CRFSC Firing Procedures and Techniques 2

Question 1

When shooting a semi-automatic pistol, what is the correct trigger control technique to minimize muzzle movement?

Accepted Answer

Apply smooth, steady rearward pressure on the trigger

Answer

Smooth, steady rearward pressure on the trigger prevents disturbing the sight alignment and reduces muzzle movement during the shot.

Question 2

What does 'follow-through' mean in the context of rifle shooting?

Accepted Answer

Maintaining sight picture and trigger position after the shot breaks

Answer

Follow-through means maintaining your sight picture, trigger squeeze, and position after the shot fires to avoid disrupting the bullet's path.

Question 3

Which breathing technique is recommended for precision rifle shooting?

Accepted Answer

Fire during the natural respiratory pause between breaths

Answer

Firing during the natural respiratory pause after a normal exhale allows the body to be most still and minimizes movement caused by breathing.

Question 4

What is the proper sight alignment for iron sights on a handgun?

Accepted Answer

Front sight sharp, rear sight blurry, target blurry

Answer

The human eye can only focus at one distance, so the front sight should be in sharp focus while the rear sight and target appear slightly blurry.

Question 5

When firing a double-action revolver, how does the trigger pull differ from single-action mode?

Accepted Answer

Double-action requires more trigger pressure as it cocks and releases the hammer

Answer

In double-action mode, the trigger both cocks the hammer and releases it, requiring a longer, heavier pull compared to single-action where the hammer is pre-cocked.
