This video demonstrates two techniques for shooting with iron sights in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) context. The instructor explains the trade-offs between looking through the larger aperture versus looking over the rear sight, highlighting improved situational awareness with the latter. He also touches on the necessity of aiming high due to height over bore offset at CQB distances.

This video demonstrates an alternative iron sight shooting technique for Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances. The instructor explains how looking over the rear sight and focusing on the front sight post can improve situational awareness. While this method may cause shots to land high, it compensates for the height over bore offset common in CQB scenarios, especially when compared to red dot sights.

This video explores the pros and cons of mounting a pistol red dot on an AR-15. Key considerations include weight savings, structural rigidity, field of view, and suitability for different applications like CQB, competition, or duty use. While pistol red dots offer a lighter, more compact solution, rifle red dots generally provide better durability, a more forgiving sight picture, and compatibility with magnifiers for extended range engagements. The choice ultimately depends on the rifle's primary mission and the user's specific needs.

This guide details a CQB shooting technique using iron sights, focusing on aiming over the rear sight for improved speed and situational awareness. It explains how this method can naturally compensate for height over bore offset, a critical factor in close-quarters engagements. The technique emphasizes focusing on the front sight post for rapid target acquisition.
