| Feb 10, 2019 at 19:06 | comment | added | Aethenosity | @FumbleFingers which is why I said "even if it ENDS with aim". As in, without any context. To be ESPECIALLY clear: in my opinion "how to aim" sounds much clearer and less ambiguous than "how to take aim" regardless of context | |
| Feb 10, 2019 at 17:20 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | @Aethenosity: Unlike you, I have no particular preference for or against either if followed by [with, using,...] a shotgun. But the question as posed doesn't include that additional context. | |
| Feb 9, 2019 at 20:36 | comment | added | Aethenosity | @FumbleFingers how to aim a shotgun sounds much better than how to take aim with a shotgun. Even if it ends with aim, take aim makes it sound wordy. The addition of take even adds a bit of ambiguity imo | |

| Feb 8, 2019 at 14:51 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | [You must learn] how to aim sounds just a bit too "clipped" for me in this context. I'd prefer ...how to take aim. | |
| Feb 8, 2019 at 14:46 | comment | added | Robusto | Instead of those, how about "How to hit the target?" or "Aiming to hit the target?" | |

| Feb 8, 2019 at 14:44 | comment | added | Juhasz | Are you sure you need any adverb (not adjective)? What's wrong with "How to Aim"? There is no way "how to aim" would ever mean "how to aim poorly." | |
