CRFSC Firing Procedures and Techniques 4

Question 1

What is the primary benefit of using a two-handed grip when firing a handgun?

Accepted Answer

It provides greater stability and recoil control for improved accuracy

Answer

A two-handed grip significantly increases stability, manages recoil more effectively, and allows for faster target reacquisition after each shot.

Question 2

What is 'trigger reset' and why is it important for accurate shooting?

Accepted Answer

Releasing the trigger only far enough forward to reset the sear for the next shot

Answer

Trigger reset means releasing the trigger only to the point where the sear resets, minimizing unnecessary movement and allowing for faster, more accurate follow-up shots.

Question 3

When shooting at an outdoor range on a windy day, how does crosswind affect bullet trajectory?

Accepted Answer

Crosswind pushes the bullet in the direction the wind is blowing

Answer

A crosswind pushes the bullet downrange in the direction the wind is blowing, requiring the shooter to adjust aim into the wind to compensate.

Question 4

What is the correct procedure before firing any firearm at a range for the first time during a session?

Accepted Answer

Visually and physically inspect the bore for obstructions

Answer

Before firing, always visually and physically inspect the bore to ensure it is clear of any obstructions that could cause a dangerous pressure buildup.

Question 5

How does shooting uphill or downhill affect bullet trajectory compared to level shooting?

Accepted Answer

Both uphill and downhill shots tend to hit higher than the point of aim

Answer

Both uphill and downhill angled shots result in bullets hitting higher than expected because gravity acts on only the horizontal component of the trajectory.
