Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Natural Point of Aim (NPA) drill for carbines?

The NPA drill, performed at 3-5 yards, helps shooters establish their natural point of aim in a carbine stance. By closing eyes, lifting the carbine, and reacquiring the sight picture, shooters can adjust their stance to align their body with the target, identifying their weapon's height over bore.

How do rhythm drills improve carbine shooting?

Carbine rhythm drills involve firing sequences at varying cadences, from slow to fast. These drills focus on isolating the trigger press and ensuring the carbine settles consistently after each shot, enhancing control and accuracy for follow-up shots.

What does 'height over bore' mean in carbine shooting?

Height over bore refers to the vertical distance between the bore of your carbine and the center of your optic's sight picture. Understanding this is crucial for accurate aiming, especially at close distances, as it affects where your rounds will impact relative to your point of aim.

How can I correct 'squirrelly' shots during carbine drills?

If your shots become 'squirrelly' during faster cadences, it indicates a loss of control. Slow down your firing rate, focus on a clean trigger press, and ensure the carbine is settling consistently after each shot. Refine your technique at a slower pace before increasing speed.
