Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my rifle accuracy under stress?

Incorporate dynamic stress drills like the one demonstrated by Joe Farewell. This involves physical exertion (running) followed by a sprint back to a barricade to take a single, accurate shot. The goal is to practice maintaining focus and precision despite an elevated heart rate and breathing.

What equipment is needed for the rifle stress drill?

You'll need a rifle, a timer with a random delay function (2-4 seconds), a barricade (like a VTAC wall, chair, or tank trap), and a target that presents a moderate challenge, such as a 6-inch plate at 100 yards.

What is the primary objective of the dynamic stress drill?

The main objective is to train your ability to maintain a high degree of accuracy with your rifle while experiencing physical exertion and mental stress. It forces you to consciously slow down and take the time needed for a precise shot, even when your body is under duress.

How does varying shooting ports benefit this drill?

Changing the shooting port at the barricade (e.g., high, low, middle) adds complexity and realism to the drill. It simulates different tactical scenarios and forces you to adapt your shooting position and technique under stress, rather than relying on a single, comfortable setup.
