Frequently Asked Questions

What is the '50% prep' technique for AR-15 triggers?

The '50% prep' involves disengaging the safety selector while simultaneously applying 3-4 pounds of spring tension on a two-stage trigger, staging it just before the break. This allows for faster engagement and better control.

Why do some instructors prefer non-ambidextrous safety selectors?

Non-ambidextrous safety selectors can help maintain proper trigger finger indexing along the receiver, reducing the risk of accidental manipulation and ensuring a more controlled transition to firing.

How does prepping the safety and trigger improve shooting performance?

Simultaneously prepping the safety selector and staging the trigger allows for quicker weapon engagement. It also provides a moment of self-control to confirm the sight picture before committing to the shot.

What firearm components are highlighted in the GBRS Group safety selector training?

The training features a custom BCM AR-15, equipped with a Unity Tactical FAST mount and an Aimpoint Micro series optic, chambered in 5.56 NATO.
