What is “Compressed-Ready”?
The Compressed-Ready position is a stance in firearms training where you hold the firearm close to your chest, with the muzzle pointed forward and your elbows bent. This position allows you to engage a threat while quickly controlling the firearm.
It is excellent for training drills as it allows for quick target acquisition and rapid extension of the firearm to a firing position. Additionally, it improves retention by keeping the firearm close, thus allowing for increased repetitions during the drill.
