Updated: 9/20/2023

Join a shooting club and see if they have a team or league for beginners. See if experienced shooters will coach you and guide you. Read books on rifle marksmanship. Watch videos. There are many free instructional videos on rifle shooting (slow, accurate marksmanship) on YouTube and other sites. Get a lot of practice done AFTER you study the methods and techniques.

Learn to use iron sights as well as a scope.

Learn to shoot with a shooting sling, and with a field sling, and with no sling.

Learn to shoot a rifle unsupported standing, and sitting, and prone, and across a bench with rests under the gun.

Learn to shoot rapid fire, timed fire, and slow fire.

Learn to shoot 1-centimeter groups at 50 feet and 1-meter groups from half a mile.
