Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core principle of the Achilles Heel Tactical shooting drill?

The core principle is developing shooter awareness by focusing on aggressive trigger control and maintaining a durable, consistent grip. This allows for predictable firearm behavior and improved accuracy, even at higher speeds.

How does the drill address aggressive trigger pressing?

The drill uses dry-fire 'smash' drills to desensitize the shooter to aggressive trigger manipulation. This is followed by live-fire '50/50' drills to test grip stability and sight return under such presses.

Why is maintaining visual connection to a small spot important in this drill?

Maintaining a refined visual connection to a small spot, like a target paster, is crucial. It requires discipline to look past the dot's movement during recoil and press the trigger without changing grip structure, leading to more consistent shot placement.

What is the recommended progression for this shooting drill?

The drill progresses by starting at close range and gradually increasing distance (e.g., 5, 10, 15, 25 yards). This allows shooters to identify and refine micro-adjustments in their technique as the demands of accuracy and speed increase.
