It can some times be difficult to shoot a gun accurately. However, if you know to do it properly, you should not have any problems hitting the target.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • A rifle or shot gun.
  1. Step 1

    Get a gun. One that doesn't have too much of a recoil, if this is your first time shooting a gun.

  2. Step 2

    Lay down on the ground on your stomach. Lift your head and shoulders off the ground.

  3. Step 3

    If you are Right handed, put the butt of the gun into your Right shoulder and grab the stock with your right hand.

  4. Step 4

    Put your Left hand on the hand guard undet the barrel.

  5. Step 5

    If you are Left handed, put your the butt of the rifle into your Left shoulder and use your Left hand to pull the trigger.

  6. Step 6

    Plant your elbows firmly on the ground.

  7. Step 7

    Put just the tip of your Index finger on the trigger. No more than just the tip of your finger.

  8. Step 8

    Make sure you have a clear sight picture. Both the front and rear sights are lined up with the target.

  9. Step 9

    Control your breathing. In the middle of your breathing cycle, when your lungs are half full of air, stop breathing and hold your breath.

  10. Step 10

    Gently and slowly squeeze the trigger with just the tip of your finger.
