[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 3027015, member: 8873"] Not being a smart Alec but It means exactly what it sounds like, applying proper fundamentals. The last 4 1/2 years of my career (retired 4 months ago) I ran one of the two accredited Army Sniper Schools. I've train over 1,000 Snipers from four branches, 99% of who have never fired a precision weapon. One thing that I learned is that if those fundamentals aren't executed properly then you leave accuracy and precision on the table. You can get by with consistently doing something in bad form, but again, you're leaving potential on the table. I didn't even want the students to dry fire on their own until they proved they had it down with the instructors. In the past couple years I had 2 self proclaimed pro PRS shooters (I say that as I took them at their word) come through the course, and they were some of the worst students I had. They failed graded event 1 on more than one rifle qualification. They had some of those training scars they had to overcome. Now they would mop the floor with me at a competition, so I'm not totally knocking them. If you don't have someone to watch you, film yourself and see where you're at. [/QUOTE]
