Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'hammered pairs' drill in firearms training?

The 'hammered pairs' drill involves firing two rapid shots with a slight adjustment to the point of aim between shots. This technique tests a shooter's ability to maintain accuracy and control during rapid follow-up engagements, ensuring consistent shot groups.

Why is 'height over bore' important in rifle shooting?

'Height over bore' refers to the distance between the rifle's bore and the optic's sight line. Understanding this is crucial for accurate aiming, especially at closer distances, as it requires the shooter to aim slightly higher to compensate for the optic's elevation.

How does the 'hammered pairs' drill help with target incapacitation?

This drill focuses on delivering rapid, accurate fire to vital areas. By maintaining tight shot groups and consistent speed, shooters can ensure they deliver sufficient damage to incapacitate a threat quickly and reliably, even under pressure.

What should a shooter consider when practicing point of aim adjustments?

When practicing point of aim adjustments, shooters should focus on maintaining a stable platform and controlled recoil. They must also understand how their optic's 'height over bore' affects point of impact at different distances and practice compensating accordingly.
