AR Shooting Tip: Trigger Control - NSSF Shooting Sportscast

[tisiluca]

You won't hit anything past 300m using this technique, unless you're lucky !!!!!!!!!

And luck is not what you need when you shoot for 1000m !!!

@tisiluca

take into consideration that this is obviously geared towards beginners and then ask yourself how many beginners are working on 1k yard shots...probably not many.

@rcalvert3-- "take into consideration that this is obviously geared towards beginners"

(i don't want to be an ass, but..) beginners should be taught the correct foundation, and then build on it !! if one is taught the wrong way, they will practice doing the wrong way for a lifetime !!

@tisiluca i guess your a better shooter than Jerry Miculek huh??

[tisiluca]

@crfwhiplash433

I might be !! I don't think Jerry Miculek is God, do you !!! All humans can benefit from knowledge, I and Jerry Miculek included !!

@tisiluca What technique is superior?

[tisiluca]

@silvermediastudio

Ah haaaa !!! Its apparent that i have a secret that not many know !! I will not spill the beans !!! Especially on a public forum(enemies are among us). There is a superior technique for trigger control than, smooth, steady squeeze, that applies to ALL firearms. If you'all want to know, research and find it !!!

@silvermediastudio

I have a friend who is a cellist. He is so good, he can make a cheap, chinese plastic cello sound like a stradivarius !

Anyone can have "good trigger control" on a designer expensive firearm!! practice on a rusted copy of an sks and then your abilities will improve !!

[marktse]

@tisiluca see i beg to differ. If your crappy sks can only shoot 5 moa and you are doing a rapid fire on a 5 inch plate at 100 the only way to get all of them on target is to be perfectly still which you can only tell based on percentages of hits and misses. With a really high end gun you can really measure your ability.

[marktse]

@tisiluca For example do you have a concert level ear to guage your friends cello playing? I used to be a violinist. My cheap violin never sounded like a strad but i could tell because I've played on a stradivarius and hear the difference even if you can't. I shoot with match grade bullets and try to get my shots in the dime. That sks will never do that. You might get better but you can get a lot worse too because you have no measurement to reinforce you're doing the right things.

[marktse]

@tisiluca how did you put your finger on the trigger at 1000? I what did he say that was wrong? It goes with almost what everyone says about shooting ars.

Another good practice technique is to place a dime on the barrel behind the front sight and dry-fire w/o dropping the dime. It's hard, but can be done with practice. Whenever I ran a range in the Army for M-16 I'd have this at a concurrent training station, and sometimes keep guys there for awhile until they could do it successfully. Cuts down on wasted bullets!

@combatjm89 I actually use that training aide on my student athletes on our Air riflery team...thanks to our U.S. Army training/D.I.'s that I went through long ago.
