Breathing is always the first thing I train Soldiers on. We are taught it in basic, but most people forget all about it once range time comes. They get nervous and in the anticipation of waiting for the target they hold their breath, and then they miss damn near every shot. I lost count how many times I've had multiple time failures come to me, we go over breathing, and their next round they pass with the best score they have ever shot.

The way I teach, once you get breathing down and can stay consistent on when you're going to fire, then you can focus on finger placement and trigger squeeze, but without proper breathing you'll chase holes all day.
All good stuff but it doesn't fix old eyes.
