We all love the John Wick movies, so dont act likeyou havent tried this at least once.
I bet some of you as youre reading this just gasped and felt your ego take a hit.
Dont be offended, just hear me out.
With our pistol, we call this our draw.
Some of us practice this for a few minutes everyday just to confirm we are not getting sloppy.
Just remember to always practice the firearm safety rules.
Rifle Options
So, what is the draw for your rifle?
Most of us call it a ready-up.
With our pistol, a draw is pretty standard for the most part.
There are numerous styles of ready ups for your carbine that have even been broken down into subcategories.
In this article and the video above, we talk about the big three.
If it’s possible for you to master these, you should do well.
On all of these positions, the rifle remains on safe until you are aimed and ready to fire.
Low Ready
More than likely you already have seen this ready-up.
The low ready is the most important position for you to master.
Over the Shoulder (Retention)
People hold and fire their pistols from retention all the time.
Well, your rifle is no different.
you’re able to hold your rifle in retention in a couple of ways, actually.
One being with the buttstock tucked under your shoulder and the muzzle out.
We prefer the over-the-shoulder method.
If you have an optic on your carbine, that optic should end up right under your chin.
Thats how you know youre doing it right.
you could use tricks called indexing to make you faster at this.
Again, if youre in tight areas, this is invaluable.
Muzzle Up
The last one is the muzzle up ready position.
This one is best for not flagging anyone in front of you with your rifle.
The scenario where this ready up position is ideal is a team of people clearing a hallway or room.
you’re free to shoulder your rifle, make the shot and back up your buddys life.
The same goes for your family.
We dont want to flag our spouse or our kids even in the legs or feet.
When presenting onto target, the same stuff applies.
This one will take some practice to get good at being on target with the sights quickly.
You dont even need ammo to practice this, you just need your rifle and a sling.
