In target shooting, where should the entire front bead be held?

In target shooting, the correct positioning of the front bead is critical for achieving accuracy. Holding the entire front bead on the exact point of impact ensures that the shooter is aligning their sights correctly with the target. This alignment allows for a direct line of sight, which is essential for hitting the intended target.

When the front bead is centered on the exact point, it helps the shooter maintain focus on the target while keeping the sights aligned, thus promoting a consistent shooting technique. This practice also aids in reducing the possibility of dropping the shot low or high, which can occur if the bead is held incorrectly in relation to the target.

Other approaches, such as holding the bead above or below the target or off to the side, can lead to misalignment and negatively affect accuracy. By ensuring that the entire front bead rests on the exact point of impact, shooters maximize their chances of hitting the target consistently.
