VTAC Rifle El Prez Drill

The El Prez has been shot with pistol for years. Here, we simply replace the pistol with the rifle. Conducted from 10 yards, the drill requires 12x rounds (6 in each mag) and 3x targets (I typically use IPSC targets). A Pro Timer is obviously a big help here as well.

We concentrate on quickly getting the gun on target, acquiring a good sight picture for every shot (which means continually driving the gun back to the center of the target), and executing a quick, fluid slide lock reload. This is a great "next step up" from the 2x2x2 drill.

As always, I recommend watching this one in HD if you've got the bandwidth. Click on the "HD" logo down in the lower right corner of the video toolbar.

what type of ammo do you use for steel targets/regular targets, for ar15?

[VikingTactics]

@Seal420123 I use 55 grain ball or 62 grain ball. When I shoot steel I use frangible unless I am more than 50 yards away then I use ball as well.

Also check out ASYM ammo, from Legacy Custom, Stan Chen, they make great practice ammo as well as a Barnes X bullet load for duty.

I would try this but AK's don't lock back. Other then counting rounds which isn't practical for real life, what suggestions do you have for this drill?

[VikingTactics]

@dogabutila I recommend using the AK with only 6 rounds, shoot it dry so the bolt goes forward, you get a click, reload, rack a round in the chamber and finish. Hope this makes sense.

hey kyle any specific reason for not doing a chamber check on the reload?

[VikingTactics]

@fatdan172501 We try to do things as we would in the dark. Also you should know what it feels like to shoot dry.

@joffeloff

Actually, we practice what we preach which is the bladed stance with the rifle. Several reasons for this. We want shooters in a Fighter's Stance with the Rifle; fighters dont stand square. Secondly, I hate to rely on the shooting ability of the terrorist to hit my plate, I prefer to take responsibility for the outcome. I want to shoot faster and more accurately than the threat, you will never shoot as fast from a square stance.

Was this shot next to a peacock farm or something? I swear I was hearing peacocks.

@VikingTactics Makes good sense. Get used to that automatic reload when the trigger goes click and the bolt went all the way forwards.

Thanks much.
