Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'greedy eyes' technique in shooting?

The 'greedy eyes' technique, as taught by Achilles Heel Tactical, emphasizes using your vision to drive target transitions. It means looking intently through the barrel towards the next target, anticipating its appearance, rather than passively scanning.

Why should you keep your firearm up during target transitions?

Keeping the firearm up during target transitions, as advised by Achilles Heel Tactical, maintains a consistent shooting platform and reduces the time needed to re-acquire a sight picture. It prevents unnecessary movement that slows down follow-up shots.

How do you know if you are in the correct position for target transitions?

According to Achilles Heel Tactical, a good indicator is that when you are focused on your primary target, you should not be able to see secondary targets in your peripheral vision. This suggests you are aligned correctly for the current target.

What is a common mistake to avoid when transitioning between targets?

A common mistake to avoid, highlighted by Achilles Heel Tactical, is bringing the firearm down and then back up between shots or target changes. This disrupts your shooting rhythm and adds unnecessary steps to the process.
