LEADS WITH THE CORRECT MODEL, no guess-then-reveal. Assumes primer: firearms-safety-four-rules.
- Muzzle & Trigger-Finger Discipline Muzzle control as a constant orientation problem and keeping the finger off the trigger and indexed until the sights are on target and you have decided to fire. LEADS WITH THE CORRECT MODEL. Assumes primer: firearms-safety-four-rules.
- Range Commands & Firing-Line Etiquette Standard range commands (load, commence, cease fire, the line is safe), how a relay works, who controls the line, and acting correctly on a cease-fire. LEADS WITH THE CORRECT MODEL.
