Tips & Tactics | Kristy Titus: Natural Point of Aim

posted on March 5, 2020

Finding your natural point of aim (NPA) is one of the most important aspects of downrange accuracy. The goal of NPA is to lessen natural body movement that could affect your shot. Of course it's impossible to completely eliminate those natural body movements, but it's possible to minimize their impact on your shot by finding your natural point of aim. In this episode of Tips & Tactics, sponsored by Cabela's Outdoor Fund, Kristy Titus explains the process of testing your natural point of aim with a rifle, and Gabby Franco follows up to explain that the same can be done when shooting a pistol.
