A drill for LOW POWERED VARIABLE OPTICS #shorts #training #specialforces

This drill focuses on efficient transitions between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while emphasizing the proper use of magnification adjustment on a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO). The instructor highlights the importance of working the magnification control during the prone transition and engaging targets from various angles, including over-the-shoulder shots.

This drill focuses on efficiently manipulating the magnification on a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO) during dynamic shooting transitions. It emphasizes using handwork to adjust the optic's power as you move between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone), highlighting the advantages this provides in target acquisition and engagement.

This drill focuses on the efficient transition between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while incorporating the manipulation of an LPVO's magnification. The emphasis is on smoothly adjusting the optic as you change stances, followed by engaging multiple targets from different positions, including over cover. The instructor advises against fixating on time, prioritizing smooth execution and proper technique.

This drill focuses on transitioning between shooting positions (standing, kneeling, prone) while incorporating the use of a Low-Powered Variable Optic (LPVO). A key element is practicing magnification adjustment during the transition to prone, highlighting the tactical advantage of quickly adapting to different engagement distances. The drill emphasizes controlled fire and positional proficiency.

This drill, demonstrated by Tactical Rifleman, focuses on the efficient manipulation of magnification on a Low Power Variable Optic (LPVO) while transitioning between shooting positions. The core principle is to maintain 1X magnification for immediate threats and only dial up magnification when transitioning to prone for engaging further targets, emphasizing the development of muscle memory for this critical skill. The drill involves engaging targets from standing, kneeling, and prone positions at 50 meters, simulating real-world scenarios where target distance dictates optic adjustment.

This video from Brownells, featuring Caleb, explores the optimal zero distances for an AR-15, primarily for competition use. It analyzes four common zero distances: 25, 36, 50, and 100 yards, detailing their impact zones on an IPSC A-zone target at various ranges. The instructor emphasizes that the 'best' zero is dependent on the intended use of the firearm and the optic employed, recommending the 100-yard zero as a versatile option for experienced shooters, while suggesting 36 or 50 yards for those using red dots or LPVOs respectively, especially for closer engagements.

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.
