Training With Green Ops: Part 1
Although AKs aren’t AR-15s, something both rifles have in common is that their sights sit fairly high over their barrels which means that being cognizant of the weapons’ height-over-bore (HOB) is equally as important. For this reason, we spent some time shooting groups between 10, 15, and 25 yards after zeroing to learn where the different holds for height over bore for our rifles lay.

Green Ops Defensive Kalashnikov is a one day class that covers the basics of shooting and manipulating AK rifles.

Part 2
Once we finished the discussion of zeroes and offsets for the Kalashnikov, we moved on to AK-specific weapon manipulations, including engaging and disengaging the safety with both the right and left hands and reloads.

Part 3
One of the beauties of the Kalashnikov is that its design lends itself rather well to dry-fire practice. All the repetitions and manipulations (magazine changes, immediate actions, safety manipulations, etc.) are 1:1, exactly the same as doing them with live ammo on the firing line. This means that students can get a lot of mileage from simply training manipulations in the comfort of their own homes without having to worry about firing any shots.
