RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP
Aim
Accurate aim with rifles is all about using the sight or scope correctly. Use your dominant eye, get some practice and remember to keep some space between your eye and the scope when firing to avoid a scope-shame-shiner.
Grip
Your grip should be firm but not too tight. You’ll want to allow some give for the force of the rifle’s recoil. Don’t fight it—allow your body to absorb the energy.
