[QUOTE="dwkennedy, post: 837045, member: 1717"] I had a S&W 5.45 rifle too. I ditched it after the first day. Started out great, but was stovepiping frequently by the end of day 1. At least that was the day we were doing malfunction drills, I had plenty of real malfunctions to practice on. One day 2 the 5.56 rifle had not one problem. Mike and Chris thought I needed a longer rail for my longer arms, the only longer one I have was an M5 RAS. I ran a rifle upper on a carbine lower, which did feel better. I do need to build some bigger arms to hold the dot steadier on the target. Speaking of arms, I don't think Mike even needs a rifle. He could probably push the bullets in with his thumb and get the same effect. This was my first introduction to "dynamic" shooting. I have always been more of a target shooter, my only formal training was on three position rimfire rifle. Recoil control and follow-up shots are not a big factor on single shot rim fire. The shooting position they taught was effective in controlling recoil. I was immediately able to increase my cadence of fire and still hit targets. The head position is much lower on the stock than a "traditional" target shooting position, so I was having trouble scrunching my face down onto the stock. Chris recommended that I get an EoTech riser (I always wondered why people needed those!) I kept drifting back to a more bladed, stock high on shoulder stance. I will have to work on snapping in the new stance. It sure is a pleasure training with instructors at the top of their game. I look forward to taking pistol or carbine 2 someday. I have plenty of homework to do in the mean time :) [/QUOTE]
