The method emphasizes pulling the shirt material away with the strong hand while exaggerating the thumb pull to create sufficient clearance for a smooth and efficient draw. The instruction covers the entire process from concealment to drawing, engaging, and reholstering.

This video demonstrates a fundamental doorway slicing technique for tactical entry. The instructor emphasizes a slow, deliberate approach, focusing on the opposite corner before initiating a 'slice' across the opening. The drill is designed to build speed and control through repetition, ensuring proper visual scanning of the doorway.

This guide details establishing a stable sniper firing position. It contrasts the traditional 'one knee up' method with the modern flat prone position, emphasizing the importance of a straight spine and flat heels to prevent movement. The instruction highlights how foot instability can translate to crosshair deviation, stressing the need for a solid foundation.

This guide details a cost-effective method for constructing a shooting range berm using readily available materials as an alternative to expensive Hesco baskets. It outlines the process of creating wire baskets, lining them with landscaping cloth, and filling them with material using a front-end loader to build a safe shooting environment.

This video demonstrates two techniques for shooting with iron sights in a Close Quarters Battle (CQB) context. The instructor explains the trade-offs between looking through the larger aperture versus looking over the rear sight, highlighting improved situational awareness with the latter. He also touches on the necessity of aiming high due to height over bore offset at CQB distances.

This short emphasizes the critical principle of 'aim small, miss small' for improved accuracy. It advises visualizing a precise point on the target, such as the high A-zone or heart, rather than a general area. This technique is crucial, especially at longer distances where the target may appear less distinct.

This drill, adapted from the pistol El Prez, tests a shooter's ability to rapidly switch rifle shoulders for engagement, simulating breaking cover in CQB scenarios. It emphasizes muscle memory for smooth transitions under time and accuracy constraints, requiring all 12 shots to be hits within 9 seconds at 7 meters.

This video details the 'Rifle Now Drill,' a demanding shooting exercise requiring shooters to fire 30 rounds from a rifle (one in the chamber, 29 in the magazine) within 13 seconds, followed by a reload and one additional shot. All 31 rounds must impact a specific target area. The drill emphasizes speed, accuracy, and efficient magazine management under pressure, with a focus on maintaining tight shot groups at a close distance.

This drill focuses on the critical skill of transitioning from a rifle to a pistol under time pressure. The instruction emphasizes breaking hands apart, managing the rifle with the support hand while the firing hand moves to the pistol, and achieving smooth, controlled movements. The goal is to execute the transition efficiently, ensuring both shots are hits within a tight time limit, highlighting the importance of muscle memory and deliberate practice.

This video demonstrates a strong-hand pistol reload technique, focusing on efficient magazine changes when the slide locks to the rear. It covers proper firearm presentation, magazine release, re-holstering, acquiring a fresh magazine, insertion, and racking the slide using various methods. The instruction emphasizes maintaining a stable and aggressive shooting stance throughout the process.

This video demonstrates a 'Turning Drill' often used in military firearms training, specifically by Green Berets. The drill emphasizes efficient movement and target engagement based on the direction of turn. A key takeaway is the importance of performing a tactical or slide-lock reload to ensure the firearm is ready for immediate follow-up actions, reinforcing the habit of ending a drill with a full magazine.

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.
