Frequently Asked Questions

What was the main tactical error in the U.S. Navy AR-15 photo?

The most significant error was mounting the Trijicon VCOG optic backwards, making it impossible to aim. Additionally, the shooting stance and grip were criticized as unstable and incorrect.

How should a shooter properly grip an AR-15?

A proper grip involves a 'C-clamp' technique where the thumb rests on top of the receiver or handguard, and the index finger hovers near the trigger, providing firm control.

Why is the 'chicken wing' stance bad for shooting?

The 'chicken wing' stance, where the elbow is flared out, creates an unstable platform, reduces weapon control, and can lead to inconsistent accuracy. A more tucked-in stance is preferred.

What optic was shown incorrectly mounted in the Navy photo?

The optic shown incorrectly mounted was a Trijicon VCOG (Variable Combat Optical Gunsight). It was mounted backwards on the AR-15's rail system.
