Frequently Asked Questions

What are the GBRS Basic Shooting Standards?

The GBRS Basic Shooting Standards are a series of drills designed to establish a performance baseline. They include Low Ready, High Ready, Rifle Bill Drill, 3 Body/2 Head, Combat Reload, Rifle to Pistol Transition, and the Check Drill, testing weapon mechanics, presentation, and accuracy under time pressure.

How does 'height over bore' affect shooting accuracy?

Height over bore is the distance between the barrel and the optic. At close ranges, this difference means you must aim slightly higher than the intended impact point (a 'CQB holdover') to compensate, especially when transitioning between targets of different sizes.

What is the importance of stance in tactical shooting?

Unlike martial arts which may use 'blading,' tactical shooting requires squaring the hips and shoulders to the threat. This maximizes the coverage of ballistic plates, offering better protection against incoming threats.

What are key elements of efficient weapon manipulation?

Efficient weapon manipulation, as seen in combat reloads and transitions, focuses on using your 'workspace' to maintain situational awareness. Economy of motion is crucial, especially during rifle-to-pistol transitions at close range.
