PRINCIPLES OF MARKSMANSHIP
1. Make use of a comfortable stance.

2. Establish a steady position.
3. Breath control
4. Trigger control
5. Proper grip
6.Firing position
Requirements of a stance
a) Equilibrium and stability
b) Head position
c) Position of the feet
d) Legs
e) Hips
f) Non-shooting arm
g) Shooting arm
h) Head and shoulders
i) Body weight

3. Breath control
4. Trigger control
5. Proper grip

The Elements of Steady Position
a) Non-firing hand grip
b) Rifle-butt position
c) Firing hand grip
d) Firing elbow placement
e) Non-firing elbow
f) Stock weld
GENERAL STANCES
a) Weaver/Boxer/Aggressive stance.
1. 1ST Component is a two-handed technique in which the dominant hand holds
the pistol or revolver while the support hand wraps around the dominant hand.
2. 2nd Component is the positioning of the feet in a walking stance, with the off-
side foot ahead of the strong-side foot.
b) Isosceles stance.
3. Proper placement of aiming point:
commonly used aiming points
1. Six-o’clock hold 2. twelve-o’clock hold 3. center hold
 Sight alignment
 Sight picture
Errors in sight alignment : The improper position of the front sight post is
referred to as the:
 angular shift error
 parallel shift error
Weaver/Boxer/
Aggressive
stance.
Isosceles stance.

3.Breath control
4. Trigger control
5. Proper grip
6.Firing position
3. Breath Control
Complete respiratory cycle
4-5 seconds (inhaling and exhaling)

1-2 seconds is a natural respiratory
pause
This pause can be extended up to
8-10 seconds without any special labor and
unpleasant sensations.

3. Breath control
4.Trigger control
5. Proper grip
6. Firing position
4. Trigger Control
Guidelines for proper trigger control
a. The trigger finger’s location is where it falls

naturally on the trigger.
b. The slack or free play in the trigger is taken up
first.
c. Apply pressure with the trigger finger only.
d. Trigger finger must be in an arch position to
avoid contact with the side of the gun.
4. Trigger Control
Errors in trigger control
a. Flinching- is the muscular tension or

reaction in anticipation of the recoil.
It includes the moving of the head,
closing the eyes and moving of the
shoulder to the rear or their
combination.
b. Jerking- is an attempt to make pistols fire

at a certain instance by rapidly applying
pressure on the trigger.
c. Follow through- is the continued physical
application of the fundamentals after each
round has been fired. The shooter must not
shift his/her head or bring down the pistol for
a few seconds.
d. Calling the shots- is the prediction of

the shots where the hits are on target.
This means “ do what you are told”
specially during firing.

3. Breath control
4. Trigger control
5.Proper grip
6. Firing position
5. Proper grip
Provides the shoulder with maximum control of the
weapon. The most important feature of the grip is
uniformity. To maintain a natural sight alignment ,
the shooter must hold the weapon firmly. He must be
able to apply positive straight to the rear pressure on
the trigger that will not disturb the sight alignment
when the hammer falls.
Methods of proper grip for handguns/rifles
a. Pick up the pistol/ revolver with the non- shooting arm
by the barrel end of the slide and keep muscle down.
Rifle should be picked up through the handle by the
non-shooting arm.
b. Spread the index finger and the thumb of the shooting
hand apart to form a V with the thumb held slightly
lower than the index finger. Push the web or V of the
shooting directly under the grip safety. Do not roll
them.
c. Wrap the 3 lower fingers around the gun and should exert equal
pressure, straight to the bottom of the V. The heel of the
shooting arm should be well up on the main spring housing.
d. The thumb should exert very little pressure to tighten the
muscles. Controlling the thumb will cause some tightening of
the muscles.
e. Placement of the trigger finger should be where it falls naturally
on the trigger. This is usually at the tip and first joint of the
trigger finger. Regardless of hand size and finger length, the
shooter should always apply pressure straight to the rear.
f. The correct on the grip is when the

shooter can hold without tremble or relax.

3. Breath control
4. Trigger control
5. Proper grip
6. Firing position
6. Firing Position
– this position should be properly
selected and felt according to the
comfortability of the shooter.
Firing Positions for a Rifle
a. Standing position
b. Kneeling position-
c. Sitting position
d. Prone position -
Firing positions for a Handgun
The PSRBC Module II on Police Tactical Responses
(2013), provides the following using a handgun.
1. Face the target at 45-degree 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.
2. Face the target squarely for two

hand position.
3. Position your head so that you look

at the target with your straight eyes
ahead.
4. Raise your shooting arm and align it with your

target.
5. Close your eyes, lower and raise your arm and
relax.
6. Open your eyes and check position. If the
sights are aligned with the target, you have a
good position.
7. If your arms settle to one side of

the target, compensate by moving
the feet right or left if necessary. If
your arms settle high or low,
compensate by closing or opening
the distance between your feet.
