This guide details how to escape a front vehicle ambush, drawing on expert instruction from Mike and Angel Cortez of USCCA. It covers critical decisions like prioritizing escape over fighting, using the vehicle as cover (though limited), and specific techniques for shooting through windshields. The strategy emphasizes coordinated movement, cover fire, and securing passengers, all while promoting a 'shoot and move' philosophy to avoid becoming a stationary target.

This video documents a long-range shooting and camping trip, focusing on practical application of shooting techniques. Participants practiced confirming zero, learning to dial turrets for distance, and applying wind holds. The group engaged targets at various ranges, including extended distances with a Barrett M82A1, and discussed the importance of understanding ballistic holds for accuracy.

This video demonstrates a tactical drill in a wooded area, showcasing coordinated movement, target engagement, and reload techniques. The participants, including one named Mike, execute flanking maneuvers and utilize suppressive fire effectively. The drill emphasizes communication and proficient weapon handling under simulated stress, highlighting the use of an AR-15 platform equipped with an EOTech sight and suppressor.

This YouTube video focuses on teaching viewers how to achieve a proper pistol grip, emphasizing techniques that are understandable and easy for anyone to implement, even those with smaller hands. Instructor Mike guides the audience through the basics of pistol handling to improve their overall knowledge and proficiency.

This episode of Mike'd Up features CMMG's Mike and Johnny B discussing various aspects of the firearms industry and community. They delve into the importance of preparedness, the versatility of firearms like the 12-gauge shotgun, and the nuances of firearms safety and training.

This guide details the 36-yard zero technique for an LPVO on a Daniel Defense DDM4 V7 rifle, as demonstrated by Trey Sprinkle and Mike from Aeolus Defense. This method, popularized by Shawn Ryan, aims for consistent point-of-aim/point-of-impact from 0 to 300 yards with 5.56x45mm 62-grain ammunition. The video provides specific impact data at 50, 100, 200, and 300 yards, highlighting its effectiveness for 'point and shoot' scenarios up to 300 yards, while noting limitations at 400 yards.

This guide details a winter EDC concealed carry draw technique as demonstrated by Mike from FieldCraft Survival. It emphasizes using a vest over a tucked shirt for immediate weapon access and discusses progressive readiness cues. The technique involves sweeping the vest, drawing the Glock 43, engaging, scanning, and re-holstering, highlighting the importance of movement and cognitive decision-making in self-defense scenarios.

This video from FieldCraft Survival, led by Mike, breaks down the critical technique of 'riding the reset' for improved trigger control and faster, more accurate shooting. It emphasizes understanding the trigger's slack and reset point, using an airsoft gun for practice, and building muscle memory through repetition. The instructor contrasts this with 'slapping' the trigger, demonstrating how proper manipulation enhances rhythm and consistency in rapid fire scenarios.

This drill, demonstrated by Mike from Wilson Combat, focuses on the critical skill of transitioning from an empty carbine or rifle to a handgun. It emphasizes starting with a single round in the carbine, firing it, and then immediately drawing and firing the handgun. The drill also incorporates a 'finish the fight' scan and a methodical reload/malfunction clearance of the primary long gun before resetting for the next repetition. It's designed to build muscle memory for a common tactical scenario.

This guide details a technical, mechanical approach to gripping a pistol for everyday carry (EDC), drawing from various tactical training methodologies. It emphasizes a specific two-handed grip technique focusing on 'pinning the frame' to manage recoil and improve control. The method breaks down the grip into numbered steps for both the strong and weak hands, using analogies like a hammer grip to explain the importance of fine motor control for trigger manipulation.
