Frequently Asked Questions

What is the '2-2-4-2-2' drill for AR-15 shooting?

The '2-2-4-2-2' drill involves firing 2 rounds at the first target, 2 at the second, 4 at the third, 2 at the fourth, and 2 at the fifth, totaling 12 rounds. It's designed to test stability and transitions during rapid fire.

How does stance affect AR-15 shooting speed and stability?

An aggressive, forward-leaning, staggered stance provides better leverage and stability against recoil than a squared stance. Maintaining weight on the balls of the feet is key for quick target re-acquisition after each shot.

The 'Noir Skills & Drills' series aims to share advanced shooting techniques learned from professional training courses, like those from Haley Strategic, with a wider audience who may not have access to such specialized instruction.

What is the importance of staying 'married to the trigger' after a drill?

Staying 'married to the trigger' means maintaining light pressure even after the last shot. This ensures proper analysis of performance, confirms the sight picture, and keeps the shooter ready for immediate follow-up actions if necessary.
