depends on the correct body position.

- bullet. The front and rear sights must be aligned vertically and horizontally.
- After this is done you have the proper "sight picture." Without a proper sight
- picture you cannot zero the weapon.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Sight corrections are made after three rounds have been fired. The center hit
- of this "shot group" should also be the center of the target. If corrections are
- necessary, adjust the front sight. When adjusting, move it towards the shot group.
- If the rear sight is adjustable, move it away from the shot group. Each type of
- sight has its own characteristics. You must !:now how your sight operates. You
- must memorize the zero setting for your weapon. If you don't observe this rule,
- you will have to zero it after each cleaning.</p></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Familiarization Firing:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="A"><li class="listitem"><p>While practice-firing the weapon, you will find out the following:</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol class="orderedlist" type="I"><li class="listitem"><p>What it can and cannot do.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>How it reacts and sounds during firing.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>How it performs at different ranges.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>What body positions are the best and the most efficient.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Which of your (the firer's) mistakes cause misses.</p></li></ol></div></li><li class="listitem"><p>Organize two-man teams.
