Control target with black strip in the middle
For Rifle and Pistol | . |
| 1. Exercises for holding Examination of aiming-position relative to horizontal deviations ( Aiming-position means the relation between the weapon and the body of the shooter ). Corrections are made until the aiming position is so perfect that the black strip is always behind the front sight of your weapon, even if the eyes are closed. The eyes should be open only for examination and for correcting the position of your body if neccessary.
2. Shooting at the control target
|
Once you have learnt how to do this exercise, the control target can be turned so that the black strip is horizontal. Now try, in the same manner as described above, to eliminate vertical deviations.
| |
For Pistol Only | . |
| 1. The sight is to be held in the black strip, the eye of the shooter should learn to concentrate only upon the sighting, not upon the target.
2. Shooting at the control target
|
Control target with black strip in the lower third For Pistol | . |
| 1. Exercises for holding The horizontal strip should be in the sight line of the pistol. Examine whether the aiming position is swinging out of the strip upwards or downwards. If so, correct as long as the right level can be held. The eye stays in the sighting position.
2. Shooting at the control target This target is also very good for perfection of trigger let-off technique. Try to place the hits very close together, doing this you can see very easily, whether the muzzle raises neatly.

Control target with a black triangle For Pistol | . |
| 1. Exercises for holding The base-line of the triangle is exactly at the point on which the outer edge of the bull's-eye of a normal target would be. The length of the base-line and the height of the triangle is in accordance with the diameter of the bull's-eye. That means, that the aiming area is just below the triangle. With this training target first the sighting and then the aiming area will be checked. Due to the triangle design it is very quick and easy to see whether the sighting is held correctly, e.g. with incorrect sight alignment or cant of the weapon.
2. Shooting at the control target
|
Control target with a vertical 2/3 strip For Pistol | . |
| On this control target the black 2/3 strip ends exactly at the point where the black of the bull's-eye ends on a pistol target. This means that the aiming area is similar to the circular bull's-eye - under the lower end of the strip.
