Some aspects of the initial training of the shooter-athlete

The training of athletes in shooting from hand - held combat small arms has a number of specific features. Since this sport is a service - applied sport, they begin to engage in it at a rather late age compared to bullet shooting. A person who begins to engage in this type of shooting often does not have a full idea of all the difficulties that can be expected. In this article, the author considers some features of the preparation of athletes, as well as cadets and trainees at the initial stages of training. Special attention is paid to the preparatory aspects, which should be paid special attention to even before the production of the first shot of their combat weapons. The article also discusses the option of working with students to develop skills for the production of the first shot, which allows laying the foundation for further successful development in shooting from combat weapons.
