MSG Rob Mango, USAR Service Pistol Team Coach and SSO (SYSTEMS SUPPORT OFFICER) at TSC (TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER), TECOM, Kaneohe Bay, Marine Corps Base Hawaii,  shares the following training presentation.

I made this POI when I was the Chief Marksmanship Instructor for USMC base Hawaii.  The notes are my own words and are very specific and correct.  Since I made this, I’ve taught it to 8-10 Squad Designated Marksman courses from 2007-2010.  The success of my students in theatre was so apparent that TECOM has made most verbiage of my (this) class USMC doctrine.  I recommend you play the slideshow on one computer (for animation) and follow along with the notes on another or a printout.  I would take the 15-20 minutes to review my wording and pay attention to detail while learning it.  Please excuse any grammar mistakes.

I send this to you all because It literally took me 8 yrs (of winning) until the “light” turned on for me, in the specific fundamental of aiming.  I hope it helps one of you.

I realize some topics in the POI could be considered “theory”.  I am not perfect but I strive for excellence.  If you find something questionable, please feel free to tell me about it.  I always want to improve my repertoire.
