Marksmanship
FUNDAMENTALS OF MARKSMANSHIP
• Aiming
• Breath Control
• Hold Control
• Trigger Control
• Follow-Through
Refers to the precise alignment of the rifle sight with the target.
Aiming
Elements of Correct Aiming
Correct Sight Alignment
Correct Sight Picture
Placing the center tip to the front sight post in the exact center of the near sight aperture.
Correct Sight Alignment
It has the target, the front sight post and the near sight aligned. The sight picture includes two basic elements: sight element and placement of the aiming point.
Correct Sight Picture
Refers to proper control of breathing to keep the rifle steady as the rifle is gently squeezed.
Breath Control
Two (2) Types of Breath Control
- Breath control when zeroing or firing single target.
- Breath control, firing at timed or multiple targets.
There is a moment of respiratory pause while breathing, most of the air has been exhaled from the lungs and before inhaling. Breathing should stop after most of the air has been exhaled during the normal breathing cycle. The shot must be fired before the soldier feel any discomfort.
Breath control when zeroing or firing single target
This technique is employed during rapid fire (short-exposure targets). Using this technique, the soldier holds this breathe when he is about to squeeze the trigger.
Breath control, firing at timed or multiple targets
Body movement affects the shot.
HOLD CONTROL
If the trigger is not properly squeezed, the rifle is misaligned with the target at the movements of the firin
Trigger Control
In Pistol shooting: means to maintain aiming (perfect sight alignment and acceptable sight picture), breath control, hold control, and trigger control until the gun settles back into the aiming area after firing.
Follow-through
“Maintaining perfect sight alignment and acceptable sight picture.”- ________
“Stop breathing.” – __________
“Holding still.” – __________
“Moving only your trigger finger.” – _________

Follow-Through
It is necessary to find the most effective position which will allow you to aim at the target in a natural and consistent manner, and assume an identical position. Locating the most effective firing position is the first shooting skill that one must develop before firing live rounds.
FIRING POSITION
Types of Firing Position
A. Basic Position
• Supported Prone Position
• Prone Unsupported Positions
B. Advance Positions
•Alternate Prone Position
•Kneeling Supported Position
•Kneeling Unsupported Positionn
•Standing Position
•Modified Firing Position
What is RA 10591?
Known as Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Regulation Act, May 29, 2013
Used during fundamental training and during basic record firing. It offers stable platform for firing the rifle.
Basic Position
This position provides the most stable platforms for engaging targets. This is done by assuming a prone position while your rifle rest on a sand bag.
Supported Prone Position
This position offers another stable firing platform for engaging targets. Similar to the supported prone position but without the aid of sang bag.
Prone Unsupported Positions
Different firing positions used to adapt to different combat situations.
Advance Positions
This position is an alternative to both prone supported and unsupported firing positions, allowing the firer to cock his firing leg. This position relaxes the stomach muscles and allow the firer to breath naturally.
Alternate Position
Adopted once the firing skills have been mastered by the firer. Modified firing positions are encouraged to take advantage to available cover, to use anything that helps steady the rifle, or to make any changes that allows the firer to hit more combat targets.
Modified Firing Position
This position allows the firer to obtain the height necessary to better observe many target areas, taking advantage of available cover.
Kneeling Supported Position
This position assumed quickly, places firer high enough to see over small burst, and provides for a stable firing position.
Kneeling Unsupported Position
FIRING POSITIONS FOR A HANDGUN
1. Face the target at __________ angle, assuming the proper stance for one-hand shooting. The shooter can vary his/her angle to the target up to 90 degrees if this allows him/her better control.
- Face the target ________ for ________ position.
- ____________ so that you look at the taget with your eyes straight ahead.

- 45-degree
- Squarely/ two-handed
- Position your head
- Aligned
- Close your eyes
- Open your eyes
- One side
FIRING POSITION FOR A RIFLE
- Standing Position
- Kneeling Position
- Sitting Position
- Prone Position
Is used during assault to engage surrise target when no other position can be used. In an actual marksmanship firing, this position involves fundamental position. The legs are in normal paces, body is little forwarded, are hands are forwarded with a handguns.
Standing Position
The knees kneel in normal paces depedin on the comfortability of the firer. The student must apply the principle of “hard-soft contacts.” The elbow (hard) must fall on knees (soft) to make the shooter comfortable.
Kneeling Position
Is suitable for grounds that slope gently upwar and when there are obstacles that hinder good target acquisition. This included Cross legs position. The same principle applies in kneeling position
Sitting Position
Provides the most stable platform for engaging targets and presents a low silhouette and easily adapted with the use of cover and support. There are different positions of prone, depending on the comfortability of the shooter. Prone shooters may use available objects such as sacks containing fine sanfe back pack and othe objects.
