Inspired by the "how to master the Glock trigger" I start another thread.
Don't really know where to put it, so I just put it in here, but the same idea's apply to Pistols, rifles, SMG's and so on.
First I start with the basics of shooting.
The triangle of shooting.

SHOOT
5 basics of shooting
Hold
-->Firm (hold till shaking, then release a little...) without tension
Stance
--> Stable (feet - knees - hips - shoulders parallel)
--> Comfortable
Aiming
--> Front sight sharp
Breathing
-->(Neglect for standing and kneeling)
--> Interrupted in case of pressure on the chest
Trigger (control)
--> (take up the) slack
--> Press and follow-thru
--> keep trigger pressed for a second after the shot
Shooting in 7 steps
1. Identification (hostile)
2. Elevation
3. Aim
4. Finger on trigger
5. Prrrress
6. Analyse (down to contact position / to free field of view)
7. Scanning (to enlarge the field of view)
Toolbox for the coach.
HOLD
-->let the student assume shooting position (without finger on the trigger). Control how he holds the weapon. Try to move the weapon vertical or horizontal with one hand. Make sure the thumbs are correctly placed. As much meat on the metal as possible.
To make it easier for the student you can also let him hold the pistol so tight, that his hands start shaking. Then let him ease the grip a little until the shaking is gone. Then the grip is strong enough.
STANCE
-->written above: feet - knees - hips - shoulders parallel. To control it:
Close eyes. Assume firing position, open eyes. Frontsight should be right in the middle of the target. Height doesn't matter. If it's too much off correct accordingly by moving the feet to the right or to the left.
BREATHING
--> when shooting standing or kneeling, this can be ignored.
AIMING
-->concentrate on the frontsight only. I'll write something about this later on.
TRIGGER
-->to check the student we do an exercise called "the mysterious weapon".
Student turns over his pistol to you, he takes a few steps back und turns around. The goal is, that he doesn't know if the pistol is loaded or not. You then let him shoot a round. Check if he's flinching by looking at the frontsight from the side. Repeat the exercise about 5 times.
EVERYTHING
-->to check the combination of everything we do the "Ventilator"-exercise.
Let him assume firing position, the frontsight must always remain inside of the target. He then moves the pistol in circles and fires off 5-10 rds. Distance should be in between 5 and 7m. All rounds must be on the target.
