Rifle

A stable rifle position rests on bone support and balance rather than muscle effort. Learn what to build, what to check and what not to change.

Natural point of aim is where your position points when you stop steering it. Learn the eyes-closed test and how to correct with your feet.

Good rifle trigger control is about releasing the shot without disturbing the position. Learn the timing, the common faults and how to test them.

The shot is fired in a natural respiratory pause, not while holding your breath. Learn the rhythm, the limits and how breathing shows on the target.

Vertical rifle groups usually point towards breathing, hold time, cheek pressure or position height. Learn how to separate the causes.

Sideways rifle groups often trace back to natural point of aim, balance, trigger-hand pressure or head position. Learn how to test each one.

With aperture sights the eye centres rings automatically. Learn the correct white ring, front ring choice and where to focus.

Every shooter has a window where the hold is steadiest. Learn how to find yours, how to time the shot inside it and when to abort.

Dry fire only helps when it has a purpose. Learn how to structure sessions, what to watch and how to record what you found.

Equipment should fit the position you already have. Learn the order to adjust stock, cheekpiece, butt plate and clothing — and what the rules allow.
