Sitting Firing Position!

Good body position is such an extremely important Shooting Fundamental. The slightest movement of the weapon barrel will move the strike of the bullet exponentially as distance to the target increases. It is super critical that the chosen firing position be as solid/reinforced as conditions permit and yet be comfortable.

One of the biggest mistakes that some shooters make is to start off with the biggest/bad(est);  most powerful-hard kicking rifle available and all done without hearing protection (got to maintain that image). However, after zeroing and firing an additional box for practice, the average person would be so flinching prone – it would be impossible for them to fire any weapon without involuntary movement of the barrel.

Supportive accuracy products are important; but, if your goal is to be an outstanding shooter, you must establish the conditions that will allow you to:

  • Relax!
  • Breathe normally (in/out steady breaths);
  • Clear your mind (only think of task at hand);
  • Control yourself (anxiety);
  • ENJOY IT!
