The point is to maintain your focus on the front sight, the WHOLE time. It's normal for the target and rear sight to blur out of focus, but untrained shooters often change their point of focus to the target when they fire. It's a natural instinct to want to see what you're shooting at, but you have to train yourself not to lose focus on the front sight.
Real life lesson, as a squad leader my job is to not to engage enemies myself but to see the "big picture" and direct my squad's fire. It's a hard habit to break, directing fire to my fire team leaders instead of just shooting myself. Not something you're trained to do. USMC 3/5 88-92
It is many years since I left the military so many things have obviously changed, not just in the USA but here in the United Kingdom also. I served for 24 years and I was never a good shot, just good enough to pass the annual weapons handling and skills tests, by comparison my son was an excellent shot, and, although he served after I retired, couldn’t understand why, given the fact that we always used a weapon fitted with a 4x optical sight, I couldn’t hit a cows arse with a banjo. Perhaps if I was,like him, on the front line, I would have paid more attention to the instructors advice and tried harder to employ the basic fundamentals of marksmanship. Oh well all water under the bridge now, I never liked guns anyway, I saw them as an evil necessity and not part of the real reason or objective of my position, don’t get me wrong, I am not anti gun, nor would I have ever even have contemplated refusing to do my duty if it was necessary, but thankfully for me, not my son, I was never in that position. The proudest pictures I have of my son are of him at his passing out parade, and of him in Afghanistan, all suited and booted, that might sound a bit crazy, but I was proud of him for serving our country, and more importantly supporting his comrades in arms from around the world and even more importantly his friends and colleagues. Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative film. 👍
I would never understand what "serving the country" means when the enemy is neither incapable nor interested in invading one's country, plus they are at 20,000 km around the world. Could you explain it to this utter ignorant?

Breath control is no longer expressed in training. Now it’s referred to as natural respiratory pause. Here’s why, if a shooter is not made to think about breathing he will naturally shoot during his natural respiratory pause. On the other hand if the shooter is told to watch his breathing he will and thus he will not be focused on what’s most important: consistent sight alignment and smooth trigger control.
Holy shit if I was ever taught by this video or this narrator I would most definitely be able to take a nap. I could only make myself watch 1/2 of this video.
It could be interesting to compare this video to similar ones in use in olther armies (british Army, Bundeswehr, Israeli Defence Force, Armée de Terre...) in order to see if there are differences
Different rifles have different sights and require different sight pictures and alignment so different militaries will train troops in different ways. If they are using the M16, the training would be the same.
@Ga5524 I agree 100%, but the new camouflage utility's offer better protection & look more comfortable. The old tropical uniform was sharp. the khaki's, when starched looked good too. The old wool overcoats were much better looking than the synthetic blended one's that are now issued.
Re pops1085. The reality is you have to 'flick' focus, from tgt to front sight. The eye does this in a very short amount of time. The issue starts at initial trg or zeroing, where soldiers are asked to aim at a specific mark on a tgt up to 100m away. As a result, they are drawn to focus on the aiming mark, and forget about correct sight alignment and aiming. The aiming mark is relevant to have a datum point, but coaches mustn't forget the basics!
It's been about 20 years for me but it looks like the Marines in this video have way too much finger on the trigger. Maybe I'm over analyzing the video.
Instruction here on trigger finger placement is correct. How do I know: I am a Military Rifle Instructor assisting the USAMU deliver SDM, TTT, and SAFS Training. Also I am US Distinguished Rifleman. At any rate the idea is a high firm handshake like grip on the pistol grip letting the trigger finger fall upon the trigger where it naturally falls. Then SMOOTH trigger pull so as not to disturb aim. Get this and consistent sight alignment for great results.
The main concern I've always had when seeing someone chicken wing with their rifle was wether or not their elbow was gonna get hit if they were ever in a home defense situation. That's why I shoot Thumb over bore.
The updated version would be "First, establish one of the stable shooting positions.....second....let the enemy know your pronouns and the number of genders you identify with.
It’s now 2023 and what’s important to good shooting has not changed. In fact what’s important to good shooting has been known since the early 1920’s. Military Marksmanship Manuals from that period along with good scores by many in that time shooting in US Service Rifle Competition proves it.
why would my comrades think if shooting me , dont shoot me with a stare , im there on the depot . my survival .. my gear that makes me warm , and noone as close as the heat of my ciggerrete , like nothing else matters . the bullets on target no new hand tricks or eye blinks. rah , dont tread the bayonet
@@Kriegerdammerungeye relief changes with the position. Prone shooting the eye will be closest to rear sight and in standing position the eye will be furthest from the rear sight. There is no right or wrong however the closer the eye is to rear sight the brighter the sight picture will be which inspires recognition for a consistent sight picture.
what pogue made this video? check it out,, breath control on the range is deep breath in, half way out and you hold it there...If you have your sight alignment and sight picture the whole time, you be in the black every time...The trigger pull is a slow steady squeeze to the rear and should be a surprise when the round pops...The dude firing standing up didnt have his elbow of his non trigger arm tucked in to his body which is huge in that position in addition to aiming above the target and

Make that at least 2,... and the the gunny had it wrong; the most dangerous weapon in the world is a Navy SEAL on a mission... no matter the weapon(s)...
Ya know.....its not a bad introduction video to shooting. Notice they had to show a chick Marine just to be Politically Correct. :) I was a shooting instructor and range coach Canadian Infantry late 70's. Women won a court case to be permitted in the Combatt Arms.....Headaches and Problems from day one. And every guy was sucking up to them to try to get laid (lol)
The forgot the part where, after you pull the trigger, you experience the horrible mental anguish because you just killed another human being. Then the procedure is to drink to excess, lose your job, and so on...

You are correct. I was a squad leader, then platoon sgt. and eventually a rifle instructor with the 7th. Infantry at Fort Ord, California 1970.
Get some!
Start by snapping in for hrs and hrs and hrs....😉

I love the music in this. Wish it wasn't "ducked" or mixed at a louder level. I wonder if the master copy sounds like this
Holy shit if I was ever taught by this video or this narrator I would most definitely be able to take a nap. I could only make myself watch 1/2 of this video.
@socalisurfer nothing that can't be learned by sitting in front of those snapping in barrels, and a dedicated PMI.
Rifle pistol shotgun. It doesn't fucking matter. Shooting is shooting and fundamentals are fundamentals
Outstanding video!
I wonder what this video would look like when updated for an ACOG?
This is really great info.

Excellent footage find! Thank you.
OOH-RAH!
Is the full video available anywhere? I remember watching it as a boot.
@cygil1 training helps, but ya your right, hence when in general it takes 30,000 round just to kill one enemy during the last 40 years
@Ga5524 I agree 100%, but the new camouflage utility's offer better protection & look more comfortable. The old tropical uniform was sharp. the khaki's, when starched looked good too. The old wool overcoats were much better looking than the synthetic blended one's that are now issued.
I wore both the woodlands and marpat. They feel the same.
Is that msgt Julia Watson? There is another video of her shooting at camp Perry.
Yes, but a SSGT at the time.
I made love with her

@zela9999 I hear ya! The khaki uniforms are necessary for desert operations.
I couldn't understand anything the narrator is saying. I thought I was having a stroke.
exactly, first identify the target then focus on aligning the sights, when you cant see the target is the moment to shoot. Am i correct?

you are
Vice not fulcrum. The fundamental is control not precision. Smooth is fast.
Yeah they are using too much. It should only be the pad of the finger tip
Trigger finger placement is entirely incorrect in this video. Not in the crease, and not on the tip. It's not "wherever you feel is natrual".

What is the purpose of holding the trigger side elbow high?
The main concern I've always had when seeing someone chicken wing with their rifle was wether or not their elbow was gonna get hit if they were ever in a home defense situation. That's why I shoot Thumb over bore.
It creates a pocket in your shoulder making you more consistent in your bone support.
