This may have something to do with breathing, as they talk about inhaling and exhaling and holding one's breath for firing a weapon... Any idea?

agree Stephen Franke : Aiming. FYI, that is part of the "integrated act of shooting," described in the US Army by the acronym "BRASS" = breathe, aim, relax, make a good sight picture (align the sights on the target), (slowly) squeeze to take up the slack in the trigger => bang

inhaling

التنشية هي استنشاق الهواء. والمطلوب في النص هو عدم الإطالة في الاستنشاق وإبقاء الهواء في الرئتين لفترة طويلة، لأنه يفقد التحكم بالحركة اللا إرادية للجسم. لكن الأفضل هو الاستنشاق ثم التريث قليلا فقط وليس الإطالة. وقد أطلقت العرب اسم المستنشية على الساحرة لأنها تبحث عن الأخبار. ومنها نقول: يستنشق الخبر أو يشتمّ الأخبار بأنفه

Correction of mis-typing

Apologies for hasty typing in my last comment about the sequence of terms involved in the US Army acronym "BRASS" =

SHOULD BE as follows:

Breathe

Relax

Aim

Sight picture = Make a good "sight picture" by aligning the sights with the target)

Squeeze = slowly squeeze to take up the slack in the trigger

Khair, in sha' Allah.

Regards,

Stephen H. Franke

إعداد أو تجهيز

تنشية is also used to mean nurturing so by means of deduction you have the meaning of preparing for the firing?
