Marksmanship Training

Building precision for operational success

Effective combat begins with accurate shooting. Marksmanship training forms the foundation of infantry readiness, enabling soldiers to develop and refine essential skills such as sight alignment, trigger control, recoil management, and follow-through.

In high-stakes defence environments, there is no margin for error—training must be precise, efficient, and measurable. W5 Training delivers high quality marksmanship training solutions that provide real-time feedback and performance insights, ensuring combat forces are prepared for every operational scenario.

Weapons Proficiency and Safety

Before introducing the stress and complexity of tactical scenarios, individuals must demonstrate safe and effective handling of firearms. Marksmanship training ensures that trainees:

  • Understand and follow the four basic firearm safety rules.
  • Can manipulate the weapon reliably (loading, clearing malfunctions, etc.).
  • Build muscle memory for proper stance, grip, sight alignment, and trigger control.
