Re: Coaching Corner
1. Stance is complex with body position to target(natural point of aim); head position(up right not tilted to side or up/down)
5. Follow thru

Re: Coaching Corner
The two "basics" are to align the sights with the target and the shooter's eye; to make the gun fire without disturbing the prior alignment. All else is technique.
Re: Coaching Corner
You guys forgot breathing...
Re: Coaching Corner
Alignment, alignment.
Keep pulling trigger, keep pulling.
Let it flow, let it flow.

Mindset, more of a Advanced element than a basic.
So we now have 5 of the 6 basic elements...
1/ Stance
2/ Sight Picture
3/ Trigger Control
4/ Follow Through
5/ Breathing
6/...
Re: Coaching Corner
Yeah youre right, I try to teach both and sometimes I get it mixed up.
I go by 9 basics:
Warm up
Posture/stance
Grip
Breathing
Lift
Aim
Trigger control
Follow through
Routine for loading next shot (air pistol, for .22 25m call it between shots routine)
Edit: gun manners are also one of the basics but I suppose you are looking for the more practical things.

- eyewear on and correctly aligned
- hearing protection
- magazine inserted and slide closed (25m)
- check that first round has fed (25m)

Stance
Sight Picture
Trigger Control
Follow Through
Breathing
Grip
So which is the most important....?
