Frequently Asked Questions

What is the VTAC 1-5 drill?

The VTAC 1-5 drill, developed by Kyle Lamb of Viking Tactics, is a high-speed shooting exercise where a shooter engages five targets positioned at 25 yards, typically with 10 yards of separation between each target.

What key shooting mechanics are involved in the VTAC 1-5 drill?

This drill demands mastery of cognitive and physical mechanics, including rapid eye processing (saccadic movements), precise trigger control, effective recoil management, and strong kinesthetic awareness (proprioception and exteroception).

How can shooters improve their performance in the VTAC 1-5 drill?

Travis Haley suggests focusing on 'fire, not flash' and pushing limits by increasing the distance to targets (50, 100, 200 yards) to enhance kinesthetic awareness and overall marksmanship.

What equipment was used in the VTAC 1-5 drill demonstration?

The demonstration featured an AR-15 rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO, equipped with a red dot sight and a two-point tactical sling, likely from brands like Geissele Automatics.
