Very first AR target grouping

As a guy that regularly shoots in full kit, and has been trained by tier one military guys, I disagree.

 

I appreciate your experience.  Thing is, as a municipal cop it doesn't necessarily make your opinion the final word. Why do some of your posts come across that way?

Unless you are wearing a baby Bjorn with full infant as part of your kit, the isosceles prone position is very viable in full kit.  Current active duty military do use it and are taught to use that as part of their training.  This is fact.  Additionally, if your "tier one military guys" are telling you otherwise, then I would be leary.

Take it as you like. That’s on you.

I have knowledge, experience, and training opportunities concerning the shooting of AR pattern rifles over the last 15 years that doesn’t mirror most folks. That includes regularly shooting in armor and kit and training others to do the same - I teach both techniques.

I was merely stating that believing that a high knee prone position is an outdated technique is shortsighted. The high leg didn’t evolve into flat iso. Flat iso has always existed. Look at pictures as far back as WWI,  (maybe even further but I only did a quick google search) you will see soldiers in a flat iso position. 

I have never once said any way was THE way to do anything - shit, I shoot flat iso when out of kit. I shoot flat iso sometimes in kit. My whole point in my statement regarding high knee was there was more than one way to do something. The situation will dictate. Everyone’s frame of reference is different - many people forget that.

I believe I said everyone’s needs and capabilities are different - I just went back and checked - yup, that is in fact what I said.

That statement stands true. Sometimes flat iso is right, sometimes high knee is called for. As such, a high knee shooting position is still taught for a lot of applications and is most certainly not outdated.

Oh, and I don’t need to be leery of anyone I have trained with - their pedigree is unapproachable.

Looking back over the last few responses, out of the two of us, your statements were more towards the “final word” spectrum of the discussion.

Since you’re big on letter of resume, what’s yours? 

Nah, don’t do that. He wants to throw my info out there - whatevs. I can tell you that I am not a huge fan of it - he could have handled that much differently, but still gotten his intended point across - but it is what it is.

I’ve been here for a while and the people here that know me? Well...  they know me.

He doesn’t have to prove himself and I’m not going to throw his info out there - I don’t think I even know him, but I might.

He can take my posts as he likes, just like everyone else here.

The problem is that the last person you want to take any firearms advice from is a cop with few exceptions.  high exposure, I believe, is one of those exceptions.  I've not seen a single instance where I'd disagree with view, opinion or assessment on an outright basis.

 

Imho

      Looks like a pretty good deal for a decent steel target with stand.  Can always replace the target once you shoot it up.  3/8 inch.  Regular price $80, on sale for $49.99 and free Prime shipping.  Shipped and sold by Amazon so if it is crappy quality I am fairly sure they will stand behind it.

      I have my Aimpoint red dot zeroed in perfectly at 25 yards. I finally got the chance to shoot my second rifle outside at 50 yards. Red dot easily seen, but EVERY hole was a few inches above where the red dot was at. I know there must be a technical explanation on this and if I set my red dot below where I want the bullet to go it will go into the bulls eye. Is there a good site I can read on the technical aspects on how all that works? I didn't think a difference of 25 yards would be so great, and I certainly do not nor expect everyone zeroes their red dot all the time if they change distances. Just looking to learn and understand better.

      I've always just hacked something together to shoot at when I felt like shooting. A scrap piece of plywood leaning on a couple of cinder blocks, a paper target stapled to a 2x4 post driven into the dirt, or a target taped to an old 5 gallon bucket worked fine.

      I bought a decent target .22 handgun for my 14 year old daughter to shoot several months ago and finally built a real target to shoot at.

      I'm interested in new ideas to improve my little back yard range and wondered what others here have built for themselves.

      Here's mine. The plywood slides into the frame from the top and can be replaced once it's shot-out. I'm using 1/4" luan but it will take up to 3/4" ply. The gongs are 8", 6", and 4". The spinner is an old one I built years ago that I could stomp into the ground re-purposed.

      Now let's see yours.

    • I hope you are correct but if you have been paying attention to all the lower court decisions from the left wing circuits we are not doing so good and the communists know this.   while we sit back and wait and wait and wait for a favorable 3rd circuit decision on the mag limits and sensitive places the anti-american legislators around the country, even in what was once considered 100% pro gun states are passing laws with contempt for the Bruen decision knowing that they are only playing out the clock until they get a favorable ( activist ) supreme court again.  which can be as early as this november.  I  believe the 3rd circuit will not rule on our cases until after the election and we all know why..
