Breathing Tips:

1. If the target is in the centre of the foresight when the lungs are either full or empty the body position should be moved forward of backward so that the target is in the centre of the foresight midway between full and empty lungs.

2. Always fire the shot after breathing all the way in and half way out. If the breath is held whilst breathing in the body will have less oxygen in the blood and the duration the shooter is able to hold their breath will be greatly reduced. Always hold halfway through the outward breath.
