Rifle Rifle Quick Kill - US Army TT and accurate method of fire called Rifle Quick Kill, and Basic Rifle Marksmanship. In just minutes, soldiers were taught to use Rifle Quick Kill to hit small aerial targets with BB guns. . that they can effectively engage any target -- regardless of range -- without using the sights .

The Infantry School published it's own Quick Kill manual, for those looking to add something else to a collection. I'm pretty sure it was dated in , and I recall it having the blue pulpy paper cover and stapled assembly of nearly all other special texts of the time. I heard through the grape vine quick kill was a significant part of the Infantry instruction at Fort Polk for a while, but it didn't last long. I those days Polk was a young private's first step to Viet Nam.
The Army had other plans for me, so I went to other stations for training. I didn't learn quick kill until I was sent to school at Benning. It was just an orientation course with BB guns, although I did later get to try it with an M16 in Florida. I think by then quick kill was already starting to fall out of favor.

All times are GMT Shifting from a missed target to another is a means of assisting him in gaining skill in the "Rifle Quick Kill" method. He should shoulder the weapon in one smooth fluid movement, and fire as soon as it is in position. He should not hesitate to fire. If he waits, he is apt to aim or attempt to draw a comparison between the target and the muzzle.
On the other hand, he should not hurry his shot. Haste makes for erratic shooting. As in aerial shooting, the instructor should be positive and encouraging so that the soldier's confidence and enthusiasm stay at a high pitch. A inch circle should be marked in the center of the lower third of the silhouette. It is the "looking" point for the soldier. Up until now, the soldier has confined his firing to an air rifle. That in a phrase, is Rifle Quick Kill.
The effective Rifle Quick Kill shooter does not consciously align his barrel when acquiring a target, but it will be in his peripheral vision. The relationship is similar to that of a driver of a car who while looking ahead maintains his position on the road via the hood of the car appearing in his peripheral vision. Also, with the air rifle, there were no sights protruding above the air rifle barrel to distract his eyes.
However, the prominent sights of the M14 may distract his eyes away from the target, and also block the top of the barrel from his peripheral vision. As a result, he may not be able to visually relate to the weapon as well as before. And maintaining that relationship is key for firing effectively. To assist in the transition, the sights should be taped, and a piece of tubing or dowel added between the sights and also secured with tape. Its placement should insure that the top will be visually apparent to give the illusion of the straight line plane of the barrel of the air rifle.
After firing 5 rounds, he and the instructor should examine the target.
The soldier may be grouping well; but, if his strikes are to either side of the target, they will be off the target at an extended range. If he is vertically centered, he should be able to extend his effective range without difficulty.

If the strikes are to the right or left side of the target, the instructor should take into consideration the soldier's MASTER EYE and the position of his head against the stock. Following any needed correction, the soldier should shoot another 5 rounds at 15 meters. He and the instructor then examine the target. Finally, the soldier moves back to 50 meters which is the ultimate extent of range in Rifle Quick Kill training during the Basic Rifle Marksmanship Program. The soldier fires 10 rounds. After successful firing, the piece of tubing or dowel is discarded, and he is taken back through the 3 ranges just fired, and engages the target with the same number of rounds.
That will insure that he recognizes the training rib is no longer necessary. Both front and rear sights continue to be taped throughout the exercise. And the procedure is identical to that conducted during the day. Also, the sights should continue to be taped. Night firing should be conducted only to the limit of visibility as one can not hit a target he cannot see, except by luck.
To dispel such notions a brief demonstration should be presented by an instructor or member of the Rifle Quick Kill demonstration team, using his sights, and engaging an E-type silhouette from the prone position and at a range of - meters.
The purpose is to establish that during the Rifle Quick Kill instruction, the soldiers were taught a fast, effective, unaimed method of fire necessary to engage fleeting or surprise close range targets. They now will be learning the sighting method, which as shown by the demonstrator's tight group at an extended range, is quite different from, but compatible with the Rifle Quick Kill Method. Because your focus is sharper, your depth perception is more acute and your alignment is truer.
First, your eyes are higher than the barrel.

If your eyes are riveted on the top of the target, your line of fire will be toward the center of the target and not below it. Second, you need to learn how to focus on a point. If you look at the whole but small target, you will shoot all around it, but if you concentrate on the TOP EDGE your shot will be on target. Eventually, as you become more proficient, you will be able to look at any spot on the target and hit it. This is why experienced "Rifle Quick Kill" shooters are able to shoot the paper center out of a washer.
Because it is you leading hand and it takes the weapon to the target, just as when you point at an object you extend your pointing arm in order to reduce the margin of error. Because you are getting your head down too far on the barrel and having to drop the weapon out of the way so that you can see the target, or you are looking at the whole target instead of the TOP EDGE.
You can, but only by pointing the weapon over the top of the target or looking too far over the top of the target. There is no way to shoot over it because to do so, you would have to blot out the target with your barrel. The apparent difficulty in hitting small targets is primary psychological. It might not make too much difference with an air rifle except that your balance is better. If you try shooting a service weapon off-balance and leaning backward, you may be knocked down.

Simplicity is the key to "Rifle Quick Kill" fire. It is spontaneous and reactive. It is not thought out, calculated or calibrated such as with artillery fire. In "Rifle Quick Kill" your eyes work as built-in firing solution computers. That is why Rifle Quick Kill is so fast and targets can be effectively engaged so quickly. Because haste makes waste. If you jump at your target, you get off a jerky inaccurate shot. To be an effective and skillful "Rifle Quick Kill" shooter, you must develop a smooth flowing rhythm in mounting the weapon and getting off a shot.
There are two reasons for this.

First, it is a natural inclination to shoot over ground targets because of a tendency to overestimate distances and an urge to draw a comparison between the gun barrel and the target. By looking at the lower portion of the target and dropping the weapon down out of the line of sight, you are able to hit the target near the center of mass.
Second, if you do miss, you still may engage the target with the ricochet. If you fire over the target's head, you will not only miss, you also will have no visible means of correction. You won't be able to tell by how much you went over. If you miss a ground target and see the strike of the bullet, you are inclined to do one of two things, either start to bracket the target, or shoot right back where you saw the erring bullet strike because your eyes are attracted to that point.
You need to wipe that visual picture out of you mind. And you do this by going to another target. Then you can return to the missed target. How can I transfer this new found knowledge and ability to a service weapon with the protruding sights and when my range is many meters, not a matter of a few feet. First, you won't be shooting your service weapon at aerial targets. You were taught to do that to dramatically illustrate how much better you can shoot that than you thought you could.
In addition, you learned how to hit moving targets. With ground targets, you fire on them exactly as you have done with the air rifle. You fasten your eyes on the intended point of impact the orange spot which has been painted in the lower center of the silhouette , bring your weapon to your shoulder, and LOOKING over the sights, pull the trigger.
You will hit; and, with practice, you will be deadly at ranges up to meters and more. At distant ranges, and when you have plenty of time, use your sights.
