Post; Rifle Spinning


Hey,
I'm putting together a drill team for this year's Annual Ceremonial Review at our corps. These are our senior cadets, and we're looking to put on a great show with arms.

We don't do rifle spinning as any sort of drill. However, I want to incorporate it in to a few movements because it looks really sharp. So, I'm looking for any tips that anyone has about spinning the rifle faster, controlling it, and doing this without looking nervous or moving more than necessary.

Sorry, I can't help much because I don't do it myself. But, to look for more information, you should search the internet. The American term for this is "Armed exhibition drill". You should probably be able to find some videos or websites with tips.

And of course, the cure for almost any drill problem is practice. With practice, your movements will be more fluid and you will be more confident and less hesitant. Practice is the only way to success!

Good luck!

well here is a tip. Make sure everyone is on.

Dont get nervous about it, you will find it is easy if you arent afraid of the rifle, just do it, and dont be afraid , i have dropped the rifle at practice before (just do the push ups and try again).

Try to have fun with it, but use discipline at the same time

JUST DO IT AND remember the rifle isnt as big as you are so controll it dont let it controll you.

Hope i help

im on the exibition team for my high school

we just played around with our rifles untill we thought of some moves 2 do
just toss them around, do some spins, and try to think of a way to link them all together with marching and other such things, because its not all about the rifles, you have to have some marching and movement or else it doesnt look good
