This study was designed to use quantitative metrics to identify whether or not a theoretical general model of Individual Factors (IFs) on marksmanship performance could be supported (Scribner & Morelli, 2020). The proposed model outlines and connects factors that may influence shooting and marksmanship performance including weapon, ammunition, and target characteristics as well as IF of the shooter (Scribner & Morelli, 2020). This study is the first phase of a larger, multi-study effort to better understand the impact of IFs on shooting performance across varying levels of marksmanship expertise. Further, this study aimed to examine IF model effects as various predictor and concomitant variables under a live-fire rules-of-engagement (ROE) target scenario with various target distances, exposure times, and workloads. General hypotheses on the effectiveness of this IF model were tested against standard experimental (or independent variable) models for both regression and analyses of variance and covariance.
