Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main challenges with the High Point 995 TS carbine's magazines?

The High Point 995 TS carbine is often limited by its standard 10-round magazines. Aftermarket 15-round magazines have shown significant unreliability, frequently jamming. Downloading these magazines to 13 or 14 rounds can improve their function, but this compromises the benefit of higher capacity.

How do Action Target electronic targets perform in terms of battery life?

Action Target electronic targets are designed for good battery life, operating on RF frequency. They can typically last around 2,000 rounds per battery cycle, provided the digital display is turned off when not in use to prevent continuous battery drain.

What are the safety considerations for a firearms training drill like this?

Safety is paramount. Always maintain muzzle discipline, keeping firearms pointed in a safe direction. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. Be aware of your surroundings, other participants, and follow all range safety protocols. Ensure firearms are cleared before and after the drill.

What advice is given regarding movement during a firearms course?

It is recommended to perform a slow jog rather than sprinting. This controlled pace helps prevent falls, reduces the likelihood of accidental discharges, and minimizes the risk of injury, allowing for more controlled and accurate shooting.
