AR 15 - Drills

[Magnus]

I ran some drills with a Vet I met at the range last weekend. Nothing too complicated but I realized my bench top shooting just wasn't as exciting as his shooting drills. We practiced multiple target engagements and reloading, tactical reloads and two man team drills. What are you guys into?

Multi target engagement: 2 mags filled with 3 rds each. You put two into target one's vital area and one into second targets vital, reload and put another to target 2's vital area. Finish them off with a head shot each and scan the area.

Tactical reload: 2 mags filled with 3rds each. Put 2 rds into the target, pop out mag and load up a new one put 4 rds into the target.

Two man drill: One man engaging targets while second man faces opposite direction. When teammate engaging target goes empty he signals the other to engage target while you reload.

He refused to teach me barrel roll techniques.....

I miss doing drills like that. I think that's why I have gotten into pistols. I can setup and do drills much easier by myself. Also I have a non neutered firearm to play with, neglecting magazine capacity.

I don't miss carrying the m60 and reacting to contact drills at all. Lmao

3 gun, rifle matches and new into PRS gas gun.

Most of the good matches are in pa. Nj. Va. and wv. We run some matches at my club that i make pretty challenging. Ulster county 12401 area. Several other local matches as wrll.

Should on the move. Shooting in awkward positions. Shooting in cars around cars under cars. Shooting at small 2 inch targets at 20 yards. Shooting from inside of a tunnel. Shooting off of a chain. Shooting from an uncomfortable VTAC wall. Shooting under a barricade with the gun sideways. Shooting off a simulated roof. Shooting after a small run. Shooting a texas star at 100. Shooting at a target you must rotate at 100 (takes 10 good hits with a 55gr to get it over. Almost impossible if you gotta reload. ). Shooting the polish plate rack. Shooting a plate rack at 100 off hand. Shooting from a "pig crate" which is a box made from pallets that you have to shoot from within 3 sides and a top with a board across the open side so you are inside shooting through the pallet boards. Shooting from a moving golf cart you are driving (pistol) while staying between given lines. Shooting inside a concrete bathhouse (yes targets in the stalls). Other things i am sure i have forgotten.

Various cool things like that that are very difficult.

I was only kidding. Your drills just seem more advanced, plus they don't allow chains at my range. I am going to look into 3-gun matches though.

I'm talking about Shane suspended between two operates. We make the height so you can't say it's not comfortable to Neil and we make a shoe off the center part of the chain only wear it moves. We have a 2 x 4 frame of the chain between the two.

It's all about shooting in positions that no one ever practices.

One of the most difficult ones that I did recently was inside of a monster covert pipe. I couldn't kneel, I couldn't stand, I couldn't sit comfortably, nothing was giving me any support. We had targets out 200 , they were 6 inches.
