It has been a minute since my last post, (work, work, work) but I wanted to touch on something that I mentioned before. Let’s talk sight radius as it relates to sight alignment error. here is a chart I did a few years ago that may help explain this sight radius and how it can affect accuracy. Hope that helps.

One of the interesting things…

Thus far we have talked about the two fundamentals required to produce one single good shot.

Next, we will discuss the other fundamentals, all of which help us to repeat good shots and eventually get us to multiple rapid fire strings of shots, like double taps and anti-body armor engagements.

Before I go further, let me explain my reasons behind…

We are discussing the two fundamentals required to make one good shot. I have explained my reasons behind (Feeding the Baby) the muscle memory trigger control. So now let’s focus on sight alignment.

Let me jump in here and say, I live totally off grid in Northern Arizona. So on days like today (very heavy clouds) I don’t make much power. My wind turbine does a great job, but I try not to use too much unnecessary power from the batteries. So instead of firing up the computer, I type on my phone. I say this so that if you read a bunch…

When I started competitive shooting as a “pick-up shooter” with the Army Shooting Team in 1987 I was given a paperback booklet about 100 pages thick that looked like it was printed on an industrial copy machine. It had a cover of blue heavy card stock and had heavy staples as binding.

The book contained everything from assembly / disassembly…

Position – stance, skeletal support

Grip, both firing and support hands

Sight Alignment – Sight Picture (natural point of aim)

All fundamental classes focus on these or some variation of these.

That can be a lot to…

I’m new to this site. My wife and I live Northern Arizona on a mountaintop Northwest of Seligman. My home built AR10 is my “Go to” firearms up here. The wife enjoys it too. Good to be here.

But, I have to admit, my favorite guns belong to my wife.
