A rifle is a small arms that, when firing, must be held with both hands and additionally rest against the shoulder. Learning to shoot from it is not difficult. The main thing is to have a good eye and perseverance.
Instructions
Step 1
First, decide for yourself why you want to master this weapon. For protection, a rifle is unlikely to be suitable, but for meeting hunting needs it will be very useful. It is also used in various shooting competitions.
Step 2
Remember that you cannot point a weapon at a person, because by default the rifle is always loaded. Grasp the barrel with one hand, bring the other hand to the trigger. Next, decide on the position from which you will fire the shot. In order to learn how to shoot, you need to choose a pose in which you feel the rifle best.
Step 3
Stand up to full height, legs slightly apart, the rifle butt should rest on the shoulder. Tilt your body back, and your left thumb should rest against the trigger guard, which is located underneath. Put your index finger directly on the trigger. To get started, practice shooting with blank cartridges, or just try to stand with a rifle in your hands.
Step 4
The lying and sitting positions also mean that the stock rest is in contact with the shoulder, and the muzzle is at eye level. It remains to correctly aim. All rifles have a sighting system. On modern devices, it is most often optical. Feel like you are aiming exactly where you want to go. Remove the rifle from the safety catch, if any. Hold your breath and release a shot as you exhale.
Step 5
Examine the target, draw conclusions about where to deflect the rifle barrel on the next shot, in order to be more accurate. Remember that any weapon needs to be tuned and tested in action. Do not be discouraged if something does not work out for you: everything comes with experience and through a huge amount of training.
