This drill, demonstrated by Ben Stoeger, focuses on improving target acquisition and shooting while moving by using vision barriers (barrels) to obscure targets. The core principle is to visually hunt for targets and react to their appearance, rather than fixating on the sight. Maintaining consistent shooting mechanics and avoiding over-confirmation of the sight picture are key to success.

This video contrasts two shooting runs, highlighting the trade-off between accuracy and speed when moving. While stopping for higher accuracy is beneficial for competition, real-world scenarios demand continuous movement to maintain progress, acquire angles, and work with teammates. The speaker emphasizes the need to keep moving and avoid impeding progress, even when dealing with threats or navigating tactical spaces like the 'fatal funnel'.

This drill, adapted from the pistol El Prez, tests a shooter's ability to rapidly switch rifle shoulders for engagement, simulating breaking cover in CQB scenarios. It emphasizes muscle memory for smooth transitions under time and accuracy constraints, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This video demonstrates the high ready rifle presentation technique, emphasizing its speed and muzzle awareness compared to low ready. The instructor highlights the importance of tucking the stock under the shoulder, presenting the rifle by 'punching' it forward, and snapping it back into the shoulder with positive tension for recoil management. It's noted that this position requires a different manipulation than low ready and is beneficial for maintaining muzzle discipline, though its use has decreased in some tactical circles.

This drill, demonstrated by a Green Beret, focuses on dynamic target engagement and movement. Key elements include identifying threats from various directions, adapting shooting platforms based on foot position without adjustment, and incorporating varied engagement rhythms. Crucially, it emphasizes maintaining strict muzzle awareness and safety protocols when operating near a partner.

This video demonstrates a 'Turning Drill' often used in military firearms training, specifically by Green Berets. The drill emphasizes efficient movement and target engagement based on the direction of turn. A key takeaway is the importance of performing a tactical or slide-lock reload to ensure the firearm is ready for immediate follow-up actions, reinforcing the habit of ending a drill with a full magazine.

This video contrasts static shooting accuracy with the necessity of moving and shooting in real-world scenarios. It emphasizes that while stopping for higher accuracy is beneficial for competition, tactical situations demand continuous movement to maintain progress, acquire angles, and avoid fatal funnels, especially when working with teammates.

This video demonstrates a dynamic shooting drill focused on developing a stable, aggressive stance and effective movement. The instructor emphasizes maintaining a wide base with bent knees, separating upper body shooting actions from lower body locomotion, and returning to a ready stance after movement. The drill aims to ingrain positive habits for shooting while moving, highlighting that even subtle body shifts can be beneficial.

This video demonstrates the Special Forces Check Drill, a critical training exercise for maintaining offensive capability when a rifle runs dry. It involves firing two rounds, transitioning to a pistol for one shot, assessing the rifle, and then performing a tactical reload to continue engaging the target. The drill emphasizes speed and efficiency in weapon manipulation under stress.

This video emphasizes the importance of 'greedy eyes' in dynamic shooting. The instructor advises against bringing the firearm down between shots, advocating for continuous visual acquisition and driving vision through the intended target area. The goal is to maintain a consistent shooting platform and flow through multiple positions without unnecessary gun manipulation.

This video explores the effectiveness of using a treadmill for dry-fire training to improve shooting on the move. Instructor Lena Miculek demonstrates how 20 minutes of consistent motion on a treadmill can increase awareness of footwork, sight bounce, and trigger timing, leading to measurable improvements in accuracy and speed on a subsequent shooting drill. The technique emphasizes developing a feel for body mechanics during movement.

This drill, demonstrated by Ben Stoeger, focuses on integrating movement into shooting by using vision barriers to create target acquisition challenges. The core principle is to maintain shooting proficiency while moving, emphasizing visual acquisition of the target and a brief sight confirmation rather than fixating on the sight itself. The drill aims to make shooting while moving feel indistinguishable from static shooting.
