This video provides a practical tip for engaging close-range moving targets, learned from experience in Najaf. The instructor explains how to adjust bipod placement to enhance target tracking. By moving the bipod closer to the magwell, shooters can achieve greater cant with smaller elbow movements, widening their effective hunting field. Conversely, for longer distances, the bipod should be positioned further forward for increased accuracy and to mitigate human error.

This video demonstrates an alternative iron sight shooting technique for Close Quarters Battle (CQB) distances. The instructor explains how looking over the rear sight and focusing on the front sight post can improve situational awareness. While this method may cause shots to land high, it compensates for the height over bore offset common in CQB scenarios, especially when compared to red dot sights.

This video demonstrates the high ready rifle presentation technique, emphasizing its speed and muzzle awareness compared to low ready. The instructor highlights the importance of tucking the stock under the shoulder, presenting the rifle by 'punching' it forward, and snapping it back into the shoulder with positive tension for recoil management. It's noted that this position requires a different manipulation than low ready and is beneficial for maintaining muzzle discipline, though its use has decreased in some tactical circles.

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 video emphasizes the critical importance of consistent holster placement and firearm grip in combat shooting scenarios. It details a technique for establishing a proper grip by starting slightly low and sliding the hand forward, which allows for correction if the initial placement is too far forward or backward. This method ensures a perfect grip at the 'moment of truth' when it's needed most.

This video provides a practical tip for engaging close-up moving targets at distances of 100-200 meters. The instructor, drawing from experience in Najaf, advises moving the bipod closer to the magwell. This adjustment allows for greater cant when tracking targets by rocking elbows, effectively widening the 'hunting field'. For longer distances, the bipod should be moved further forward for optimal accuracy, as this configuration minimizes human error and fine movements.

This video demonstrates the 'Tap Rack' immediate action drill for clearing common pistol malfunctions. The instructor emphasizes that regardless of the specific malfunction, the tap, rack, and get back in the fight procedure should be the immediate response to a failure to fire. This technique relies on muscle memory to quickly resolve issues and return to a ready state.

This video addresses common issues when switching from iron sights to pistol optics, specifically the difficulty in finding the dot. It explains how traditional iron sight training, which involves a slightly elevated barrel, creates muscle memory that hinders optic acquisition. The instructor advises a more horizontal presentation to ensure the dot is visible earlier.

This review of the Sig Sauer 1911 X-Full highlights its blend of traditional 1911 design with modern enhancements. The pistol is chambered in .45 ACP, features a 5-inch stainless steel barrel, and comes equipped with X-ray 3 Day Night Sights and a Romeo X Red Dot optic. The reviewer praises its robust construction, impressive slide-to-frame fit, and comfortable ergonomics, noting its suitability for various shooting disciplines.

This video contrasts static shooting accuracy with the necessity of moving and shooting in real-world scenarios. It emphasizes that while stopping for higher accuracy is beneficial for competition, tactical situations demand continuous movement to maintain progress, acquire angles, and avoid fatal funnels, especially when working with teammates.

This video emphasizes the importance of training with camouflage targets to simulate real-world combat scenarios. It contrasts shooting at easily visible white targets with the necessity of identifying and engaging camouflaged targets in environments like woods. The core principle is 'train as you fight,' advocating for practice that mirrors the challenges faced on a modern battlefield.

This video provides practical tips for improving pistol grip for enhanced repeatability and minimal sight movement. Instructor Joe from Redbeard Shooting Solutions emphasizes the importance of grip structure, suggesting a bent wrist can be stronger than a straight one. He details how to apply pressure, particularly at the back end of the grip, and advocates for a firm handshake with the firing hand and more pressure with the support hand to control muzzle flip.
