Among different shooting positions, standing is the most unstable position, because it has a small support area and the center of gravity is high. In order to make a stable position, we need to have an exceptional sense of balance and muscles control.

Aiming process includes: aiming sharpness, aiming time and target approach. For aiming you should put your head on the cheekpiece in the manner that eye positions against the rear sight and be able to see the target through the sights symmetric, whilst head and neck are relaxed.

Triggering is the critical moment of shooting performance. What is important about triggering is: trigger timing and trigger cleanness. When we pull the trigger, the only part of the body which moves is the trigger finger, without disturbing the rifle and holding.

During shooting, slow stomach breathing is required to reduce movement of shoulders and chest, and make heart beat slower. It’s been recommended to have few deep and slow breaths during self- preparation period, before putting your cheek on the cheek-piece; and then two or three shallower breaths during aiming process.

Routine is the usual order in which we do the things. When we are in a shooting competition or a training session, we do somethings in the usual order which is our “Shot Routine”. Every shooter’s routine should be well constructed and on conscious basis.

Holding, aiming and triggering are the basis of shooting performance. So, they need to be practiced at every training session. Good holding ability needs fulfilling some kinds of Hold exercises at each training session, some balance exercises should also be done occasionally.

Hold is the ability of control the muscles to keep them still, which mostly depends on mental awareness. In order to improve this ability, shooters can do some special endurance training. These kinds of exercises create some adaptation and changes in human body, which produce some capacities, and improve the resistance to fatigue.
