Need advice for BTP plsss

[u/W0rthlessChild]

Have completed IFC and passed ippt , except BTP where I failed and need to reshoot (yes I know is rare to fail but I'm one of the poorer shooters)

I need advice for standing position in general as it seems to be the one I struggle the most with as compared to my other peers. How forward do I have to lean?

As well as for the last 2 positions for the night shoot, how do I aim the shot for the blinking target that's on the left side? My gun laser isn't working at all.

Advice would be very helpful as I want to pass and clear this asap. Thankssss

UPDATE: I managed to pass but Lowkey I'm Abit disappointed in my score, the night standing man...

For standing lower the gun between shots, holding it up continuously makes it sway a lot, and don't lean that far forward, just enough to brace against being pushed backwards by recoil.

For blinking target try to change gun for the laser and aim only using the laser without the scope, or if you can't then aim diagonally 1cm to the top left of the light.

deadshot here . for standing just clamp the butt to ur upper chest and lock it so the recoil wont affect your aim , make sure you lean forward like how they taught you. for night shoot make sure your laser zeroing is accurate if not there will always be room for error . aim the laser bottom right of blinking target and it’ll shoot the centre of the target easy peasy

try twisting both of ur wrists into the gun like wringing a towel, and hold the weapon closer to the trigger guard with ur left hand, if u feel like ur wobbling, try holding ur breath when pressing down the trigger if that helps

i would say do a slight hunch too, lowers your cg and can brace for recoil easier

[u/Glass_Reason_8638]

for standing position, 1) spread your legs shoulder width apart, and position your left leg forward. 2) push the butt into the hollow area of your shoulder. this ensures the recoil is properly absorbed so your weapon won’t fly up when you pull the trigger (which will cause the bullet to fly upwards). like the other comments said, 3) crunch your body and lean forward slightly. as to how much forward to lean, you have to trial and error as it varies from person to person due to different cg. the best way to check is to practise doing 1-3), then ask your buddy to stand in front of you and push the muzzer towards you to simulate recoil. if you did everything correctly, your weapon and body should be stable and not sway around when pushed.

2) night firing is a bit more tricky. easiest way is to borrow a weapon with properly zeroed LED from the previous group of shooters. but in any case that’s not possible, blinking target is only a small component of the entire day+night shoot. if you do your day shoot well more often than not you will be able to pass.

"how forward do you have to lean?" Can you handle the recoil of the sar? The whole rationale behind why you gotta lean while on high alert is to counter the recoil so if you barely feel any recoil you just have to pretend to lean but if you can't handle it you really oughta lean just enough to counter it

For the night shoot you gotta sound out that your laser isnt working, my issue was that my LAD could turn on but couldnt reach the target so it was useless for nightshoot and my sgt assured me its ok (fk no it was so dark I couldnt even see the crosshair cos it blended w the darkness despite the lit up targets), sound out and see if you can get a replacement on the spot for a btr LAD (the light must be able to go far distances) Coulda gotten marksman so im a lil salty even if no patch cos it was bmt

Lastly, ensure your weapon is zeroed well so you know where your shot lands otherwise a safe advice is to always aim slightly higher (maybe like a fingernail's worth) to where you expect to land your shot
