This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb, explores the optimal zero distances for an AR-15, primarily for competition use. It analyzes four common zero distances: 25, 36, 50, and 100 yards, detailing their impact zones on an IPSC A-zone target at various ranges. The instructor emphasizes that the 'best' zero is dependent on the intended use of the firearm and the optic employed, recommending the 100-yard zero as a versatile option for experienced shooters, while suggesting 36 or 50 yards for those using red dots or LPVOs respectively, especially for closer engagements.

This video details a challenging 300-meter pistol shooting competition, showcasing advanced marksmanship techniques. Instruction from Harold Cabunoc, who demonstrates a high level of expertise in long-range handgun ballistics and ammunition handloading, highlights the critical factors for success at extreme distances. The competition emphasizes precision, specialized ammunition, and a competitive spirit among Philippine Army personnel.

This video details a dynamic shooting exercise conducted from the back of a minivan, incorporating multiple firearms and shooting positions.

This video provides a breakdown of four distinct pistol drills designed to enhance a shooter's proficiency and readiness. The instructor emphasizes using these drills as tools to establish baselines, measure progress, and maintain a challenging training regimen. Drills like the 'One Shot from the Draw,' 'Centurion Drill,' 'O Crap Drill,' 'Situational Readiness Drill,' and '5x5 Drill' focus on accuracy, speed, and critical skills such as reloads under pressure, all scored using the Hit Factor method.

This video details Stage 1 of the Lynx Brutality 2024 competition, 'Electric Shock'. The stage involves engaging multiple targets from a barricade with specific shooting ports, followed by carrying a weighted duffel bag through an obstacle course featuring electric fencing. The speaker highlights the physical demands and the importance of adapting to challenging shooting positions, particularly low barricades for pistol engagement. Despite technical issues with the fencing, the stage tested fundamental shooting skills under physical stress.

This video, titled "THE PRO CARD," details a specific shooting drill from the "MAN CARD Drill Series." The drill focuses on accuracy and speed at 25 yards using either C-zone steel or the C-zone of an IPSC target. It involves timed sequences of pistol shots from compressed ready and holster, followed by rifle shots from low and high ready positions. A key element is the rifle-to-pistol transition, utilizing an empty rifle magazine to facilitate the setup. The drill emphasizes precision, with any shots outside the C-zone or over par time resulting in failure. It's noted as a drill typically performed by cold shooters, with limited attempts allowed.

This video demonstrates the Bill Drill, a practical shooting exercise focused on drawing from concealment and accurate rapid fire. The instructor emphasizes a par time of under four seconds for six shots at seven yards, highlighting the importance of both speed and accuracy. The drill is presented as a valuable tool for concealed carriers to maintain proficiency.

This video details the 'Man Card Drill,' a challenging 'performance on demand' standard designed for both rifle and pistol proficiency. Conducted 'cold' (unloaded firearm until the drill starts), it emphasizes sound fundamentals under pressure. The drill involves a series of shots from various positions, including compressed and holster starts for pistol, and different ready positions for the rifle, with specific par times for each stage. It also incorporates transitions from rifle to pistol and magazine reloads, including a tac-reload. Success requires hitting the C-zone of a target (steel or IPSC) within the given time limits. The drill aims to expose weaknesses in a shooter's training and encourage fundamental efficiency.

Daniel Richardson of Richardson Precision & Training introduces the 'Draw for Two Drill,' designed to help shooters of all levels improve throttle control. The drill involves drawing a firearm and firing one round at an abbreviated A-zone target within a two-second par time, emphasizing a flat presentation and maintaining accuracy.

This video demonstrates the 'Step Back Drill,' a challenging marksmanship exercise designed to test accuracy at increasing distances. The drill involves engaging a target and then stepping back further after each successful hit, emphasizing fundamental shooting techniques like front sight focus and controlled trigger press. The instructor highlights the importance of these fundamentals, especially when shooting smaller targets or at longer ranges, and notes how pressure can lead to rushed shots.

This video introduces the 'Date Night Drill' or 'Get Your Kid Out Of A Bad Situation Drill,' designed to practice essential firearm skills in a simulated scenario. The drill involves engaging an IPSC target near a vehicle and a steel target further away, incorporating techniques like slow draws, shooting from a vehicle, safe re-holstering under pressure, one-handed shooting while carrying weight, and safe movement with a pistol. The creator emphasizes the value of practicing these diverse skills and encourages viewers to try the drill and share their experiences. The video also details the specific gear used, including a T-shirt, pants, and targets.
