Title: Full Distance Rapid Fire AQT
Post by: Engineer shooting on February 11, 2016, 01:30:38 PM
Ramseur, NC Riflemans Boot Camp March 13-18, 2016

Ever shoot a Full Distance Rapid Fire AQT? You can at the Ramseur, NC Riflemans Boot Camp March 13-18, 2016! Want to get a new rocker on that slick sleeved shooting jacket? Four minutes is all it takes. Amazing, what people will do for a little piece of cloth - but we know it's quite a bit more than that.

Not to mention all the other benefits of attending a Boot Camp at the home range.

so...to clarify...after all the grief I received, from the folks at the top, about the infernoseed patch, the folks at the top are now issuing a patch for a rapid fire rocker.
Do I read that right?
Is Appleseed a patch collecting organization now?

No Smoak, sorry I wasn't clear, you could earn the standard patch in Four Minutes (depending on your marksmanship).

We could add 3 minutes for transit time, 100 to 400 yards, a brisk march. 4 minutes for the AQT we could make a 7 minute Isaac Davis Memorial Range KD patch  ..:.., I'm sure that would push everyone over the edge!   ;D

Or one could simply shoot a KD AQT with the requisite times. Shooting faster seldom makes anyone shoot better.

That said, I have run Rapid Fire AQT's when I thought one would help the students. It worked occasionally.

I have a time er two, pondered the idear of using steel Ds at 200 ,300, and 400, with paper at 100 for best safety. One shooter at a time, with a spotter for the steel.

I could not make score at my first event in 2007 until JB ran a RFAQT and back then, it was with two 20 round mags and loaded transitions. I was so annoyed at myself for my failure to make score - the RFAQT was just what I needed. Scored 216 with a .30. To this day I am not capable of shot fussing and grouping well. Rifleman's cadence all the way through.

I am not a fan of more than one RFAQT at weekend events, but it did work for me.

It was the tool that you needed.  One of the first events that I shoot bossed had one adult who was shooting well but just couldn't put four good stages together. All of the other two day adults had shot rifleman. The last aqt of the day was run as a rapid fire. It kept him busy and kept his conscious mind out of the process. That did it for him.

My first rifleman score was on an aqt where I had multiple failures to feed. I was so busy working the rifle that I didn't have time to think about score. It always works out better that way.

If a shooter is decisive, dressing up a shot is not a problem. If he is not decisive it becomes a problem. But the problem is not that he is adjusting the rifle, it is that he is indecisive. Commit to the shot.
