AK Corner: Poor Man’s EO-Tech October 8, 2022 by The Tactical Hermit in AK Corner, Firearm Training Tips, Rifle Corner, Shooting Mechanics, Training, Training Tips and tagged AK Corner, AK Hacks, Poor-Mans EO-Tech, Rifle Drills, Shooting Mechanics, Snap Shots, Sonny Puzikas Sonny Puzikas was the first person I heard use the term “Poor Man’s EO-Tech” in relation to the front-sight aperture on an AK many moons ago. Coming from the AR school of thought, I was not sold on the ideal that you could neglect your rear sights and still make accurate shots. I was soon proven wrong and shown how at 50+ yards this technique could put Combat Accurate (not sub-MOA groups) rounds on target, aka “Snap Shots”.

I have Always Began my Rifle Drills with the 4 Position Warm-Up. 4 rds from Each Position at 100 yds: Standing, Kneeling, Sitting and Prone. Remember to Incorporate Movement and Cover in your Drills. Gunfights are not Static! People Tend to move when they are getting shot at. Share this:EmailTwitterFacebookPrintPinterestLike this:Like Loading...
