GORUCK Bragg Pistol ASI / Night Rifle / Rifle CTR / Rifle CAR / CMS Comp
It would be another weekend of lots of shooting and learning with great people.
PISTOL ASI & NIGHT RIFLE
- Covered fundamentals
- Did dry fire for mag changes, tap rack bangs, and trigger resets
- Slow aim fire from 3m
- Cadence at 3m
- Bill Drill @ 5m continuing with the cadence concept
- Bill Drill game where you keep doing that drill while keeping in the A-zone with a 6s time cap, but each time you make all the hits, you add a round until you fail
- Turn and shoot
- VTAC with pistol for fundamentals emphasis
- Dry then live rifle transitions to pistol
- VTAC with rifle
- VTAC with partner with both weapon systems, trying to avoid lulls in shooting and avoiding flagging
- Shooting and moving with multiple targets and with transition to pistol after the rifle goes dry
- ROAR Drill with increasing numbers of hits on an IPSC followed by a hit on a plate rack plate, twice
- El Pres on big steel with good cadence, though not necessarily on A-zone like the real drill requires
- Stress shoot competition with the 3 positions while staying in contact with a 60#SB the whole time
- Transitions with multiple targets and turn and shoot
- Move stop shoot move, repeat
- Culex with shooting from a barrel with rifle then pistol, reloading and running to the back of the bay to shoot prone with rifle
RIFLE CTR & RIFLE CAR
The range is always so beautiful at sunrise.
- Alt C Prone supported & unsupported qualifier at 25yd with 2 min per style
- Zeroed at 25 (my gun seems to be zeroed at 25, even though it's supposed to be at 36)
- "Chase the Bullet" game with pistol at 3m... did surprisingly well! 10 pushup penalty per catch.
- Slow aim fire with pistol and draw each time at 3m, single-handed and two-handed...
The left went better when I canted the gun inwards!
Staggering the left side of the body forward helped, too
- Multiple target transitions... for some reason, I get messy going to the low right target... maybe I'm not squared up properly?
- Triple Bull Practice
- Repeated the Alt C... I did worse the second time around... more fatigue.
- Triple Bull Practice
- Triple Bull for Real
- El Pres on A-zone cardboard with rifle, 2x
- 3-car bounding away with 2 man and 4 man teams
COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP COMP
This would be a unique event where we got to put skills to the test under pressure... time pressure and physical pressure. We'd be scored on a series of courses of fire, some of which we'd get to use our creativity on when it came to building good positions or using the tools available to us.
Opening Drill
It started with an opening drill that involved some obstacles, a variety of props, and a bit of moving and shooting... longer range and closer stuff.
We did it forwards and backwards. My backwards was much messier, unfortunately... maybe it was the pressure from being watched and needing to live up to how I did going forwards.
ROAR
15yd Starting from a dry rifle this time to practice the transition
El Pres with Pistol
ROAR #2
10yd this time
El Pres with Pistol #2
Everyone was pushing the pace, so I did too, even though it came at the expense of maintaining cadence.
Hogan's Alley
A fun one with a 25yd triangle going 1, 2, 3, etc, until you run out of your 30rds.
Having a wide base with my body helped with the windy day, with recoil, and with turning.
Bill Drill with Rifle at 25yd
We got to repeat this unscored, which was a good opportunity to push the pace.
Tightening the straps and getting low and leaning to absorb recoil helped.
KLE Gone Wrong
Some fun surprises on this one, like shooting a random rifle that you "find" in the car. I did better shooting my pistol at 75yd than I did with the random rifle + ammo combo!
It felt good to come away with the win. The time spent practicing and the experience that I've gained from dealing with pressure at competitions helped.
