How to control a BAR in a shooting range


Familiarizing yourself with the Browning Automatic Rifle, commonly known as a BAR, is crucial before handling it at a shooting range. This iconic firearm, known for its power and precision, has a unique recoil system that requires careful management for effective use.

Essential safety measures


Safety is paramount. Before firing a BAR, ensuring protective gear such as ear protection and safety glasses is crucial. Understanding the range’s rules and following all safety protocols rigorously ensures a safe environment for everyone. At professional shooting ranges like ours, expert supervision guarantees both safety and confidence.

Techniques for effective handling

Controlling a BAR’s recoil is essential for accuracy. This can be achieved by adopting the correct shooting posture, which involves positioning your feet shoulder-width apart and maintaining a firm grip on the firearm. This preparation is crucial for minimizing kickback and enhancing shooting precision—especially when firing alongside other powerful weapons such as the M60 or the Remington 700.

Aiming and accuracy


A key aspect of controlling a BAR is mastering its aim. Utilizing the iron sights or opting for advanced scopes can significantly improve target accuracy. Practicing these techniques regularly can boost confidence and consistency in handling this weapon effectively. Understanding the BAR’s speed and cadence also plays a vital role in shooting precision.

Maintenance and care of the BAR

Proper maintenance is vital for its longevity and reliability. Regular cleaning, lubrication, and inspections ensure that the firearm operates smoothly and safely. Familiarity with its history and uses in the army or its importance in WWII can deepen your respect for the weapon while encouraging proper care.

Enhance your experience


Taking your shooting skills to the next level is a rewarding journey. Enrolling in professional training courses offered at reputable shooting ranges can vastly improve your skills. The BAR, while powerful, can also be a good choice for amateurs when introduced in the right setting.
