Bolt action rifle Immediate action

Something I really had not thought about, but makes sense.  Only thing I think he could have expanded on is when an immediate action drill become a remedial action drill.

The four rules

Can't believe I haven't posted these:

RULE I: ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
RULE II: NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY
RULE III: KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
RULE IV: BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHATS BEYOND IT

Iron sight adjustments made easy

As some of you know, I love me some acronyms.....

Front Opposite
Rear Same

So when moving the front sight down, you are actually moving the POI (Point of Impact, where the bullets hit) up. Moving the rear sight to the left moved the POI farther left.
