Videos tagged with Optic Occlusion

This video critiques Aero Precision AR-15 rifles, highlighting premature barrel wear and reliability issues after approximately 5,000 rounds. The speaker contrasts this with BCM rifles, which have proven to be reliable workhorses with significantly higher round counts. The video emphasizes the importance of a trouble-free training experience, comparing it to the dependability of Toyota trucks.

Ben Stoeger explains the use of tape on a firearm's optic, a technique called occlusion, as a dry fire training tool. This method forces the shooter to focus on the target rather than the Red Dot, promoting better sight alignment and target acquisition. It's particularly useful for rifles where the optic is closer and more prone to being stared at, helping to identify and correct the habit of focusing on the aiming device.
