What does 'follow through' refer to in firearms practice?

  1. Adjusting aim after the shot

  2. Maintaining sight alignment throughout the shot process

  3. Ready position of the firearm before shooting

  4. Counting to three before firing

The correct answer is: Maintaining sight alignment throughout the shot process

'Follow through' in firearms practice refers to maintaining sight alignment throughout the shot process. This concept is crucial for accuracy and consistency in shooting. It involves keeping your sights aligned on the target and maintaining your focus until the bullet exits the barrel. Good follow-through helps ensure that you do not inadvertently alter your aim or position after the trigger is pulled, which can lead to missed shots or reduced accuracy. This practice encourages shooters to remain steady, with their sights focused on the target, despite the recoil or noise that occurs when the firearm is discharged. By keeping the sights aligned and holding the position after firing, shooters increase the likelihood of hitting the intended target and developing better shooting habits overall.
