Oh I get it. Sorry for taking it that way. I was unlucky enough to learn 'cqb' or whatever the popular phrase is now on an m16 with a 203 and acog. I STRONGLY believe that's why I can be consistent across the board with optics. Once you clear structures with that, literally anything is easy.Yeah guys like us are a dime a dozen…
What I mean is IF we really get into the numbers patters emerge….small as they may be. If we are a true slave to data.
Spent too long in the game to see people who think feelings are data and poor metrics are valid.
Not saying that’s the case or not. Just why I’m a general cynic and curious as to what the numbers were.
As for patterns, some days, I simply did better with certain optics. Some days didn't matter. But what ALWAYS mattered was the set up leading to the engagment-
Was my angle of approach the best it could be
Was my footwork correct to break the threshold efficiently
Was I able to time my body mechanics to be as smooth as possible without adding extra steps
Was I able to time my movements off the guy in front of me correctly.
The majority of the time I found outliers in the footage we've taken was from one of the above variables. Every once in awhile the optic/rifle combo just jived or didn't with me that day. Some days we are just off.
