Brownells Presents Jerry Miculek Practical Rifle Trailer

This expert-level guide from Farewell Firearms Training emphasizes the critical concept of rifle optic offset and its impact on shot placement. Instructor demonstrates how to accurately call shots by focusing on where the aiming point lifts during recoil, rather than the trigger pull itself. This technique is crucial for understanding ballistics, especially at close distances where the 3-inch offset significantly affects the point of impact.

Lucas Botkin, an experienced firearms instructor, emphasizes 'accountability shooting' over 'tactical' or 'combat' shooting. This approach prioritizes achieving 100% accuracy (Alpha hits) on targets, even at high speeds, to build a more complete picture of one's training effectiveness. The drill involves rapid fire at close-range USPSA targets, demanding precision under pressure.

This instructional video from Shortshot Tony focuses on improving shooting accuracy while in motion. The core technique involves maintaining a stable center of gravity by bending the knees and adopting a 'robotic' movement, which minimizes bounce and aids in target acquisition. The instructor emphasizes avoiding common mistakes like leaning forward.

This guide, presented by GBRS Group, contrasts competition reloads with essential tactical reloading techniques. It emphasizes that while shoulder reloads are faster in stationary competition, they compromise stability, control, and muzzle discipline in dynamic, 360-degree tactical environments. The expert instruction highlights the importance of maintaining weapon control and safety during reloads when on the move or seeking cover.

This guide, presented by Palmetto State Armory, details the fundamental differences between single-stage and two-stage firearm triggers. Single-stage triggers offer a direct pull with minimal take-up, ideal for rapid fire and competition, but carry a slightly higher risk of accidental discharge. Two-stage triggers provide a distinct take-up phase and a wall, favored by precision and long-range shooters for enhanced control. The choice is ultimately personal and depends on the intended application.

This video showcases a rapid-fire shooting drill led by Kyle Lamb and Tim Harmsen. Lamb emphasizes a training philosophy where shooters should prioritize speed, aiming for the target box, as accuracy naturally improves with practice. The drill involves a specific target transition sequence, with Tim Harmsen completing it in 4.45 seconds.

This video details the installation of a Geissele MK8 Super Modular Rail on an AR-15. Key steps include using a Geissele Reaction Rod for upper receiver stability, proper torquing of the proprietary barrel nut, and secure installation of the gas block and tube. The rail is then slid on and secured with two cross-bolts using a T-handle hex wrench. Final steps involve muzzle device installation and a thorough inspection.

Proper ammunition storage is crucial for maintaining reliability and safety. Avoid storing ammo in cardboard boxes in damp environments, as this leads to moisture absorption and corrosion. Utilize airtight containers like ammo cans and control humidity with desiccants like silica gel packs. Heat accelerates gunpowder and primer degradation, so store ammo at stable room temperatures. Reloading primers are particularly vulnerable to moisture and require strict airtight storage.

This video demonstrates how to upgrade an AR-15's A2 furniture to Magpul components. It details the removal of the A2 grip using a Bondhus hex set and the installation of a Magpul MIAD grip with interchangeable backstraps for improved ergonomics. The process also covers preparing and installing the Magpul PRS stock, highlighting its adjustable features for cheek weld and length of pull.

This video explores the custom Remington 11-87 shotgun used as a prop in 'No Country for Old Men.' The film required a semi-automatic shotgun with a suppressor, a combination not readily available at the time. Prop master Larry Zanoff details how a non-functional, 'homemade' looking suppressor was custom-built for the 11-87, with the iconic silenced sound effect achieved entirely in post-production.
