How can you ensure your firearm shooting accuracy?

By adjusting the sight regularly
Firing from the hip for faster shots
Using only one brand of ammunition
Practicing regularly and maintaining your firearm

The correct answer is: Practicing regularly and maintaining your firearm

Practicing regularly and maintaining your firearm is essential for ensuring shooting accuracy. Regular practice helps develop muscle memory, confidence, and familiarity with your firearm, which collectively enhance your shooting skills. Additionally, maintaining your firearm—through cleaning, proper storage, and routine checks—ensures that it operates correctly and reliably. A well-maintained gun functions as designed, which contributes to consistent performance and accuracy during shooting. Other options like adjusting the sight regularly can be part of a maintenance routine, but they don't inherently improve accuracy on their own unless accompanied by practice. Firing from the hip might expedite shooting but typically sacrifices precision. Using only one brand of ammunition may not significantly affect accuracy, as performance can vary based on multiple factors including the specific firearm and conditions of use. Regular practice and maintenance create a solid foundation that consistently leads to improved shooting accuracy.
