PAUSE
when firing at a single target:
NOTE: NATURAL POINT OF AIM (NPA) - The most relaxed position for holding a pistol where the sight picture will consistently go back to the aiming point in a natural manner.
4. BREATH CONTROL – To attain accuracy, the firer must learn to hold his breath properly at any time during the breathing cycle.

pressure on the trigger straight to the rear, without disturbing the sight alignment until the weapon fires.

FOLLOW THROUGH – is the continues application of all marksmanship fundamentals BEFORE,
DURING and AFTER firing a live round.
CALLING THE SHOT - is the ability of the shooter to determine the Point of Impact (POI) of the projectile with respect to his Point of Aim (POA).
This can only be achieved by determining the FINAL FOCUS POINT (exact location of the sight picture at the instant the weapon fires)
ESTABLISHING A SYSTEM OF FIRING ONE (1) ROUND 1. Get your GRIP 2. Establish your STANCE 3. Hold your BREATH properly 4. Get your Sight Picture / AIM 5. PRESS your trigger straight to the rear 6. FOLLOW THROUGH and CALL YOUR SHOT
“A shooter using One (kind) pistol, same Ammo, One Aiming Point and One SYSTEM should produce One Hole (Touching Shot-Group)..!”
