This is a reactive marksmanship-based training focused on biomechanics and efficient manipulations with a final goal to improve the efficiency of speed and accuracy in carbine/rifle shooting. Through a combination of lecture, group discussion, demonstration, and testing, each student will learn how to practically apply the concepts of Reactive Shooting with a semi/auto carbine/rifle. You will learn the principles of Reactive Shooting Science, how they correlate to carbine/rifle and how to apply those principles on an individual basis. Each trainee will understand how to self-diagnose any deficiencies or errors using these principles and how to correct them immediately.

COURSE OVERVIEW

• Fire Control Triangle – purposes, principles, and techniques of the shooting stance, grip, and trigger control for high-speed shooting while maintaining a high level of accuracy

  • Using stance and grip to create passive control over the carbine/rifle
  • Diagnostics of recovery after the shot
  • Trigger control – purposes and principles
• Grouping patterns and diagnostics – how to read your shooting group in dynamic close-range fire and how to discover and correct potential technical problems in recoil control or trigger pull.
• Sight offset factor (point of aim, point of impact) for close quarter engagements
• Principles behind efficient multiple targets engagements
• Reactive Shooting Cycle – the “algorithm” of the shot (the six elements of the perfect shot)
• Zeroing and zero confirmation
• Ready positions and rapidly mounting/dismounting the rifle
• Off-hand engagement 50 – 100 yards and midrange distances with multiple shots
• Dynamic engagements and shooting on the move
• Principles of support
• Utilizing additional support for fast target engagements at medium and long-range distances and factors of influence in a realistic environment
