What should you not do when a shooter is preparing to fire?

When a shooter is preparing to fire, it is crucial to maintain a focused and safe environment. Engaging in conversation or distracting the shooter can lead to a loss of concentration and increase the risk of an unsafe situation. The shooter needs to be in a calm and focused state to ensure both their safety and that of others around them. Distractions can interfere with their mental preparation and could potentially lead to accidents or misfires.

In contrast, ensuring that the shooter is properly positioned, checking their breathing technique, and assisting with their aim are all supportive actions that contribute positively to their performance and safety. These actions promote a stable shooting environment conducive to accurate and safe execution of the shot.
