Shooting mechanics refer to the techniques and processes involved in accurately firing a projectile, such as a basketball or a firearm. Key components include stance, grip, aim, and follow-through. Proper alignment and body positioning help ensure that the shot is both powerful and precise. In basketball, for example, shooting mechanics involve using the legs for power, keeping the shooting elbow aligned with the basket, and releasing the ball at the peak of the jump. In firearms, shooting mechanics focus on breath control, trigger pull, and sight alignment to improve accuracy and consistency.
