Seems simple right? If only it were that easy we’d all be Wyatt Earp! Remember Rubin you can learn anything as long as you can relate to the material. Sight picture is a little more complex-sounding but arguably simpler: proper sight alignment while aimed at a target. Sight alignment is properly aligning the front and rear sights on a firearm so the round goes where the shooter aims. In my experience teaching new shooters, or refining experienced shooters, I feel the most crucial step in the marksmanship process are two concepts called Sight Alignment and Sight Picture. You can hit a bullseye, or even two, with luck, but the accomplished shooter can do it shot after shot. Purposeful repeatability is the true evidence of an accomplished shooter.

Conversely, if you shoot without being careful, much like cooking those pizzas without using measuring cups, your shots will scatter. If you are careful about how closely you follow the steps (and how well you manage pistol recoil), your shots will hit the target where you intend. Marksmanship, like cooking, is a series of steps that get repeated every single trigger squeeze. Or, if you cook like me, your pizzas will look like 10 completely different items. If you alter any one of those steps or ingredients, even by a fraction, you can end up with 10 pizzas that taste just a little different. The oven has to be set to a specific temperature and each pizza needs to be in the oven for a specific amount of time. Each time you make the dough and the sauce, it takes a specific amount of ingredients in a specific order. It's deeply frustrating trying to focus on shooting when the gun is swaying like it's made out of jello.Now here is where pizza making and marksmanship share roots. This is what i've been trying to say, holding down the hold breath/right mouse button should lock the view. I thought it was a great suggestion by Jason-Alaska. Ideally, if this were implemented it would mean that 'hold breath' centers ironsight view as well as blocks out TrackIR input on all axes except leaning. This issue was raised in that thread because with TrackIR after the demo version, you're stuck with freelooking in ironsights and it makes it VERY hard to center your view quickly in the heat of battle because it's so sensitive. A good key to use, because when you're holding your breath you are going to want to fire shortly after so looking around in ironsights while holding breath is null and void. Pressing the 'hold breath' key should lock your vision forward and center. Someone there has come up with a very good suggestion on what could be done here. Regarding the issue of freelook in ironsights - check out my TrackIR post.
