The Tactical Chicken Wing

 

A great example of a technique more suited for competitive and sport shooting but not the modern tactical battlefield.

Train Often and Realistically.

Rates of Fire for the Rifleman

 

Reed and Heed.

“Weapons employment and squad firepower are not determined by how fast Marines can fire their weapons but how fast they can fire accurately.“

So how does this translate into practice? Simple; the rifleman’s rate of fire is as quickly as he can aim down his sights, squeeze off an accurate shot, acquire another sight picture, and squeeze off another accurate shot. That’s all you need to remember. This technique naturally adjusts the rate of fire to different ranges. It will take you longer to line up a shot at greater ranges, which means that your rate of fire at greater ranges is decreased. Conversely, your rate of fire increases as the distance to your target decreases.

Great reference articles.

This is a SKILL SET most rifleman neglect.

Do yourself a favor and devote some time to this.

Understanding Ballistics is what seperates a GOOD shooter from a GREAT one.

Long Distance Shooting is a HIGHLY PERISHABLE SKILL!

Dad trains his daughter how to handle her firearm (awesome)…

 

If you got youngsters in your family, take them shooting and get them interested in firearms NOW, especially riflemanship.

There is no better investment in their future or the future of this country, take my word on that.
