I found this photo while researching Mel Gibson's words in "The Patroit";

Aim small, miss small.

What does he mean aim small?
Aiming at a certain part of the body, as opposed to just aiming at the whole body.

The picture above, I love it.
The page is part site of a Marine's site.
He's in Iraq.

I was thinking about aim small, miss small dued to a question on marksmanship.
Would that be the same as focus on the tip of front sight blade.
While holding the sight picture.
There , you would be aiming small and missing small if you didn't strike the bullseye.
