Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Musical Chairs' drill for AR-15s?

The 'Musical Chairs' drill focuses on target transitions. It involves shooting a controlled pair at a large target, then quickly transitioning to engage a smaller, differently angled target with a single shot, improving speed and accuracy between targets.

How do you perform the SPORT method for AR-15 malfunctions?

The SPORT method is an acronym for clearing jams: Slap the magazine firmly, Pull the charging handle fully to the rear, Observe the chamber to ensure the obstruction is clear, Release the charging handle, and Tap the forward assist to ensure the bolt is forward.

What are controlled pairs in AR-15 shooting?

Controlled pairs, also known as double taps, involve firing two shots in rapid succession at a target. The goal is to keep both shots tightly grouped, often within the same hole, before recoil significantly affects the second shot's aim.

What is reflexive fire in the context of AR-15 training?

Reflexive fire involves reacting to threats detected in your peripheral vision. This drill emphasizes pivoting your body 90 degrees towards the threat and engaging it quickly, ensuring your center mass and body armor are oriented correctly.
