Frequently Asked Questions

How can I improve my rifle transitions between targets?

To improve rifle transitions, commit to the movement with your feet and drive the rifle towards the target instead of swinging it. Dipping the rifle vertically helps pivot it around its mass for better control and accuracy.

What is the correct way to manage recoil with a .308 rifle?

Instead of using an overly wide stance to absorb recoil from a .308, it's often more effective to accept some muzzle flip and maintain a more mobile stance. This allows for quicker follow-up shots and transitions.

How should my rifle sling be adjusted?

Your rifle sling should have minimal slack. It needs to be snug enough to prevent the rifle from swinging freely or hitting your legs when stowed, allowing you to let go of the gun and use your hands effectively.

What is the proper technique for a press check?

A press check involves pulling the bolt to the rear, feeling for ammunition, and then re-seating the bolt. It's a tactile confirmation, especially useful under night vision, and doesn't require visual inspection of the magazine.
