Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Train the Trainer' methodology in firearm instruction?

The 'Train the Trainer' methodology empowers individuals who have taken firearm classes to then teach those skills to their family, friends, and community. This approach reinforces the learner's knowledge and aims to increase overall preparedness and capability within a group.

How should one establish a proper firearm grip according to FieldCraft Survival?

A proper grip involves placing the web of your thumb and index finger high in the firearm's dovetail. Then, build the grip by marrying your support hand to your strong side hand, ensuring continuity between the palms when presenting the weapon.

What are the key elements of a stable shooting stance?

A stable stance requires feet shoulder-width apart, with the balls of your strong side foot aligned with the heel of your support side foot. Additionally, maintain a slight five-degree bend at the waist and keep your chin forward.

How does the 'now' drill help with trigger control?

The 'now' drill isolates trigger reset. The shooter takes all the slack out of the trigger, waits for a cue, breaks the shot, and then resets the trigger to the point just before the break, helping them identify the mechanical stop.
