Primary Marksmanship Instruction
 | Drill sergeants from the 84th Training Division conduct marksmanship instruction forthe unit. |
 | "Next to please inserting Tab C in slot D while all same time holding Part X ....Where does this thing go again? |
 | Sighting in. The drill sergeant is adjusting a miniature target until the marksmanagrees it's properly sighted. |
 | Aiming by committee. The instructor is viewing through the sights using a smallbeam-splitter prism to verify that the marksman has an accurate sight picture. |
 | An oldie but goodie. If SPC Malueg can pull the trigger without causing the washer tofall, she's doing it right. |
 | How consistent is your sighting? This test shows. The marksmen sight through theweapons and guide assistants in placing a target. |
 | The assistants move the targets. When the marksmen say they have an accurate sight, the assistants mark the target position. Ideally, all target positions should fallwithin a one-centimeter circle. |
