Well in today’s environment, the hip shooting won’t fly… PID (positive identification) and all that good stuff.
I believe in align the sights move the trigger… Anything out side of that, is a waste of ammo for me. I have been to a lot of reactive shooting courses, and was told it is the way to go. However, it has proved ineffective for me. Sims force on force, and real deal. In my experience, which is small compared to most. I have realized that the longer you take to pick up your sights, the longer it takes for the threat to fall down. Now I would use it in the safety zone (i.e. six feet and in) But the reaction time vs. the ability to pick up sights is too small. If I had the time to pick up sights at a foot away I would.
As for the forward end grip, like what’s on the RAS. I would use those when available, but I still always mounted it closer to the mag well.
As for long range shooting, I shoot very well tucked in at the mag well.
I use a low prone (rest the mag on the ground)
Kneeling I grab at the mag well, and tuck my support elbow in side of my thigh,
Sitting I use the Indian style (both elbows rested on knees) type shooting position,
And long range standing I use a standard NRA Hi power shooting position.
My main reason for asking, was that I have seen a few videos of SOFD and some other SF guys using a standing position “CQM shooting”. These people were on the move, running, and gunning. Well they were all garbing closer towards the sling swivel, and bladed their body a little more then I do. I was wondering if that might be a steadier type of control for the weapon.
My accuracy is top notch, I am just wondering if I can speed up. By changing my grip and stance???
Again thanks guys for all the awesome info!:)
