Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best rifle for speed shooting practice?

Jerry Miculek recommends the Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 as a cost-effective training tool for speed shooting. Its .22 LR caliber makes practice more affordable, allowing for extensive repetition of drills to build speed and accuracy.

How can I improve my trigger control for faster shooting?

Focus on minimizing finger movement and 'air' on the trigger. Feel the trigger face and use a smooth, controlled pull straight to the rear. This prevents disturbing sight alignment, crucial for accurate rapid fire.

What drills does Jerry Miculek suggest for speed shooting?

Miculek demonstrates the Bill Drill (five shots on steel), Dueling Tree drills for transitions, and Plate Rack drills. These exercises focus on target acquisition, sight tracking, and efficient movement between targets.

What safety precautions are important for .22 LR rifles?

Be aware that dirty .22 LR rifles can have extraction failures. Always visually confirm an empty chamber using a chamber flag, such as a zip tie, to prevent accidental discharges.
