Indeed!  The B.R.A.S. system is a fine tool to help teach new shooters the basics of proper aiming.  I taught the same thing to new reserve deputy recruits (volunteer deputy sheriff, the new politically correct term for "sheriff's posse"), while teaching the basics of handgun, shotgun, and rifle.  Later on, we branched out on the BRAS technique to the "shoot-force beathe-shoot again" concept (forgot the acronym).  It is amazing at how many people, under stress, will hold their breath until they are blue in the face.

Have someone load for you but have them sneak some empty brass casings in the mag. Of course dont watch when you cycle the gun but you will see if you are anticipating the shot and jumping before you fire.


I actually got my mosin last night. First rifle that had ammo that didn't come in a little tin. Love it so far, it's a russian 91/30. Bolt and reciever numbers match and the trigger is perfect. Just took it apart and cleaned the years out of it. The stock gets sanded tomorrow and refinished.
