What is a good marksmanship practice?

  1. Firing at maximum range

  2. Taking quick shots

  3. Practicing breath control

  4. Shooting with one eye closed

The correct answer is: Practicing breath control

Practicing breath control is a good marksmanship practice because it helps stabilize your body and control your movements while shooting. By controlling your breathing, you can reduce the movement of your chest and arms, leading to better accuracy and precision in your shots. This practice is essential for maintaining a steady aim and improving your shooting skills. Firing at maximum range may not always be the best practice as it can vary based on different factors such as your experience level and firearm capabilities. Taking quick shots can lead to accuracy issues and may not give you enough time to properly aim and assess the target. Shooting with one eye closed can limit your depth perception and reduce your field of view, affecting your ability to accurately hit the target.
