Talking with Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Tien Bac, commander of the training and field trip center, he said: In order for new soldiers to master the movements and techniques in the shooting positions, the center's commander required: The training staff, especially the platoon leader who directly trains, should focus on performing sample movements, training new soldiers in technical movements from slow practice, dividing movements to gradually practicing faster and perfecting the movements, training endurance when performing the movements of lifting and holding the gun in the kneeling and standing shooting positions.

At the same time, in order for new soldiers to aim well, the training staff has done a good job of training the content of aiming at the red target and aiming accurately, aiming closely, as a basis for classifying the quality of aiming of new soldiers, from which there are measures to guide and provide in-depth guidance to comrades with unstable aiming lines and eye problems.

Bui Quyen Anh encouraged his younger brother, Bui Duc Vuong, to try to shoot well to show off to their parents. Because their parents often called to encourage the two brothers: to try to study hard and practice well. In daily life, the two brothers always exchanged and helped each other with practice, followed the prescribed regimes and participated in the unit's activities.

For Private Bui Duc Nam, a soldier of Company 36, during shooting practice, because he was left-handed, Nam practiced aiming with his left eye. The unit's commanders discovered this and encouraged and guided Nam to practice aiming with his right eye, so that when shooting real bullets, the shell casing would not hit his head. Nam practiced diligently and achieved good test scores, which was the result of Nam's persistent efforts and determination.

The good result was a great source of encouragement for The, because he had overcome his own fear.

As for Bui The Ninh, a soldier from Company 36, who scored 83 points, the highest score of the shooting session, shared: The most difficult part was the standing shooting movement, I practiced a lot to reduce the vibration of the gun.
