Videos tagged with Low Ready

This video details a combat rifle reload drill designed to test a shooter's ability to quickly and efficiently replace an empty magazine under pressure. The drill emphasizes building muscle memory for gear placement and performing the reload from various ready positions, culminating in re-acquiring the target for a follow-up shot within a strict time limit.

This video details the 'low ready' rifle drill, emphasizing its foundational role in building muscle memory for all rifle shooting positions. The drill involves starting from a low ready stance, presenting the rifle, manipulating the safety, acquiring sights, and firing a single shot within a strict time limit (1 second). It highlights the importance of understanding sight offset for accurate shooting, especially at close ranges on small targets.

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.

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.

This guide details a faster weapon presentation technique taught by DJ Shipley of GBRS Group. It emphasizes moving from a true low ready and disengaging the safety as the weapon levels, integrating it into a single fluid motion for increased efficiency. This method is contrasted with slower, multi-step approaches, highlighting its application in real-world scenarios requiring rapid response.

This guide details a technique for automating safety manipulation during firearm presentation, drawing from the expertise of DJ Shipley from GBRS Group. It emphasizes integrating safety engagement and disengagement into the muscle memory of presenting a rifle, crucial for avoiding common errors like forgetting to disengage the safety during drills. The instruction highlights maintaining thumb tension for consistent manipulation.

This video demonstrates a rapid first-shot drill using a Benelli M4 shotgun and an SG Timer. Tara Tactical, an experienced shooter, achieves a sub-second first shot (0.74s) from a low-ready position, highlighting effective recoil control and tactical readiness. The drill emphasizes speed and accuracy from a common starting position.

This video details the FBI Pistol Qualification Course, presented by GBRS Group instructors. It breaks down each stage, from 3 to 25 yards, outlining specific drills, par times, and accuracy requirements. The instructors emphasize practical application, speed, and confidence-building, offering insights from their extensive tactical and special operations experience. The course is presented as a valuable benchmark for any shooter to assess their current skill level.

This video demonstrates a timed challenge comparing the speed of deploying rounds from a semi-automatic rifle (Sig Sauer M400 in 5.56) versus a semi-automatic shotgun (Beretta 1301 Tactical in 12 gauge). The focus is on the shooter's ability to fire all rounds as quickly as possible, starting from a low-ready position. The instructor highlights the impact of recoil and ammunition velocity on shooting speed, noting that faster shotgun loads can increase recoil and potentially affect reliability.

This video provides instruction on mastering the 'indexing from transition' skill, crucial for multi-target engagements. It emphasizes smooth, precise gun movement, with the aiming reference stopping exactly on the point of aim. The instructor highlights common mistakes like using too much force and following the dot, advocating for eyes to lead the gun movement.
