Frequently Asked Questions

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

The 'hammered pairs' drill involves firing two shots in rapid succession, emphasizing speed and accuracy. This drill is often used to simulate engaging multiple threats or re-engaging a single threat quickly and effectively.

Why is adjusting point of aim important in rifle shooting?

Adjusting point of aim is crucial, especially at closer distances, to compensate for 'height over bore.' This is the vertical distance between the rifle's bore and the optic's sightline, meaning you often need to aim slightly higher than the desired impact point.

How does height over bore affect shooting at different distances?

Height over bore has a more significant impact at closer distances. As the target gets closer, the angle between the bore and the sightline becomes more pronounced, requiring a higher point of aim to hit the intended point of impact.

What is the goal of the 'hammered pairs' drill with modified aim?

The goal is to maintain rapid engagement speed while accurately compensating for aiming adjustments, ensuring sufficient damage is delivered to neutralize the target effectively, even if the target is moving or the aim point shifts slightly.
