reaiming
Adjusting your sights
Reaiming is the act of adjusting one's aim after an initial attempt, whether with a weapon, camera, or any directed effort.
The word applies both literally—he spent a moment reaiming before taking the second shot—and figuratively, as when someone redirects their focus or goals.
In gaming contexts, reaiming is a constant tactical consideration, especially after recoil or when tracking moving targets.
