This guide details a cost-effective method for building range berms using DIY Hesco-style baskets. The process involves constructing wire mesh baskets, lining them with landscape cloth, and filling them with material using heavy equipment or manual labor. This DIY approach offers a practical alternative to expensive pre-fabricated units for creating safe shooting environments.

This guide details the construction of a DIY shooting range berm, offering a cost-effective alternative to military-grade Hesco baskets. It leverages practical advice from Karl Erickson, highlighting the use of chicken wire baskets lined with landscaping cloth, filled using a Bobcat loader. The process emphasizes creating essential range infrastructure for safe shooting.

This guide details a cost-effective method for constructing range barriers using DIY Hesco-style baskets. It outlines how to build these baskets from wire fencing, line them with landscaping cloth, and fill them with soil using heavy equipment or manual labor. The process emphasizes careful execution, especially when building higher levels, to ensure safety.

This guide details a cost-effective method for building a shooting range berm using DIY Hesco-style baskets. It outlines the construction process, material recommendations, and filling techniques, offering a practical alternative to expensive commercial options. The advice is presented with a focus on practical application for range development.

This video demonstrates a cost-effective method for building ballistic barriers for a shooting range, inspired by military Hesco baskets. It details using chicken wire fencing to create baskets, lining them with landscaping cloth, and filling them with dirt using a bobcat loader to construct range walls and bunkers.

This guide, presented by Karl from Tactical Rifleman, details the essential steps for constructing a private shooting range. It covers legal and insurance checks, site selection using a range fan, berm construction with considerations for settling and reinforcement materials like Hesco baskets or tires, and the importance of quality steel targets with proper safety distances. The guide also touches on ground cover, target stands, and critical medical and safety planning for range operations. Karl's extensive experience, including military fortification building, lends high authority to the practical advice provided.

Instruction from Karl Erickson of Tactical Rifleman demonstrates a critical close-quarters combat technique: using a tactical fixed blade knife to create space when an opponent attempts to grab a pistol. The video highlights the risks of close-range pistol draws and advocates for a knife transition to safely disengage and re-establish a firing platform. This technique emphasizes anatomical targets for creating distance rather than immediate lethal force.

This guide details a Navy SEAL's CQC room clearing technique, emphasizing 'economy of motion' and precise footwork. It highlights the critical 'long step' maneuver for maintaining balance and readiness when entering a corner-fed room, contrasting it with the dangerous 'short step.' The instruction, delivered by a subject matter expert, focuses on life-saving fundamentals for tactical proficiency.

This guide details an emergency ammo resupply technique using a standard USGI 6-Pocket Bandolier, as demonstrated by Karl Erickson from Tactical Rifleman. It explains how to utilize the bandolier's expandable pockets, designed for 5.56mm magazines, to rapidly pack ammunition for field resupply. The technique emphasizes efficient loading and compact storage for integration into tactical kits.

This video provides an expert-level ballistic gelatin test comparing 9mm and .45 ACP defensive ammunition. Instruction comes from Pete, a retired USSF member, who details the performance of Barnes TAC-XPD 9mm and Cor-Bon Pow'R Ball .45 ACP. The comparison focuses on penetration depth, wound cavitation, and feeding reliability, particularly for 1911 platforms.
