When they were young, perhaps many people had such a dream in their hearts - holding a steel gun, shuttling through the mountains and forests and artillery fire, precise sniping, piercing through a hundred steps, and killing the enemy in one shot... becoming a skilled marksman who makes the enemy tremble with fear. Precision is the best business card for a skilled marksman. However, the ability to hit the mark with a hundred hits is not something that can be practiced in just one or two days. Engels once said, "Guns do not shoot on their own, they require a brave heart and strong hands to use them." The accuracy of marksmanship depends not only on the quality of the gun, but also on the user themselves. So, how to cultivate a "brave heart" and a pair of "strong hands"? Hard work and strict discipline, diligent and skillful practice, relentless pursuit of excellence, and persistent perseverance are all essential, but it is crucial to have strong psychological qualities as support. Shooting training is an important component of military training and a key link in improving individual shooting ability. Mastering some shooting training techniques can effectively improve shooting accuracy and reaction speed. So, what is shooting? Shooting refers to the process of accurately firing and hitting a predetermined target with firearms. Shooting is a competitive sport where firearms are aimed at a target to shoot a target. In the revolutionary war era, our army, despite relatively backward weapons and equipment, generally carried out basic technical and tactical training focusing on the five major techniques of assassination, shooting, ammunition dropping, blasting, and geotechnical operations, cultivating a large number of skilled gunners and skilled gunners. In situations where weapons and equipment are extremely outdated, soldiers can still win battles by diligently studying and practicing ordinary moves to become proficient, maximizing the performance of their weapons and equipment. At that time, shooting was the primary element in our military technical training. Due to limited ammunition, most soldiers do not receive many bullets. In order to accurately kill enemies, it is necessary to improve shooting efficiency and accuracy. In the history of our army, countless sharpshooters have emerged, such as Hu Xianhan, the "machine gun sharpshooter" who killed 8 enemy cavalry on the Long March of the Red Army, Song Lingchun, the sharpshooter of the Eighth Route Army who killed 23 Japanese soldiers and shot down one fighter plane, Wei Laiguo, who killed 110 enemy sharpshooters with 120 bullets, and heroic figures such as Zhang Taofang, the volunteer army sharpshooter who killed 214 enemy soldiers with 436 bullets. So, how can we improve the accuracy of shooting and become a skilled marksman? Firstly, theoretical learning is necessary. To shoot well, theoretical learning is essential. Ballistics, military geography, military meteorology, aerodynamics, and other related knowledge are essential for an excellent shooter to learn and master. On the shooting training field, instructors should carefully teach the soldiers theoretical knowledge and demonstrate their movements, making abstract and boring theories more vivid and vivid. Secondly, scientifically correct firearms. Up and down the aiming star, adjust the aiming holes left and right, adjust the leveling relationship of the aiming star holes, correct the aiming baseline, and achieve the goal of aligning the aiming point with the impact point. The six word mnemonic of "hitting, setting, seeking, measuring, calculating, and repairing" is the basic essentials of gun training and one of the essential skills for shooting training. Thirdly, diligently train according to gun posture. Kneeling, lying, standing, each position must master the correct movements, and all parts of the body must remain stable and coordinated, with the gun body remaining stable. An excellent sharpshooter can lie motionless in the grass for a whole day, which is different from the endurance of ordinary people. It is soaked in sweat bit by bit. Fourthly, do a good job of breathing control. Breath control is crucial for the accuracy of shooting. Deep breathing can help stabilize the body and improve shooting accuracy. When shooting, pay attention to shooting during exhalation, as the body is most stable during exhalation. By controlling breathing, one can reduce body movement and improve shooting accuracy. Fifth, quickly and accurately locate the target. Quickly and accurately aligning the aiming device with the target after it appears is a key point in shooting training. When training, it is important to adjust the sight quickly and accurately, so that the center point of the sight coincides with the target. Through repeated practice, the speed and accuracy of accurate positioning can be improved. Sixth, learn to adjust the shooting rhythm. By changing the rhythm of shooting, one can adapt to different shooting situations. For example, in short range shooting, fast and continuous shooting can be used, while in long range shooting, the rhythm of shooting needs to be slowly controlled. Seventh, strengthen live fire shooting training. "Unloading empty and replacing solid, opening and closing fixed", mastering the essentials of changing equipment, withdrawing bullets, etc., plays an important role in improving shooting skills. Only by adhering to practical standards and strict requirements on the training ground can one become a skilled marksman in the future battlefield. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to strengthening the cultivation of psychological qualities. An excellent marksman not only requires confidence, composure, courage, and tenacious fighting spirit, but also requires good psychological resilience and anti-interference ability. These excellent psychological qualities can be gradually improved through visual training, focus training, suggestion training, imagery training, thinking control training, anti-interference ability training and other psychological training methods. Psychological training can help officers and soldiers improve their concentration, self-confidence, and stress resistance, and a commonly used method is visual training. Officers and soldiers can imagine in their minds achieving excellent results in shooting training, feeling the joy and pride of success. Through repeated visual training, officers and soldiers can enhance their confidence and better cope with stress during training and actual combat. In addition, positive self dialogue is also an effective psychological training method. Officers and soldiers can provide positive self suggestion to themselves before training, encouraging them to remain calm and focused, and believe in their abilities and level. In addition, in order to improve their focus in shooting training, officers and soldiers can also improve their focus and reaction speed through methods such as Sudoku and memory training. "Grind an iron pestle into a needle, and the work will come naturally." For basic training like shooting, it is necessary to go through accumulated efforts and efforts over time to avoid any false information. Only by using enough time and putting in enough effort can we translate the outstanding performance in training into the future battlefield, achieving a hundred step breakthrough and one strike victory. In practical combat, in order to improve shooting accuracy, it is also necessary to quickly lock the target, appropriately pre press the trigger, and wait for the appropriate time to decisively fire. The poet said, "Kung Fu is beyond poetry.". Combat effectiveness depends not only on people but also on weapons, and more importantly, on the optimal combination of people and weapons. The highest realm of a sharpshooter is the integration of human and gun skills, and the forgetting of human and gun skills, transforming tangible marksmanship into intangible mental skills. Practice is war, war is victory. Only through rigorous training in daily shooting, can muscle memory be formed and become a conditioned reflex, enabling quick reactions and seizing opportunities on the battlefield. (Lai Xin She)
