Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended distance from a barricade when shooting from a standing position?

According to Navy SEAL Mark 'Coch' Cochiolo, a good rule of thumb is to maintain approximately one foot of distance between your muzzle and the edge of the barricade to avoid crowding the corner and maximize your use of cover.

How should your stance be adjusted for shooting from a barricade?

For barricade shooting, you should reverse your normal stance. Place your non-strong foot forward, pointing its toe towards the threat or the edge of the barricade, and square up your body.

What is the proper body and rifle stock position when shooting from a barricade?

When shooting from a barricade, blade your body off the corner and position the rifle stock to the outside of your shoulder, not tight against it. This keeps more of your body behind cover.

How should you move around a barricade when the threat is not yet visible?

If the threat isn't visible, shuffle your feet incrementally. Bring your lighter rear foot forward and shuffle your front foot over by about the width of your foot to reposition for the next observation.
