Shooting Straight: 20 Years of Rifle Markmanship Research

Abstract

The U.S. Army Research Institute (ARI) has developed numerous research products for rifle marksmanship training over the past 20 years. This report highlights ARI marksmanship research efforts during this period of time, focusing on those contributions that continue to influence soldier training today. ARI marksmanship contributions have included program evaluation, instructional development, the design of training materials for students and instructors, systems research, training device development, and training device evaluation. Future marksmanship research questions are discussed in the areas of system integration, new systems training, and simulation training strategies.
