the rifle (sling) • Natural alignment • Correct aim picture • Shot release & follow through

  3. Position & hold must be firm enough to support the rifle (sling) • The left arm should be as close under the rifle as possible • The left wrist must not be too close to the ground (Bible) • The sling (and jacket) must be tight enough • The left hand should only support and not grip • The rifle should be locked in without right hand grip

  4. Sling Positioning

  5. Natural alignment Basic Starting Position • Rifle pointed at target • Body and left leg approx 15o to rifle • Right leg in line with rifle (straight or bent) • Test and adjust by moving: • Right leg • Body to or away from rifle

  6. The Aiming Mark The Foresight Aperture The Rearsight Aperture The Eye For A Correct Aim Picture… …Four Things Must Be Correctly Aligned

  7. Correct Aim Picture Aiming is divided into three parts: • Getting the sights perfectly upright • Aligning the sights • Precise alignment of the eye, rear sight, foresight and target. • Completing the sight picture • Maintaining perfect alignment while bringing the foresight on to the aiming mark.

At the end of the natural breathing cycle extend the “breathed out” phase by up to six seconds Squeeze the trigger and hold the pressure until the rifle stops “bouncing about” The sights should return to, more or less, the aiming mark
