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.

This combat shooting drill, 'Standing Kneeling Prone,' emphasizes transitioning between shooting positions while maintaining situational awareness. It requires 10 rounds total, with two shots fired from standing, kneeling, and prone positions, followed by a return to kneeling and then standing for the final shots. The drill stresses accuracy in the high A-zone and the critical importance of checking your surroundings before repositioning.

This video provides beginner training on defensive shotgun techniques, covering proper loading procedures for the magazine tube and chamber, recoil management methods (pull-pull and push-pull), and transitioning between low and high ready positions. It emphasizes deliberate action, safety checks like the press check, and addresses common mistakes such as 'stabbing' shells into the loading port or short-stroking the action. The instruction is delivered by experienced firearms instructors Kevin Estella and Eric Gellhouse.

This drill, the 'One Shot Exit Drill,' focuses on precise single shots followed by immediate movement to a new position. It emphasizes efficient target acquisition, recoil management, and visual transition.

The drill progresses from one shot to two shots for application in multiple-shot scenarios.

Rick Crawley, a law enforcement veteran, introduces the 'Man Card Drill,' a rigorous performance standard designed to test shooting proficiency under pressure. The drill involves timed pistol draws from compressed ready (1s) and holster (1.5s), rifle presentations from low and high ready (1s each), and a rifle-to-pistol transition (2.5s). Many participants struggle to meet these demanding par times, highlighting the importance of consistent, high-level performance on demand. The drill emphasizes that passing is about demonstrating capability, not just general shooting ability.

This video, presented by an NRA Instructor, details essential firearm ready positions for defensive scenarios. It emphasizes the importance of dry fire practice to develop muscle memory and safety. Key positions covered include High Ready, High Compressed, Low Ready, Low Compressed, Normal Compressed, and the Sool position, explaining their applications in various situations from home defense to close-quarters combat.

Rick Crawley, founder of Achilles Heel Tactical, details the 'Man Card Drill,' a challenging assessment designed to test practical pistol and rifle skills under pressure. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and fundamental execution from various ready positions and includes a rifle-to-pistol transition. It's presented as a critical standard for law enforcement and a benchmark for serious shooters, with specific par times for each stage.

This video demonstrates the 'UP Drill' for night shooting, emphasizing the use of an aiming laser during firearm presentation. The drill involves bringing the weapon up, acquiring the target with the laser, and executing precise shots, including double taps. Proper trigger control and follow-through are highlighted as crucial elements for effective engagement.
