Aim at, point your crosshair at, ...

[Trueman]

Hello everyone )

I need your help to make a tutorial for the video game (first-person shooter).

Please tell me, which version is the best or offer your version.

I. The 1st situation:

1) "Aim at the target, then <do smth>"
2) "Point your crosshair at the target, then <do smth>"
3) "Aim the target, then <do smth>"
4) ?

The "target" can be a game character (human), or a car, zombie, crate, anything.

II. The 2nd situation:
1) "Aim at your feet, then <do smth>"
2) "Point your crosshair at your feet, then <do smth>"
3) "Point your crosshair to your feet, then <do smth>"
4) "Aim your feet, then <do smth>"
5) ?

Also, what is better to say: "your crosshair", "a crosshair", "the crosshair", ... ?

I hope you understand me.

Thanks a lot!

The word is 'crosshairs' (there are 2 of them in a gunsight), and crosshairs are not 'pointed at' anything; the target is set in the middle of the gun's crosshairs.

I. The 1st situation:

1) "Aim at the target, then <do smth>"
2) "Set the target in your crosshairs, then <do smth>"

II. The 2nd situation: the same as above.
