Frequently Asked Questions

What is the core principle of shooting and moving?

The core principle of shooting and moving is to only move as fast as you can accurately engage targets. Moving too quickly can compromise your ability to process the environment and hit your intended targets, especially in dynamic situations like CQB.

How should one move when shooting and moving?

When moving, bend slightly at the waist and use your knees as shock absorbers to shorten your stride. Focus on a heel-outside-foot-to-toe motion for stability and control during lateral movement.

What is the CQB Box Drill and its purpose?

The CQB Box Drill is a training exercise designed to simulate a 360-degree threat environment. It focuses on improving a shooter's ability to move, shoot, and engage targets effectively from various angles and distances in a confined space.

How is the CQB Box Drill scored?

The drill is scored based on time. On steel targets, three hits are required per engagement. On paper targets, hits must be within an 8-inch circle or square; any misses add one second to the shooter's total time.
