This training drill, demonstrated with a Springfield Armory Saint rifle, addresses the significant front sight offset inherent in AR-15 platforms. Unlike pistols, the distance between the bore centerline and the top of the front sight on an AR-15 causes a noticeable impact shift at close range. The drill involves aiming at a specific zone on a target marked with a diagonal line, requiring the shooter to compensate for this offset by aiming slightly higher than the desired impact point. Consistent practice of this 'uplook and press' technique helps shooters become more proficient at close-quarters engagements.
