This video explores three common rifle buttstock placements and their tactical applications. The instructor, Miles from Tactical Hyve, details how placing the stock deep in the shoulder pocket maximizes recoil management for long-range precision, while a higher placement near the collarbone offers a more natural posture for dynamic CQB. A third technique, centering the stock under the chin, provides a stable platform to minimize lateral muzzle movement for speed and accuracy.

This guide details two primary methods for rifle buttstock placement in the shoulder: high and low. High placement utilizes the shoulder pocket for a stable mount, offering increased situational awareness and peripheral vision, but can create a pivot point for recoil. Low placement directs recoil energy more directly into the shoulder, potentially reducing felt recoil, but may decrease peripheral vision and require a lower head position. The choice between these techniques depends on the specific application.

This comprehensive guide, led by former military instructors John Lovell and Eddy Edwards from Warrior Poet Society, details essential techniques for shooting an AR-15. It covers proper buttstock placement in the 'shoulder pocket,' optimizing length of pull, adopting an athletic stance, and mastering the 'sandwich grip' for recoil management and stability. The instruction emphasizes visual recovery and muzzle control for accurate and rapid follow-up shots.
